Kandao Stuffs 8 APS-C Sensors Into New Obsidian Pro 12K 360 Camera
With a worldwide pandemic blocking numerous from truly visiting places, you’d believe that 360 cameras would move past specialty status into the standard, as the vivid perspective can fairly make an impact of being some place face to face. While that hasn’t actually occurred, possibly catching those spaces in 12K 360 video will change that. At any rate that is the thing that Kandao is expecting its new Obsidian Pro 360 camera.
The new camera, which was declared on Thursday, April 15 by Kandao, openings over the organization’s Obsidian R 360 camera and adds a bundle more goal (12K versus 8K), yet more significantly bigger APS-C sensors across the camera’s 8 focal points. On paper, that is crazy. The past high-spec camera in this across the board 360 classification was the Insta360 Titan. I portrayed the capacities of that camera as “crazy” a few times and that was with a lot more modest Micro Four Thirds sensors and lower 11k goal on that model. While I shiver to consider the strength necessities to alter 12K 360 video (with the choice of 3D and 12-digit crude video in there too), the prospects opened up by these enormous sensors appear to be astonishing.
Furthermore, Kandao appears to have taken notes about the ease of use issues with the opposition — rather than depending on a few SD cards (and along these lines, a few potential places of disappointment), Kandao utilizes something many refer to as a 8-in-1 SSD module in 4 TB, 8TB, and 16TB designs to record video to one unit and outfits the Obsidian Pro with a LCD screen to show a review of what’s being caught. The alternative to not need an outer regulator or telephone is enormous in this classification of cameras, where WiFi associations are regularly burdensome. I particularly really like to work straight off the camera, and having the option to perceive what I’m going to shoot not too far off is a tremendous reward (one that I appreciate especially so on my present most loved shopper level camera, the Kandao QooCam 8K). There is, obviously, still an application accessible to control the camera.
At this value range, the normal highlights of a mouthpiece input, ethernet port, and adjustment (9-pivot) are for the most part present, however what’s sudden is an electronic opening and capacity to change centering distance, which given the bigger sensor, bodes well. Unquestionably, it adds more control to the last picture created by the camera. These sorts of highlights limited the hole for still pictures over a DSLR with something like a Nodal Ninja for 360s, with the special reward of video here.
Maybe part of the explanation 360 hasn’t got on due to the trouble in survey the documents. There is certifiably not a standard organization, site, or peruser that has gotten on with enough of the overall population yet. While the without a doubt enormous documents from the Obsidian Pro will not change any of that, in any event it should give clients some future-sealing for what they shoot with it.
Kandao says that evaluating will run between $24,499 to $34,999 contingent upon how much memory you purchase with it. Expensive, however when you consider that you’re basically purchasing 8 APS-C cameras and the minds to measure and join the yield from those cameras together in one bundle, it’s positively a camera that shooters with impending 360 undertakings should put on their radar.
