For sample footage please visit our samples folder on dropbox. The Oscars and Eurovision footage was shot with this camera and rig.

Native stitched output resolution is approx 3k (6k with the studio cameras), but can be pushed to 4k effectively. Coverage is fully spherical, with around 450 degrees of horizontal coverage (including overlap).

The camera’s excellent dynamic range, image quality, sensitivity and raw recording capability provide a substantial improvement over ‘action camera’ rigs.

For live use we recommend the Micro Studio Camera 4K, for its color output and locking SDI connections. For non-live use, the Micro Cinema Camera is preferred, unless the highest stitched output resolution is required. You will need external recorders for the Micro Studio Camera for non-live use, or for recording iso’s during a live event. We can provide these recorders at additional cost.

If you plan extensive post production and ‘perfect’ stitching (rotoscoping etc), we’d recommend our Mini EYE™ 4 rig which offers greater overlap between lenses. This is approximately 20% more in terms of cost.
