With so many factors to consider, navigating how to choose a camera for your budget and 360 video needs can be overwhelming. Full Sail grad and Cinematographer Dondi Sanchez goes through all of the options ­­­­with us— from small-scale productions to big budgets. If you’re just starting out and are interested in getting into 360 video, the Samsung Gear 360 has a 4K resolution, shoots in five different modes, is water and dust resistant, can be used to go live on social media, and is under $300. This camera also has the ability to be mounted on a drone for aerial shots. For a mid-level camera, the GoPro 360 Rise consists of 14 individual stereoscopic GoPros, each with its own eye, giving the viewer a true 3D experience. Choosing the GoPro 360 Rise means putting more work into preparing before shooting and the price, which includes cameras, rigs, and media cards, will run you around $7,000. Finally, if you’re ready to get into professional work, the Nokia Ozo is a top of the line camera which features eight lenses, global shutter, a 290-degree field of 4K shooting, live viewing while shooting, and an integrated post-production suite. This advanced option costs around $60,000 but includes the camera, software, and equipment. Follow along as we give you more tips on how make the most out of your VR storytelling.
