This is my third 360 degree camera, first I had the Samsung golf ball and earlier this year the Nikon Keymission 360.They both worked and unlike Fusion produced stitched video files with that work being carried out in the camera.However, viewing the output of one of their videos on a 4K TV made them look pretty crappy (okay on a tablet or smartphone). This is of course because there is not enough data being recorded so just an area of the image can be viewed in 4K. Thus fusion records the video files at an even higher resolution.Thus it uses/needs two Micro SD cards and the stitching of the two camera images has to be done in your smartphone or powerful desktop computer.I will say now that nota single one of my Android devices works with Fusion so firmware updates and even setting the date and time and other options all has to be done by the small screen on the camera and the classic GoPro up/down select menu system (very similar to that used on their pre touch screen models).Full quality 360 video files are also very large and a produced 5 minute video can be over 20Gb in size ready to upload to for example YouTube. I have to leave my computer on overnight to produce one.Some YouTube users host the raw fusion files so you can download them and see how well your hardware produces them to check the time taken and see if you like the results.The small planet videos take a lot less time and perhaps are more interesting to watch and play on a wider range of devices.Taking videos.The provided tripod is not very good and my one lets the camera rattle as the joints don't lock solidly and always fit the protective cover on the camera when not in use to protect the lenses from damage.Voice command works well but I have found trying to hold the camera out in front of you and keeping level to the horizon can be tricky.The horizon can be corrected in the software but that's more work.Also, as the video processing takes hours it is best to copy the contents of both MicroSD cards to your computer (SSD if possible) under a folder. Just then point the app at that folder and it will read the files from the sub folders and thus no need for the camera to be on.So yes it works and does produce the best quality 4K 360 degree videos I have seen but it definitely is not for everyone.It would be at least nice if the Android app could at least control the camera and perhaps a few other basic tasks but it just says "tough luck".The GoPro website has a list of the few Android devices that it does work with.Thus when I use my one out and about I can't check anything it has recorded until I get home.

360 is just a part of a video, as using After Effects / Premiere Pro you can create extremely innovative videos, as 360 gives you an opportunity to frame you shot however you want.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.

The big let down of almost all 360 cameras I’ve used has been the user interface or the image stitching. Took the GoPro fusion to the climbing centre last night and the results are impressive. The camera produces great quality high resolution images and the user interface on the GoPro app allows you to make great photos in seconds. Videos are not as convinient to do. But that’s the nature of 5K resolution unfortunately.It’s a well built, well presented camera that produces high quality imagery. The downside is it being nearly £700.If you’re not planning on utilising the spherical shots all the time, the app does allow you to easily crop a retangular image from the larger image.This does increase the versatility of the camera. Without this, the camera would be a very expensive and somewhat impractical gadget.

This GoPro is incredible, the footage you can shoot and it’s 360 camera is amazing. I have taken some brilliant photos and videos from my recent holiday and it’s nice to be able to move your phone or iPad or even laptop to show family and friends all angles. Definitely worth investing

Absolute beast. If you are a vlogger. Know that your content is gonna sky rocket off the roof!! Amazing purchase. Super happy. Only tiny downside is time to stitch footage. But thats gonna happen with any 5.2K 360 footage.

Great piece of kit. Just make sure you have a good video graphics card that meets GoPro fusions requirement. I had to upgrade my old card and the videos rendered without issues:

Arrived very well packed. As described. Need to test properly tomorrow but looks in very good condition.

the software does crash a bit in post production but this has the makings of a great 360 camera.

The camera literally matches all of the reviews on YouTube.
