360 Degree Camera

I just saw that RICHO launched a new version of their Theta camera the Theta S.

Here's an example of a video shot on with the Theta S:

Unfortunately the video quality isn't that great because it would make some very interesting motovlogs.

Any thoughts?

I'd actually like to have a drone that flies overhead when I ride, but I don't think there's one that can do 65+mph. At least not one I could ever afford.

True, but much larger and a lot more expensive.

I thought about buying one until I saw the video quality.

LOL. That would be an awesome view!

There's another one called the FLY 360...

Caused a decent controversy in the AMA Motocross series this summer. A rider was recently sponsored by them and the racing organization (AMA) refused to let him wear the camera because GoPro is a title sponsor of the series. The racer ended up shutting his team down (still paid his riders) because the deal was worth more $ than racing the series and not using the camera.

I will say the quality of the image is pretty crap as is the audio. There's lots of room for improvement but its pretty neat
