Could not wait for the Theta 4K so I got a Garmin Virb 360. Here's my first video:
(best viewed on a tablet or phone where you can turn around and see stuff. On a desktop, simply drag the view around)
Things to note:
- Image quality is limited by the performance of the 1/2.3 sensors. Need more exposure range.
- 4K is barely enough for passable 360 video. The Virb 360 has a 5.6K mode, which is actually 2x4k according to the new math, but you need to stitch together on desktop. I will try that next and see if it is worth the trouble.
- I prefer the form factor of the Theta.
