Things that I like about this camera will focus on both my work and personal fun factor use.
1: It came with the selfie pole that doubles as a tripod. This may seem trivial to many, but it's actually much better than I thought it would be. Depending on the angle and extension you hold it out, the pole is completely gone from the picture.
2: The fact that the pole can be extended and retracted very easily is a big plus for carrying it everywhere and start shooting right away. Since it is a gopro accessory, you can also connect any other gopro or compatible action camera and accessory to it, if you won't use it for the fusion.
3: Ruggedness. It feels solid and the rubbery case makes it so easy to handle without much concern of slippery fingers which could spell camera doom. The buttons are also easy to reach and use and just feels solid
4: It's actually waterproof without any extra hardware! Ok, so you cannot go diving too deep with it, but it will still work for some nice underwater, rainy day or watery footage you may want... but for deep diving, you will have to get a special case. Now, underwater footage isn't so good for VR, but is good enough in overcapture, which is what I use most of the time, lately.
5: Almost unnoticeable stitch-line! This is a HUGE issue with many VR Cameras, and I have many! not even my 6 camera VR rig compares. Now, granted, you can remove almost completely the stitch-line using special software, but when I export to the Fusion software, it is almost unnoticeable 8 out 10.
6: Faster Turn-in: ok, I know there are faster better in-camera stitching options out there, but for the price I paid, it's hard to complain. Take the footage, dump the SDs into a project folder, run fusion, tell it what to render as VR or overcapture and let it do it's thing. Photos are almost immediate. Video can take longer
7: Timelapse Multishots: so I take bursts or timelapses as photos, because it will export the best, sharpest image I want... or create a short video if you prefer. your uses may vary, but I found it helpful for my work
8: Battery Life: It may come as a surprise, but the battery actually lasts quite a bit! I bought additional batteries and the dual charger to always have it ready. Heck, there is hardly a day I don't go out without it. For work doing virtual tours for clients or just for fun, battery lasts a long time
9: Image Stability: so I made sure to rough handle it to test its limits on motion sickness, but surprisingly, it is able to keep a nice horizon very nicely! Granted, there is a bit of shakiness still, but the stitch is also almost impossible to find even with the vibration of the drone, car, bike or jog. I'm still going to buy a sizable gimbal for overcapture footage, exclusively for this camera, but even with the selfie stick, I'm pleased so far.
10: you can use the GoPro remotes independently or alongside other gopros, even if they aren't a fusion! It just works far better than expected!
Now, there are a few things that I sort of don't like, but not a huge deal
1: two microSD cards: ok, so I don't hate it, but having to have 2 cards all the time, and having to export both cards for each project is truly a little annoying and can be time consuming if it's 64 or 128GB per card that you are transferring out. But knowing how long it takes, makes it easier to set a timeframe for clients.
2: stitching on the phone isn't quite as good as on the app itself. so it's good enough for personal facebook, but definitely not for delivering to clients. but when I do it for clients, I prefer doing it with the higher quality anyway, so RAW on photos and 4k ~ 5.2k on VR video or up to 3k on 2D video.
3: app can be annoying to work at times. so it's not as bad as it once was, but it's definitely not as good as I'd like for it to be. But it gets the job done, even if it requires a few extra steps... for easy sessions I just use the gopro remote and I'm golden.
4: No bracketing. If you aren't sure what that means, basically the ability to take underexposed, normal and overexposed photos at the same time, ranging from 1, 3, 5, 7 ~ levels. While you cannot do it in one shot, you can simulate it, but of course takes extra time. The benefit of this shines in RAW, because you can take really underexposed photos for better detail on bright windows, and overexposed photos to bring up the details in shadows. Combine all that in photoshop or other favorite software and voila!
5: Finding the software on the GoPro site is extremely difficult and it's probably easier if you just google it, since it's pretty much hidden away on their website to promote their newer cameras... But it's still there... just harder to find...
6: i cannot find anything else to complain about... the minor issues are just that: minor! All my other VR Cameras are now mostly for decoration in my office, except those for underwater
I honestly didn't see anything that wowed me from the MAX, so the fusion is just as good if not better, with the only issue of lacking a built-in screen and needing 2 microSDs instead of 1.... but for the amount of footage I shoot in a day, I'd still be carrying 4 cards, anyway, so yeah....
Anyway, I hope this review was helpful.
Pros
- Cheap
- Waterproof
- Takes fantastic photographs and video
- Nice design
- Extremely easy to use
Cons
- A couple of missing features that bug me personally on the mobile app
- The fact that the GoPro mobile app has more footage editing features than the desktop app is bewildering
- The desktop app is bare bones
- Even on a fast computer, without a beefy GPU to use the hardware acceleration it will take a long time to render. Like 1 minute to render 1 second.
Before I move on, you *will* need two MicroSD cards to shove into this camera. I recommend at least 64gb, since the files can get quite large. Both MicroSD cards will contain the video/pictures from a single individual camera *but* on both cards, neither card will have a stitched-together version of any videos/pictures that it generates. The GoPro Fusion requires you either use a stitching program *or* you use the GoPro Fusion Studio. I'll go over the base apps later on.
So, the setup is... standard. Charge it up, and it can start taking 360 Video and Pictures. The Camera Tripod it comes with is nice, but its really short (2 feet is good enough if you put it on a table). It'll work fantastic as a selfie stick, or a table-mount, but you'll want to purchase a nice 4-6 foot Tripod with a GoPro Screw mount if you expect you're going to place it on the ground. It also comes with a curved and straight 3M Mount if you want to put it on a dashboard or a helmet. These 3M Sticky mounts are cool, but are permanent. If you're always going to mount your 360 Camera on the surface, its worth it. Otherwise, if you're doing something like 360 Footage from a vehicle, I highly recommend getting a Suction Cup mount.
Now, I'm going to go over the Base GoPro App. It connects, about 6 out of 10 times, and when it does connect, you'll have about 120 seconds before the GoPro App freezes its picture. After 3 reconnections, the GoPro Fusion will refuse 100% of connections, even if video is currently recording. Bottom line, the GoPro App is made for setup, but not for monitoring. The stitching on the App is bock standard, and the only thing you can do with Stitched Pictures/Video is post to Facebook. You can't even download the Stitched Pictures/Video to your local device on Android to use in other apps, which is annoying.
Switching to the PC GoPro Fusion Studio, I can tell you, this app needs to be fixed up quite a bit. It can stitch, but that's all you're going to do. The GoPro Fusion has a *very* terrible time trying to determine an actual stable horizon, making videos crooked once uploaded. If you need to fix Horizon line, I would suggest pulling in the Stitched Picture/Video into your favorite 3D Picture/Video Editor (I use Adobe Premiere CC) to adjust the horizon. The base app sucks at helping you fix the horizon line, as its built for a 2D Image with 3D Purposes. There's no trick to it, its just the GoPro Fusion doesn't record the level point, or the GoPro Fusion App doesn't read level horizon properly. However, despite all of this, I can tell you that, it can keep the *same* horizon line in the App for a video for the entire video (if you enable Full Stabilization), which means you don't have to worry about choosing the manual horizon line.
Picture and Video quality is slightly lacking on this iteration. A 5.2k image *sounds* cool as a statistic, but, in practice, not so much. Remember, this image is stretched around a 360 image, which means that your pixels are about 2.8x the size of a normal 5.2k image. If you're in anything lower than outside sunlight, forget it. The ISO sensor they put in these GoPros is horrendous. Will it take a video/picture? Sure. However, be prepared for some pretty bad low ISO static all over your image. If you can't get a good image at 1600 ISO, I would recommend just putting the Fusion away because maximum ISO is *very* bad.
I think its a good "360 maker's" first 360 Camera, but not much more than that. If you're considering any kind of hobby into 360 Photography, I would suggest something a little higher resolution, and with a better ISO sensor.
Top reviews from other countries
Lo hemos usado en varios proyectos y es maravilloso el producto. La calidad muy buena. Trabajamos para Shutterstock y se han vendido muy bien las fotos en 360 grados. En fotos no tarda nada el render.
Los time lapses los hace maravillosos.
La compramos para un proyecto y estuvimos buscando calidad, hay cámaras mucho más baratas pero la salida final no era buena. Con esta cámara definitivamente tienes calidad.
La postproducción debe ser en premiere, final o after y en este último (que definitivamente es mejor para manipular el 360 grados debe ser el más actual porque si es 2015 se ven unos puntos blancos)
Si solo la vas a usar para lentes de realidad virtual no necesitas postproducción. Sólo el render que tarda horas
Un firmware 2.0 beta est dispo chez GoPro pour enregistrer en 5.6k.
l'encodage en 5.xk dans GoPro studio n'est possible qu'avec les codecs cineform et prores.
cineform est compressé, prores fait des fichiers gigantesques.
sauf que cineform est très mal géré, et fait exploser la mémoire lors d'encodage de vidéos longues. contournable en allouant un pagefile.sys gigantesque. Préférez prores et ses gros fichiers si vous avez de la place...
le résultat final est bluffant, l'utilisation avec la perche télescopique rend vraiment super bien, les vidéos 360 immersives sont super sympas, surtout au casque VR (même avec un PS VR faiblard).
Facile da usare e qualità incredibile! Usata sciando e la stabilizzazione è incredibile, è anche caduta e non è successo niente.
Buon prodotto per video diversi dagli altri!
Basic flow is record => stitch on PC (this is not a camera for mobile phone) => export 5.2k for editing => open Premiere Pro, use VR plugin to frame shots using keyframes and viola.
You will need at least GTX 1080 / i7 9700k (I have water cooled i9 9900k with all limits turned off (those gives boost up to 60% in AE / PP)) as it will use ~ 80% of GPU / 98% CPU.
Definitely not a technology for laptops (TDP is killing even gaming laptops with i9, as it will horribly throttle with some of instructions (actual Wattage use only by my CPU is getting up to 280W, therefore you need to have a very good water cooling system)).
1 minute of 4k PP material takes up to 2-3 minutes, on some weaker machines (not mentioning laptops) it will take up to an hour !!!
You need fast, water cooled CPU with all thermal limits off (so you also need a good motherboard which allows to turned off all limits, has great voltage section), at least 8 cores @ 5GHz, 32GB DDR4 is minimum, and minimum GTX 1080 (better 2080 or Titanium).
Otherwise you won't be able to use it, unless you're willing to wait a day for rendering 30 minutes 4k output framed from 360 video.
Of course you can also use it only for 360, but it seems like a waste of technology.
