this is just a memorandum for myself looking for a tool capable of acceptable quality 360 vr shots in very specialized situations.
FIMI Palm
xiaomi held firm, sells 130-190 € online
As we speak there is no vr360 option or software for it but it is said to be able to capture a 180 image.
DJI osmo Pocket
was the first coming out. Needs a module to connect wifi to the phone, or takes a direct usb connection. No direct tripod mounts.
It’s capable to take 3×3 wide images with its 80 degree camera. As we speak there is a new firmware coming said to be able to take more than the 3×3 wide picture, but not sure.
FEIYU POCKET
seems a clever copy of the dji
REMOVU K1
KEELAD P6A
seems cheap but with compromises.
