Ratings and reviews

Normal full-screen panoramas of good quality give us more joy. (Even though they're non-stereo). VR 720p photos have very limited resolution/clarity. Besides, one needs glasses... You could further polish your DMD project instead. There are still some things you could further improve even in DMD viewer. (For example, it doesn't allow me to hide device's panel with "Home", "Back" and "Menu" buttons. In order to maximize view area, these must be hidden. Needs more work with DMD software).

I take 360° real estate photos. I am very happy with this. It's easy to use and the quality of the panos is good. I am looking forward to RAW capture and stitching into a DNG or TIF to take full advantage of my camera 😊. Thank you for a good product at a good price.

Customer service (Eli) took me by the hand and showed me how simple the camera is to use. I had a difficult start but now I am quite excited to use the camera to create a home tour.
