Huawei 360 Panoramic VR Camera
Verified1 review
Incredible, actual 360 degree Photos and Videos – What an amazing little device. The Huawei 360 degree Camera is incredible. I love it! So what does it do? It’s a camera with a difference. This one has DUAL 13 MP camera, one point forward, the other opposite, with these having 120 degree lenses, they achieve a 360 degree image. Incredible 5K Photos and 2K Videos. Yes, 5K moving photos! These are just mind-blowing! You don’t have to squeeze everyone in, you can capture the whole family, and your neighbours. At a football game, the cricket, concerts. Stream 360 degree videos LIVE and allow your followers to see EVERYTHING, not just where you point.
Not quite a still image, you can move around and see everything. You are able to share the image, and your friends can rotate and see 360 degree around you! Imagine the possibilities!
You can also shoot videos, in full 360 degree view, so you can rotate around and see the entire picture. All this while watching the video.
With the option to export as a GIF, posting to social media has never been easier.
The camera connects to your mobile phone, using USB-C. I use a Samsung Galaxy S9, it it is flawless. The Huawei 360 camera APP works as you need. Some filters and instructions built in. Sorry, but iPhone owners, I am pretty sure it will not work for you.
*Compatability - select Huawei Mate & P series, Samsung Galaxy series, and other USB-C port smartphones running Android 6.0 or later.
With little practice you will be creating amazing 360 degree photos and videos. Imagine some hidden waterfall, and absolute 360 views to take with you. No more setting your phone to panorama, taking one shot, move a little, another, move a little.
This is the 360 degree camera that is simple, affordable and works, straight out of the box. It is as simple as plug it in, the APP will even start automatically, then shoot photos, video, even go LIVE! Yes, you can even go live with this camera.
You can view and edit the photos and videos in 4 different modes (Fisheye, Panorama, Little Planet and VR. Yes, the Huawei 360 Camera shoots in VR standard Format and can be viewed with Huawei and other VR Headsets.
Best viewed on mobile devices, a bit hit and miss on Apple iPad, even through Facebook. But Samsung seems to almost natively use this perfectly.
I have some ideas for later uses, besides just having fun. When I travel, or visit family, I will definitely be taking this with me. At about 3.5cm x 3.5cm and 2.5cm thick, weighing a mere 30g, this sits on your mobile phone (turn it upside down) and you are ready to shoot.
The resulting photos are great, you can scroll around and see not only the person, or the view they were looking at, but everything, in a true 360 degree environment, that you can control. You can even zoom in and out! A 1 m 10 sec 360 degree video which you can move around in and have sound, is a paltry 134Mb.
Birthdays, Weddings, Any gathering will be made that more special, when you can share phots and videos that are truly interactive, truly 360 degree, and will undoubtedly provide some incredible moments to remember.
* My only warning is remember, it shoots EVERYTHING in 360 degrees. It WILL capture stuff you may not notice at the time. Just saying.
But this is a brilliant bit of equipment. At under AU$100 it is going to be a major items for social media people to capture everything!
I will use this regularly. I can see a lot of uses for it, pleasure and possibly business. As I said at the start, this is a great quality, affordable, simple to use addition that not only makes sense, but is logical.
I highly recommend this item.
