Sample user videos from GoPro Fusion


GoPro has posted sample 360 videos from their Fusion camera but now there are sample videos from press who got to try out the Fusion.

Here are videos posted by Raymond Wong.  It's a playlist so you can select the video you want to see.



Some observations:

Stitching is generally excellent.  Subjects passed over the stitch line in several videos without a noticeable stitching even though they were somewhat close.

Stabilization looks very effective and I didn't see any blur that you sometimes see from gyro-based stabilization.  I'm wondering if the videos were using software stabilization from Kolor Autopano Video (Kolor is now owned by GoPro).

The video quality itself was sometimes not as detailed as I would have expected from a 5.2K video.  At times, it seemed to be less detailed than the video from the Xiaomi Mi Sphere.

The GoPro Fusion looks interesting and I will definitely be on the lookout for more information about it.

Garmin Virb 360 vs. Xiaomi Mijia MI SPHERE - which is the best 360 camera for low light?

Image
I compared two of the best 360 cameras for consumers right now: Garmin Virb 360 and Xiaomi Mijia Mi Sphere for low light performance in typical indoor lighting conditions.  Here's the video: Both cameras did very well in this low light test.  As for which one is better, here are my thoughts: Without editing, the Garmin Virb 360 looks underexposed compared to the Xiaomi.  In Premiere, I added +1.0EV exposure, which made the Garmin exposure look more similar to that of the Xiaomi. Remarkably, the Virb video held up to the adjustment and did not show any noticeable increase noise. With the adjustment, the Virb and Xiaomi look very similar, but the Virb video is actually more detailed.  Here are closeup cropped portions of each video: Nonetheless, there is a huge $500+ difference between these two cameras, so you might say they are both winners in their own way.  In terms of absolute image quality, the Virb 360 edged out the Xiaomi, but the Xiaomi is so much mo...
