360Buy CameraInsta360 Pro 2Pilot OneRicoh Theta Z1

Choice of 360 camera for less than 1000$11582

crocis private msg quote post Address this user
Hi All,
I am interested in buying a “cheap” 360 camera that costs less than 1000 $. I am looking for a camera especially to capture videos and view them with an head-mounted display. I have found two interesting cameras: Qoocam 8K and GoPro Max. Considering the video resolution, I would go for Qoocam 8K since GoPro Max is 5.6K, but I have read that Qoocam 8K suffers from overheating that can affect the video quality, and the audio quality is bad.
Is the video quality between these two camera much different? which camera do you recommend me? are there other cameras I should consider?
Regards,
Simone

For good video at a good price point, I would recomend Insta360 One X.

@crocis

Thank you for joining the WGAN Forum and your post ...

If you could tell us your use-case for the 360 video, that might help with recommendations.

Here is some video that I shot with the Labpano Pilot One (mentioned by @Kumar).

I did have some challenges with the internal mic related to wind (outdoors). I could imagine that this might solve that challenge:

P.S. Sorted by price ...

This is such a hard decision as it seems a new camera is coming out each month. I ordered the one x and the theta z and tried them out. Each had areas I didn't like. I returned both via Ammazon. That said, I'm comparing them to mp 2 which doesn't make it quite a fair comparison. You might want to start out with either one of the cameras mentioned above if you can find them. Labpano looks awesome but the price tag is a bit steep. I would like to see more real life testing of it.

I've been following Ben Claremont and he is now stating the Qoocam 8k is the best 360 camera under $1000 and it now exceeds the quality of the Theta Z1. But, I can't find anyone that is using one for pro tours to get some feedback. I couldn't find a Pilot One anywhere, the Z1 is out everywhere. I had a Insta360 OneX and it did pretty good, but I sold it without doing any tours with it.
