One reason the Action 2 couldn't work as a 360 camera even if you could run two sensor units back-to-back is the fact the FOV is only 150 degrees. A 360 or VR180 camera requires a FOV of 180 degrees at least. And to get crop room for stabilization, or overlap for stitching, in common 360/180 cameras the FOV of each lens is usually 220 degrees.
So, alas, two Action 2 modules back-to-back wouldn't quite be able to cover full 360.
Yeah, solid points. I would presume they could add a fisheye magnetic conversion module to each of the lenses so give some wiggle room for stitching but at this time it’s obvious it’s just not gonna happen. I don’t know what they’re waiting for. Patent nightmare I would speculate. Insta360 really nailed it though so kudos for them. |
