360-degree

When it comes to shooting 360-degree interactive video, the Insta360 Pro 2 is quite a capable camera … but it can't go underwater. That's about to change, however, with the release of the Mantis Sub housing.

Maryland firm Door Robotics has hit Kickstarter with what it claims is the world's first fully integrated 360-degree camera drone. The Vista combines the output of two ultra-wide cameras into an all-encompassing, depth-mapped 8K/30-fps video stream.

Insta360 has upgraded its pocket-sized 360-degree camera – but without adding to its already-beefy 5.7K resolution. The new Insta360 One X2 instead gets some extra intelligence designed to make it an easier, less fiddly and more useful video tool.

Back in March, we brought news that Ricoh had spun out its Theta 360-degree camera division into its own entity called Vecnos Inc. Now the first product from that new company is being readied for release, the oddly named IQUI.

HP is looking to serve folks who find themselves having to work away from the office with some powerful new laptops. The EliteBook x360 1000 series machines come packing 5G mobile connectivity and a long per charge battery life.

Ricoh has provided funding for one of its design teams to create a wand-like 360-degree immersive video stick, and has even launched a new company to sell it. The Vecnos camera will be available later this year.

360-degree cameras are the action cams of the future – and Insta360 has found a way to combine their amazing capabilities with a more traditional GoPro-style setup for monster image quality. Meet the modular Insta360 One R, co-designed with Leica.

The Theta family of handheld 360-degree cameras is expanding with the introduction of an update to 2016's Theta SC. The SC2 ups the megapixel count, is capable of 4K video recording and comes with 14 GB of internal storage.

Given how 360-degree video cameras allow viewers to feel as if they're "in" the viewing environment, it would follow that one of their best uses would be for shooting underwater footage. Well, the 360bubble Deep is designed to help that happen.

​​Drowsy drivers kill, which is why we’ve seen a number of technological solutions take aim at the problem. The Vezo 360 is the latest to roll onto the scene and serves as a 360-degree dash cam first and foremost, but with the ability to pick up on tired drivers and give them a nudge if need be.

​Insta360 is no stranger to the world of 360-degree video cameras, having brought us consumer, prosumer and professional models. Now the company is back with the Evo, which can shoot both 360-degree interactive video and 180-degree 3D.

​Since being launched in 2013, Ricoh's Theta 360 degree camera has grown in number and capabilities. Now the company has added the latest iteration to the range – the Theta Z1, which becomes the new series flagship.​
