![]() One small downside compared to others, though, is that for recording underwater, you’ll need to purchase a waterproof case. The XR also includes the same standard stitching functions as its competitors with its mobile app, along with all the expected effects and functions for tilting, filtering, and live-streaming as the rest. The XR also offers its unique lenses, which are both 210-degree f/2.4 fisheye lenses, but with one designed for 3D VR video at 180-degrees, with the other covering 2D 360-degree. However, with the XR recording H.264 MP4 video at 30fps, and 4K at up to 60fps with its two Sony twelve megapixel CMOS sensors and an Ambarella H2 video processor, this might be the best video-focused option for 360 and VR from specs alone. With similar 360 video recording specs to the Insta360 ONE X, the Vuze XR is another option that can record 5.7K at up to 30fps, while staying at the same $400 price point as the others on our list. Support for Bullet Time/GPS accessories. ![]() Cinematic slow-mo, hyperlapse, and editing.Social media/live-stream sharing via app.Although, with its high recording rate and sixty-minute battery life for shooting strictly video, it can easily serve as a solid hybrid for your 360 video needs. This might be one of the best options though, or for those looking for more bells and whistles for 360-degree images and effects. You also get plenty of neat effects like Insta360’s “bullet time” time freeze feature, as well as some other stats monitored by its built-in GPS, for things like altitude and speed. The ONE X offers some solid digital image stabilization to help you really treat it as a run-and-gun, 360-degree recorder for everything from mountain hikes to longboard rides. The ONE X, like the other options on our list, handles all the stitching for you with its iOS and Android app, which can double as a digital remote and is also Wi-Fi enabled. Moving up a notch from the Ricoh THETA V and the GoPro MAX in terms of recording resolution at least (but perhaps as a downgrade in other areas), the Insta360 ONE X does offer recording at up to an insane 5.7K resolution at 30 fps with its two 200-degree lenses. ![]() Plus, the MAX can be voice-operated for ultimate ease of use. You can also do all the other familiar GoPro things like live-stream, record underwater, and record solid and immersive 360-degree audio. The MAX also offers different lens sizes to help with various shots and locations, ranging from a narrow to a MAX SuperView. The GoPro MAX also includes plenty of creative modes for working with panoramic photos, time warp, and other variable speed functions. This 360-degree action cam packs all the familiar GoPro rough-and-tumble design perks, with some gaudy recording resolution numbers that push up to 4992 x 2496 and into 5K for photos. Moving on from the Ricoh THETA V, we have another legacy brand with one of their latest and best 360 options with the GoPro MAX. So, be sure to do your research and pick the right one for you. It’s also currently one of the cheapest available, although the majority of these options are all around the $400 range. Like many options on this list, this is truly a one-stop-shop for 360-degree video that you can record run-and-gun for a beautiful VR experience. The video captures footage in 4K for a beautiful 360-degree recording that also includes 3D 360-degree spatial audio recorded with its built-in 4-channel microphone. The THETA V utilizes dual twelve megapixel sensors and a twin-lens optical system for capturing and stitching together comprehensive 360-degree photo and videos. ![]() One of the best options currently on the market is the Ricoh THETA V, which represents years of upgrades over previous Theta models. And, make no mistake, they’re getting very good at what they do. While the 360 and VR camera market might not feature all the same familiar names as your regular digital camera brands-like Canon and Sony-there are some manufacturers who have been working in this arena for quite some time, like Ricoh, GoPro, Vuze, etc.
