Typhoon & Samsung Gear 360 - The future perhaps?

[CAPTAINDRONE]

There has been talk over the past year of the 360 virtual reality cameras becoming the next big thing. Samsung has a great one and some have attached it to the Typhoon H for a full user 360 view.

The combined picture looks like a Cinerama film like How the West was Won.

I really hope they're able to increase resolution in future releases, there's no way I would trade a crystal clear CGO3+ image for this even if it is cool.

I own the Gear 360 and the actual output is better than Youtube or Facebook renders it, but its still not as good as 4K video.

Here is a blog post of how to mount one under the Typhoon H using a CG02 mounting plater so you have the rubber dampers to smooth our vibrations. 360 Rumors: Using a 360-degree camera with Yuneec drones

Having used it for a while though you miss the whole art of making a video that draws the audiences attention to a specific thing so while it is probably going to be used more widely and who knows DJI or Yuneec may build it in to their products in the future I hope editing software will allow you to still create a conventional video from the 360 file.

The output is actually pretty clear, but not when aboard a vibrating platform (i.e. drone). There are several videos on YouTube taken in a fixed position and it looks pretty good but not 4k good.

I have the gear 360 and thought I'd mount it via a 4 ft rope to possibly cut down on vibrations.

this is how I use it on my Q500... replaced the CGO2 with it... always fly line of site so it's ok... RTH still works as a failsafe...
