360-degree

Ricoh's Theta 360-degree camera has come a long way since it first appeared in hammerhead concept form at CES 2013. Now the company has toughened up the panoramic immersion machine so it can get to work in extreme environments.

If you consume much of your audiovisual content on a smartphone, then the living-room soundbar isn't going to satisfy your listening needs. Sony's new HT-AX7 could fit the bill though, which promises room-filling immersive audio in a portable package.

Last year Insta360 introduced the One RS 1-Inch 360 Edition, a panoramic camera engineered in partnership with Leica. Well, the thing can now be used to shoot deeper underwater than ever before, thanks to Mantis Sub's RS360 watertight housing.

For the last 4 years, high-end audio brand Devialet has been working to make the kind of impressive sound delivery found in its extraordinary Phantom speakers portable. The fruit of that labor is now available as the room-adapting 360-degree Mania.

Insta360 has launched an update to its 360-degree pocket actioncam. The candybar-shaped X3 can capture all-around stabilized video at up to 5.7K resolution accompanied by directional audio, with tweaking possible via app-based AI editing tools.

Insta360 has announced a powerful new addition to the One RS modular actioncam system launched back in March. The 1-Inch 360 Edition shoots immersive 6K video and is the first 360-degree camera to be co-engineered with Leica.

Insta360 has announced a dedicated 360-degree camera setup for DJI's Mavic Air 2 or 2S drones that allows pilots to capture all-around immersive photos or videos while effectively cutting the camera-drone out of recorded aerial images altogether.

Insta360 has announced a successor to its One R modular actioncam system, which comes with a new 4K Boost Lens, more powerful brains for faster Wi-Fi and instant zoom, enhanced image stabilization and a redesigned mounting bracket.

Ricoh Imaging has announced the March release of a new addition to the Theta family of 360-degree cameras. The Theta X comes with its own touchscreen for more independence from a smartphone, an interchangeable battery and a microSD slot.

While 360-degree security cameras are great for imaging a wide area, they're not so great when you want to zoom in on something that looks suspicious. A new setup addresses that problem, by combining three cameras in one system.

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.
