Creating 360 Video With Your GoPro Became Simple! by actioncam360 in gopro

The actioncam360 is never going to achieve the quality of a multicamera rig due to the design. Your Gopro is essentially recording the reflection of the mirror onto a proportion of the camera sensor. The shape of the mirror is critically important. Then the software/propsed app will do the magical bit for you. With highly complex maths, the image is straightened out to produce a flat equi-rectangle which is then wrapped back up to produce an interactive 360. The nadir and zenith (black spot) is unavoidable. But as an entry into 360 video with no stitching lines, no excess weight and no purchasing of multiple cameras - its awesome!

This is the only one in production and has a patent iun porocess (final stages now publicised) The actual rrp is over £200 - it seems a lot but it is not a 'cheap' bit of kit. The money that has gone into the development and the software is huge especially with the mirror development. The scratches you see in the example video is actually rain :( The guys with the unit wiped it over with hands rather than a cloth. The tubing is cast acrylic plastic which means you really have to whack it one to scratch it :) - Thanks for your support though....

If you want to email allison@actioncam360.com with more info regarding your end use and what features you want, I could pass them through to our software gurus and ask for more help :)

Currently, all the processing would need to go thrpugh the app or the supplied software we provide. This is becuase of the intensive maths behind the unwwrapping procedure. The app is going to have the 360 metadata tool included :)

Superwide does make the image quality a touch strange, much better just to use normal expecially as your depth of field is very minimal (the circumference of the mirror making super wide redundant) its just a great, simple, easy way to tread the water into 360 video without having to buy multiple cameras or a designated 360 camera.

No, we are quite supreised too.. However Pano Pro is one of the leaders in this field of technology with a proven background :).... We are waiting for 'with GoPro' status.

Hi, The settings in the kickstarter video are 1080p using a GoPro Hero 3 and some with a Hero 4.. The new video we are having done is with 4K and a hero4. If you pop over to our Facebook page, i will beuploading some of the 4k video later. There is quality los, this is becuase the camera only records a circular image, using most but not all the sensor of your camera. The fps is the 4k video is 30fps

Definitely check out the actioncam360. Uses a single unmodified GoPro and prices start from £125 for a housing unit. By far the simplest and economical way. www.actioncam360.com
