SP360 4K-BK5

There are some quibbles (like I wish the charging ports was easier to access while on a mount) but for under $300 you cannot beat this package. The best part is if you get yourself a Dual Tripod Bracket here on Amazon you can also make 3D 180 VR. Making 180 3D requires a bit more effort in the post production, like you cannot stitch with the included software because its not make to for SBS, but there are plenty of rendering options to make it happen. Video posted shows a SBS render I completed, on YouTube it's in either 2D 180 VR on a phone or PC but 3D VR with a headset. Pretty cool.

The software provided by Kodak is not Only difficult to find, but it is out-of-date. All the youtube videos are 6+ years old and are not relevant to the current issues. To put the video on social media, you have to run it through Adobe Premier, but Premier does not recognize the files the software produces. You youtuber said to run it through GoPro software, but that is no longer available and the new software does not recognize the file format produced by the software. I don’t recommend this product. One more thing, Kodak support is is either lacking or non existent. One more thing, the cameras STOPPED recording before the most important event of the decade. The cameras are unreliable and the battery life is not good. Buy something else, these are not worth what you pay for them.

I have used 10 gopro's and worked hard to get them to work if one went bad you have to start over... Gopro Hero 4 Black heats up fast... The Kodak 4K s two camera takes pretty darn great video.. This 360 thing is vert hard and tricky, the camera are the easiest part the editing can be tough. The software when it works is pretty darn good.. however is quicker.. I use Autopano and that is much harder to use, I mean harder to learn... I have been trying for two weeks to understand the Key frame for stitching... I use the 4k for everythinjg so I am working daily.. and the 4k is pretty good i mean pretty darn good.. its pretty strong in low light compared to gopro's and the other models... for 1000 bucks.. I am getting ready to buy two more...Solid 360 will change everything... be on the cusp instead of behind...you can GoPro or you can "Kill it with Kodak"!

Originally this was going to be a very negative review, the first units we were sent had clearly been tampered with (both lenses scratched and missing the duel camera mount) but amazon support is awesome and we have a new pair today (the next day). Many reviews here are bad mostly due to the included stitching software, but in my experience it is definitely good enough. Its no videostitch or autopano video yeah, but its free and I was able to go from shooting to premiere to Youtube in about a half hour, video quality is good and stitching was decent. The reason for the 3 stars is the included mounts and battery solution. The duel and single camera mounts both require the camera to be completely removed in order to get at the battery, sd card and ports making shooting test shots a big pain. The kit also only comes with a single battery charger for the two cameras essentially doubling the time it takes to prepare for a shot. Two cameras that are meant to operate simultaneously should have a means to charge simultaneously. All in all, if you need to shoot 360 video RIGHT NOW, this is probably your best bet for under $1000

This camera is great!! The software works just fine but if you want to get more technical you can buy other programs to stitch the videos better. Cant complain about any of its features since in my opinion its the best camera under $1000 as today.

I love my pixpros. They are great and they are most definitely very useful. I've already had them for a while now and have experimented in several different environments. I've taken them to as high as the summit of a volcano to as deep as the Galapagos shallow waters with the sharks. Left them overnight in time-lapse mode on a very remote field, adapted them to use on my drone, at restaurants, real estate, and so many different uses, I'd probably spend ages just listing them. Anyway, I had to deduct one star because one of the cameras was out of focus. At first I contacted Kodak and shipping back and forth, even under warranty was going to cost me more than the actual kit (customs in Ecuador at the time of my ordeal, are crazy expensive, not worth it), so I figured, if I have to shell out again money to buy new ones, let's see if I can fix it... So I opened up the camera and adjusted the focus and now it's better than ever. As a matter of fact, I had to move the focus on the other camera to match how sharp it got after the fix. I am not sure why the lens on one of the cameras was out of focus, but after fixing it, it never lost focus again. I got the underwater casing and haven't had any issues so far. The software is so-so, but good enough for a quick edit. It does do a decent stitching, but I use the kolor software for better results and then on premiere to fix the horizon and vibration. The EIS mode is definitely NOT ideal for stitching video, because it shakes more than desired. It works best when recording in single camera mode (specially from the drone). I have managed to reduce vibration in dual camera EIS on by doing some mods to the rig, but it's best to just not go that route and fix it in post. The one big beef I have with this, is that I cannot use existing go-pro/action camera accessories, unless I mod them. There is always a workaround, but it still never stops being an annoyance. Again, camera quality is great! I will be buying new batteries and protective lens covers just in case (and before they are no longer available) and I'll consider on buying another kit for a custom quad rig. I have several VR cameras and multi-camera rigs, but this one is probably one of my favorites because of the ease of use, quality and speed to stitch. I am considering to get the new kodak unibody 360 camera as well, so we'll see how that compares to this kit. Same as with my other reviews, this is all my own personal opinion after using the equipment for personal or commercial use. I was not influenced by the provider or manufacturer in any way for my review rating of their product or service. :: UPDATE NOV 2020:: My 360 camera collection has greatly expanded since getting these cameras, but I figured I'd pitch in on why it may be worth buying in 2020/2021 and why you may want to look for alternatives. 1st reason to keep: Whether you have 1, 2, 3 4 or more of these cameras, you can connect them all via OBS or other camera capturing software for nice wide angle streams directly via USB 2.0 and 3.0, So for creative shooting or livestreaming they are pretty good when connected to a main computer. 2nd reason: If you have multiple of these cameras, you can use them temporarily as security cameras. They can show you a full fisheye view of the area, can record in loop mode in 4k. Connects via HDMI or USB to whatever you use for your custom security layout. Has batteries, so if there is an outage, the cards will continue recording in loop mode until batteries on the cameras die. 3rd reason: they are good enough for 3D 180 FPV video and photography. Not great for today's standards, but good enough if you are experimenting. 4th reason: If you have 3 or more of these cameras (up to 5 per remote control), you will be able to get a much better panoramic with a mostly undistinguishable stitch line. You will need a custom mount and using a top camera makes little difference in my tests, except for very complex ceilings (or floors if inverted). I use this only for low budget projects, as the quality will not be that much better even if you use more of these cameras at once, sadly. Video in this format will only be worth it if you use a custom gimbal or cameras are steady. Stitch in motion is near impossible with or without EIS. 5th reason: They are good enough for simple vlogging or training workshops when quality isn't a priority. Mainly because of the USB and HDMI. I can link them to a projector to show what I am doing, or to a computer to show, stream and record it all at once. Mix, match and experiment. If you have an HDMI switch, you can swap cameras during your presentation as often as needed, and you can also record directly to the SDs if you so desired, for later editing and archiving. 6th Reason: Use it for zoom, skype or any other video chat. Whether it is at a business table, your office or home, if you need several people in the same shot, this camera will help you accomplish that. Put it facing forward for a large crowd behind you, or set it down flat on the table, when you have many people gathered around. Now, why I personally would not buy this camera again? The quality isn't as good, compared to newer cameras at a much lower or similar price point. If quality is your thing, go for a newer model. They do not shoot in RAW and even if the CMOS is 12Mpx, it only shoots in 8Mpx non-HDR, so for real estate, your highlights will be burnt out, your shadows will be dark and your mid tones will look nice. Everything else you'll have to do your best in post. Image quality is OK and Image Stabilization is fine in single-camera mode. It will not work for dual-camera mode (or even with more cameras) as the stitch-line will just keep on jumping. An adequate gimbal and vibration dampener may help but it will still take a lot of time in POST compared to single-body cameras with built-in IS. You can use them on a drone, but they are pretty heavy compared to newer cameras, so unless you have the the correct drone and adapter, you'll be fighting for stabilization. On my drone, I use the Fusion to shoot timelapse photos and video as needed, with a special hanging train so the drone is high enough to remove in post. but with all this talk, good or bad, I still feel it is a much better product than the Kodak Orbit 360. There are better cameras out there, but for low budget, emergencies or any of the alternate usages I've mentioned, these cameras are still, in my opinion worth keeping. But for my VR Projects, I use my cameras with RAW and HDR for best quality. So for a 2020/2021 consideration, only buy it if you want a VR webcam, otherwise get a newer camera... but that is just my personal opinion.

Very nice product, easy to use, much less work on editing with only 2 cameras, very little to no visible parallax lines.

Its Horrible. Trying to read instructions to setup to use is an exersize in frustration. Software in cam does NOT work like instructions say it should. There is NO phone number to call as Kodak cant afford humans for support. I will give the cam another 20 mins to try setup, then I will box it up and send it back. I wont use something that requires more than an hour to use out of the box. Low quality camera with ZERO value for the money and low functionality. Will NOT Buy again.

Die Dual PixPro bietet mir einen guten Kompromiss mit ordentlicher Bildqualiät und einfachem Handling. Auch die dazugehörige Software zum Stitchen lässt sich leicht bedienen.

We had a micro wedding, and I used this camera to to record the service for all those who would have wanted to join us. The quality was incredible. Everyone loved wearing the VR headset and stepping into the wedding. Great for us too to seethe service from a different perspective. I just need a longer battery life, and/or easier access to load a fresh battery.

Vino mal la cámara, una batería no duraba nada y la cámara recalentaba.

Les caméscopes sont activés par la télécommande vendue avec. Lorsqu'ils fonctionnent de cette façon les piles doivent être complètement chargées, la consommation en énergie est importante. En amateur j'ai mis une vidéo prise de nuit et cinq photos prises à partir d'un vélo. Ne connaissant pas les performances d'autres appareils je mets cinq étoiles.

Je trouve cette caméra compliquée à faire fonctionner pour des résultats ordinaire. Mais le pire, c'est qu'il s'agit d'un model discontinué par la compagnie Kodak et donc, il n'y a plus de support. Je vous conseil le "Kodak Pixpro 4KVR360" qui semble être plus récent et en un seul morceau. Ou bien tout autre caméra d'action qui vous permet une réelle vision 360° pour ainsi faire de la réalité virtuelle. Personnellement, je vais la retournée !
