Can Normal Video Save 360° Cameras? Insta360 One Hands On!

360 video hasn’t really caught on like I hoped it would, and I fear it’s in danger of becoming another link in a chain of failed consumer tech, like 3D TV’s.
Oddly enough, one of the more compelling features I’ve found on a 360 camera has nothing to do with creating immersive, spherical video, but instead, delivers better tools for standard 16:9 HD video.
Could this be the killer app for 360° cameras? Have I just been doing this wrong the whole time? Why is it SO DAMN HOT IN THE VALLEY RIGHT NOW?!?!?

360VLOG: Will 360 video die like 3D TV?

In an age where consumers create their own content, the health of a new technology depends on consumers receiving tools which are easy to use and price accessible. 360 degree video has huge potential, but can it weather the transition into a more accessible platform? It’s not the easiest to work with at present. Will 360 video become the next buzz-wordy consumer tech to die like 3D TV?

360VLOG: A beautiful day in a park, and getting a new camera…

It’s a beautiful day, and I needed to get outside, get out of the studio, and see the sun. I’m about decided on what to do about my camera situation, so let’s chat about repairs and upgrades.
This video shot on the 2017 Gear 360, which failed at the end of this video. It’s still in BETA. Cut it some slack.

360VLOG: Gadget Lab 2.0 Office Tour! How I get work done!

I’ve been asked several times recently to chat about how I’ve set up my office to shoot YouTube videos. Thought this would be a fun opportunity to use the Insta360 Air again. At least the easiest way to shoot a video like this and not have to do a ton of editing… But I digress…
