There are plenty of action cameras on the market to provide a first person view of your exploits, but EyeSee360 now has two new cameras that provide a panoramic view of the action. The first up is the 360Fly, which is a tennis-ball-sized video camera that can be mounted on a helmet or just left stationary. It captures 360 degrees horizontally and 240 degrees vertically, which is now the widest viewing angle of any camera on the market.
It can capture video at 1,500 x 1,500 at 30 frames per second, is waterproof to five meters and can record for up to two hours.
The other offering is the 360MicroFly, a 360 degree panoramic video lens that can be attached to select smartphones, and is compatible with Android and iOS apps. Both versions will be out later this year to offer 360 degrees of functionality.
Move over action cameras that offer a single point of view; the Geonaute camera can record 360-degree video and still images. Inside this device, which has to be worn on the top of one’s head it seems, are three 8MP cameras fitted with wide-angle lenses to capture everything in a 360-degree horizontal and 150-degree vertical field of view. This wearable camera can record up to two hours of video and can be controlled via a wristwatch-style remote.
