Do you like to take panoramic photos? Just imagine if the
panoramic photos were taken in 360 degrees, and they could move! Yup, this is
what's offered by an action cam named VSN Mobil V.360.
At first glance, the form of this device looks more like a
coffee maker rather than an action cam. It has a diameter of 56 mm, a height of
about 102 mm, and weighs about 230 grams. As an action cam, V.360 has received
IP67 certification, which means that it can be brought to dive to a depth of 1
meter for 30 minutes.
Behind its unique design, there are sophisticated
technologies saved: the combination of the lenses, 1/2.3-inch image sensor and
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with 2,3 GHz quad-core processor which allows V.360
to record 360 degree videos horizontally, creating a panoramic videos with a
resolution of 6480×1080 in 30 fps.
The 360 degree panoramic videos and images are captured
instantly. You don't need to rotate the V.360 body. All parts of the picture,
from the left end to the right end, are taken in one-time shot, without
undergoing the stitching process as applied to the majority of smartphones when
taking panoramic photos.
It will be more interesting when you combine V.360 with the
VR (virtual reality) - the V.360 developer also offers their own VR goggles
separately. Thus, the 360 degree videos and images that have been taken by
V.360 can be made as a virtual world.
V.360 stores the video recordings in microSD, with a maximum
capacity of 128 GB. The micro USB 3.0 connectivity has been pinned to
accelerate the transferring process of high resolution images and videos to
laptop or computer.
If you don't like cables, V.360 offers live streaming
functionality via Wi-Fi to five devices at once. In addition, there is also
Bluetooth 4.0 connection to communicate with V.360 companion application on
Android and iOS devices. Through V.360 application, users can watch their
actions, edit photos and videos captured, and then share them to social
networking.

relevant information of your movements by using the combination of GPS,
barometer, altimeter, and accelerometer. The 2610mAh battery is claimed can run
up to 2 hours non-stop when used to record a video.
