#GOPRO FUSION 360 1080P#

A problem with many VR cameras is noticeable overlap, and the GoPro largely does a better job of this, although it’s still not perfect. Speaking to one of GoPro’s engineers, he told me this actually aided in more seamless stitching when it comes to putting together the images from the two sensors. Look at the camera top-down and you’ll notice they’re actually off-axis. Slightly unorthodox, the Fusion’s two lenses aren’t lined up symmetrically. Still, not every 360-degree camera is happy to end up in the wet at all. The body has a slightly rubbery coating, similar to the GoPro Hero 6 Black, but it’s only water-resistant to 5m compared to the Hero 6 Black’s 10m (without a case). It’s at least not too thick, so it’s not a major pain to throw in a backpack.

It’s decidedly large and square, when the likes of the Kodak Pixpro 4KVR360 and Nikon KeyMission 360 have a much smaller footprint. Even then, it’s still a bigger beast than many of its similarly capable rivals. That shouldn’t really come as any surprise considering it houses two wide-angle lenses in order to capture its 360-degree view of the world. The GoPro Fusion is considerably bigger than any of GoPro’s Hero cameras that have come before. However, a few niggly issues hamper the overall user experience and mean the Fusion doesn’t quite reach the heights of its GoPro Hero stablemates.

GoPro isn’t the first to offer this kind of functionality – Insta360 calls this FreeCapture – but the Fusion manages to make it a compelling feature. It also means you don’t have to worry about pointing your camera in the right direction or missing a key piece of action, as the Fusion is recording everything that’s happening around you.

Through GoPro’s clever OverCapture mode, you’re able to take your spherical video and re-record it as a standard ‘flat’ 1080p video, making your footage more easily accessible. The Fusion, however, sees the company’s first foray into 360-degree VR capture.īut it’s not necessarily the spherical video that’s the Fusion’s stand-out feature it’s what you can do with your footage even if you don’t want to plop a VR headset on or swipe and pan around a video in your browser. GoPro is already well-known for its Hero action cameras that can withstand being submerged and thrown around with reckless abandon.
