Cool stuff someone else just bought that I'll be using:

A small update. All freight information has been sent to Hammond Engineering. He said that he had a personal issue that has put him back 24 hours, and that he'll forward some pictures soon. I'll post them as soon as they are received. Brad

I've definitely got to spend some time working out how to edit the video once it's captured. For some things the 360 allowing user interaction is great, but for most of what I'm hoping to use it for a 2D 16:9 video would be more appropriate. On the cars the 360 wouldn't be too bad as the "home" view would be set much like a regular GoPro, but would allow following of the scenery or other cars/views/angles etc as they interest the viewer, but a simple video with some direction would be the more usual. I know from watching 360/3D videos myself, I end up turning the cam all over the place, losing interest in whatever the person filming is trying to show and not bothering to watch it much longer of it.

that's so cool. I liked your earlier 360 video too. I'd show the wife but she'd spend the entire drive watching your dog. I like 360 video. A gear reviewer on YouTube took a 360 cam to NAMM (National Association of Music Manufacturers) a while back. He was walking around the convention centre with the camera on a stick and viewers could swing around to look at the guitars and stuff that they wanted to. I used the wifie's Samsung VR to watch it and it was almost like looking around myself

very nice and a not common colour

That ending though.....do NOT google and find out!! Just watch it...

I agree in the most part - the 360 spherical is pretty gimmicky As mentioned above - it's the turning it into 2d video withe the ability to frame it from the 360 FOV that got me interested. No need to worry which way the camera is pointing - worry about all that later. The stability in the video is bloody unbelievable (check out when I go over the speed bumps in the car park below) Looking forward greatly to trying it on the drone - no need to worry about lining up the shots and fly at the same time - the camera picks everything up. 1st go at editing below - maybe spent a couple of minutes editing on my phone - didn't review it, so errors are all beginner ones. turn down the volume (I need a sock for the mic or music to add) I "forgot" to recenter the video after I got it to track the police cars and buildings - still have original footage, so can go back and re-do any bits later if CBF'd

Just got an "Insta360 One X" camera to complement the drone and the GoPro's Quick vid to give me the idea of what's possible (spin the vid round for a guest appearance from the dog) Need to put the cam on a pole next time and try different mounting points - should end up very effective on our cruises. Looking forward to mounting it on the drone and worrying about framing shots etc in post. Need to learn how to edit the vids into a linear shot (not 360), with me choosing the best angle next.
