Giroptic 360cam vs 360Fly 4K

The camera has a curved LED screen with two buttons - one on each side. These allow for basic functions (such as switching between various modes, starting or stopping an action or turning the device on or off) to be carried out. More complex configuration can be done via the companion application.

It is possible to view images and videos via Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.

360cam has native apps both for Android and iOS mobile devices.

Images and videos can be sent instantly to desktop or mobile devices as well as cloud storage over WiFi.

GPS can be used to geotag photos. Geotagging is compatible with Google PhotoSphere and these images can then be added to Google's Street View.

The camera has 3 built-in microphones for capturing surround sound audio.

There is no need to use an extra tool (such as a desktop app or a cloud service) to stitch the image together as it is done entirely in-camera.

360cam is IPX8 certified, meaning that it can be safely submerged and used underwater at depths of up to 10 meters. Additionally, an Underwater Lens Cups accessory can be purchased to allow for filming underwater without water distortion.

A Light Bulb Adaptor accessory can be purchased, allowing the camera to be screwed into a light bulb socket where it can charge and be used as a home security camera. This is done by streaming a live feed to a mobile or tablet device or cloud video surveillance service.

As it uses the universal mounting system, 360cam can be used with a large selection of mounts.

Furthermore, there are optional accessories that can be purchased, such as Light Bulb Adaptor (which allows for the camera to be used as a home security device), Underwater Lens Cups (which permits filming underwater without water distortion), and POE Video Streaming Base (which provides Ethernet connectivity).

The camera uses a gyroscope and an accelerometer for image stabilization.

Burst picture mode allows for photos to be taken at a set interval. The camera will utilize much less battery when in this mode: it can take photos for a period of up to 24 hours if set to take a picture every minute.

360cam can directly upload footage to YouTube. The camera is also natively supported by YouTube, meaning that it is possible to completely navigate videos taken with the 360cam, both on the web and when using a mobile app.

The camera has three 185-degree fish-eye lenses that it uses to capture 1080p videos and 8MP photos. It captures 300 degrees vertically.

360cam is capable of streaming videos to a mobile or tablet device or a cloud-based video streaming service over WiFi. A POE Video Streaming Base accessory can be bought optionally, so to provide Ethernet connectivity.

Giroptic 360cam supports HDR, meaning that the user can capture and recreate scenes just as they appear before his/her eyes.

Giroptic 360cam offers MicroSD storage of up to 64 GB.

Since there's only one lens which captures with a 360x240 degrees field of view, there's no stitching being done.

360Fly is dust-resistant (IP6X certified), water-resistant up to 50 meters, and shock-resistant up to 1.5M. The exterior is also rubberized to make it harder for it to split when handled with wet hands.

This makes it a great device for recording extreme sports or general outdoor recording.

After shooting a clip and before sharing it, the app will let you choose which sections of a video to include in the final shared version, add music and even adjust the playback speed of your video or parts of it.

The 360Fly 4K can be combined with another camera so to shoot completely spherical, immersive videos.

When the camera is turned on, so is the camera's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth which are used to connect to a mobile phone that has the camera's app installed. Once that's done you can then change the app's settings and have a live view of what the camera is capturing straight from the app.
