360fly - Panoramic 360° HD Video Camera - Black

good , but need to be able to get to the advanced features. If you go to the http://192.168.2.1 when connected to the ad hoc wifi (wifi directly to the camera) there is a web interface. Access to these advanced featured would really help us who do high end DV editing. Screen shots all can be found here http://s129.photobucket.com/user/GiantStuffedAnimals/library/360Fly?sort=3&page=1 .

So simple to use and easy to edit/share with social media and friends. I'm catching all the shots and selecting the perfect frame and angle that I would normally miss when surfing with non-360 degree cameras!

An affordable 360 vr camera all in one that is easy to get started and use. Though the camera picture is taken in high def 1080, stretching it with the fish eye lens and then veiwing only a fraction of it makes it for a pixilated low resoluton video(unless viewing at full 360. They should opt for the new norm of a 4k camera and a way to interchange batteries. Easy to use when just recording but using in tandem with a screen/phone will drain the battery faster with no way of changing batteries and once a battery is drain, camera does not let you charge and go at the same time. Which is a big downfall for long trips/adventures while using a portable power supply. But in all it is affordable, robust and waterproof(as long as mic is plugged) and with an easy one button function with vibrate function for grab and go. Though boot up may take a bit of waiting for the ADD generation.

I use it while riding my motorcycle, I don't have any problems with it mounted on my gas tank (especially at the speed I've gone with it). Recording is very good, sound quality is great as well. With any new thing it needs a little improvement. Main thing is the time it takes to download to my phone as well as buffering during playback- even when the 360 right next to my phone. Other than that this thing is awesome!

Compared to my GoPro Hero Black, this device has not been as functional when you do not have an internet connection to run your app and you cannot charge and download your device. I was on a a four-day remote trip in Central Kalimantan in Borneo where I had no cell service or electricity available. My GoPro uses memory cards. That was easy when one was filled, I just changed it. Also, my cell phone app did not work without a cell tower. Maybe there is a way to work around this. The GoPro is much easier without the cell app plus a remote is available. I own both cameras and several others like the Sony A6000 and Sony D7000 that I also had on this trip. I have filled sever 64GB memory cards. It is more important for me to be able to change memory cards than to have it totally submersible. This is a great concept and I think future versions may be worth buying. There is another 4K version coming soon and it must have more internal memory or you would only get about 10 minutes of 4k video.

I had this camera for several weeks now and purchased it because I was curious about the 360 degree coverage. I purchased because the videos could be played back with Google cardboard. That experience is still somewhat buggy but works good enough to enjoy. I wish the quality was better but good all in all. This camera is fun to play with and awesome to view in 360.

So we had like 3 GoPro cameras. I love GoPro. But I adore this camera. The editing tools on the app are crazy easy to use, the 360 perspective is just amazing, the camera itself is easy to use, it's lightweight, and I am super impressed that they gave us an adapter for the GoPro mounts instead of having their own overpriced mounts you are forced to buy when you have 100 mounts for the GoPro stuck to everything you own. And the adapter COMES WITH IT!!! Am I the only person solidly impressed by that? Anyway, our kids race motocross, we all ride as a family, we snowboard, wakeboard, wake surf, snowmobile, hike, camp, bicycle, motorcycle, go kart race, flat track race and the kids race bmx in the summer. We use this thing constantly. We are out doing something every weekend without fail. We probably need 3 more. I'm just going to strap one to each of them permanently!

This camera is easy to use and does a great job of getting a 360 view of your surroundings. It is not 360 in all directions (just horizontally) but again, as an introduction, it is great. The quality of the video is good in good lighting - lacking in cloudy or dimly lit environments. The apps (phone and computer) are sufficient for quick editing but aren't as functional as iMovie or other video editing software. I look forward to the next generation of this (4k).
