360º Bublcam Demonstration - If This Got Better, It Could Be Great

[dandoolittle]

Massive fan of Techmoans stuff. I haven't been on YouTube for a few weeks but spotted this little gem. You can tell it's a bit too new and buggy but they look like they're selling it. He did say that it was a beta though to be fair

Couple of things that I dont like but I will be keeping an eye on it

Battery is 1 hour which is crap
Looks buggy
It's $800 which is a put off for me. Thats about £550 I think



Could be a great cam for tracks etc

Interesting indeed.

 

[dandoolittle]

Defiantly. I'd love it for q track but I'd wait for a few more builds to come out

I was excited till the $799 price tag.

 

[Nerb]

That is pretty cool. Im sure it will spur on more models!

imagine the file sizes... damn

Top Gear channel has a video of the Stig doing a lap on a 360 camera, best watched on a tablet or phone using the YT app. As he races turn the phone round

I feel like they rushed this 360 tech to the public pretty quickly. Even gopro's experiment with the 360 stuff doesn't look that great..

Because they keep rushing it. They all want to be the first in the next grand idea

The way it warps when he pans the camera makes me feel a bit motion sick.

I have quite a bit of interaction with guys who don't ride ("yet"most say) and I think the motion sickness aspect of it might actually play into their fantasy of riding. I know, I know... I don't understand these kids now days....get of my lawn

I'm so confused.

£550 isn't bad when you think something like a Drift is £250. That thing has 4 wide angle lens cameras in it.

 

[MrJoel]

Here is something similar on a bike...pretty sweet

ARidersLife has a few videos of him using a 360° camera that he posted up about a week ago.

 

[sjbali]

i so want one

While Im a geek and I love the tech, I still like the normal vlogs where the rider and what they are focusing on are the main stay of the video.

I could see this being amazing for safety cameras though, one cam to cover all aspects in case of an incident.
