Is this really worth over 400 dollars?
I was disappointed with this camera.
I don't know where to start..
The 5.7k/4k resolution claim is very arguable. Indoor videos are impossible with this camera. The videos come out noisy and blury, not just in the vr headset - but on the raw files. This camera is VERY bad without enormous lighting (sometimes even with it) .
I didn't like that I need to have a phone app installed and connected via wifi at all times in order to get any functionality out of this camera.
I did not like the manual being a one 6" sheet of paper (with maybe 150 words), not nearly describing the entire ins and outs so that i have to search their website / Google for answers.
I didn't like having to youtube how to do a firmware update on their camera because their website didn't adequately explain it.
I certainly did not like the multiple beepings.. on every.. single.. click..
I felt as if I could've produced the same quality of performance of the 180 3d from the Vuze XR with 2 off-brand GoPro cameras and a stereoscopic frame.
I really wanted to like this camera, I made excuses to ignore my reasoning. I thought - maybe it's the firmware or maybe there is a way to change the video quality in the phone app but no.. In the end after having everything at its highest setting I realized this is just not what I expected. In my honest opinion it's not worth the price.
