The V.360 camera records stills and video.

Specs:

  • Field of view: 360 degrees horizontal, 60 degrees vertical
  • Video frame rate: 30 fps
  • Video format: MP4
  • Video resolution: 6480 x 1080
  • Burst mode: 5 pictures in quick succession
  • Bluetooth version: 4.0
  • USB port: version 3.0
  • Storage: Micro SD, up to 128GB

Observations:

  • Recorded video consists of two 180 degree strips, stacked on one another without separation. The resolution of this footage is 3248 x 2178. MP4 video file size is ~2.4MB per second. The video codec is H264-MPEG4 AVC Part 10 (avc1). The video includes audio in stereo at 48kHz (as reported by VLC).
  • Camera comes with conversion software "V360 Video Exporter". It converts to Youtube format (3840 x 1698 pixels) or Panoramic (3840 x 642 pixels). Both conversions result in files 1/4 the size of the original. The Youtube type adds black space at top and bottom of the video to pad it for a 180 degree vertical field of view.
