Top 360 Degree Cameras For Video VR Filming

Virtual reality has taken the world by storm, and due to the advance in technology it has now become possible to take 360-degree videos that show you all the angles of the video!

If you are still confused about what exactly a 360-degree video is then think of it in this way – when you look at an object, you see it from all the angles and directions and not just one point of view. A 360-degree video will allow you to do the same and not just show you one single angle through out. Instead, users can move the video around and see what’s above the object, below it or beside it!

The video is taken by recording all the different angles of the shot and then ‘stitching’ them together to form one video. Some companies like GoPro (GoPro’s 16 camera rig Odyssey) have created rigs that use multiple cameras facing in different directions, while other use a dome shaped lens. With this immersive kind of footage, it becomes much easier to experience things and see them in depth. Google-owned websites like YouTube and Facebook already support such videos and so users don’t need to buy an additional device like the Oculus Rift to watch them.

If you are a video uploader and want to make your content even more fascinating, there’s no better way than to switching to a 360-degree camera! Here are some of the best options available in the market right now.
