360 Video for Motorsport

[Thurbs]

I want to create some 360 VR for a more immersive experience next year and spice up the videos I have been creating...

I have got better as the year has gone on at editing, but still feel limited by the cameras I have.

I checked the WIKI and did a search but couldn’t find a thread discussing how to…

Annoyingly half way through the year the MSA decided suction mounts with a secondary attachment were no longer acceptable so some are just a single camera... anyway I digress…

Is there a better way of doing the 360 thing other than this?

I have 3x GoPro Hero4 at the moment so am half way there.

Kodak have a couple of 360 deg cameras that don't need the footage splicing together.

Not sure how good they are with mounts and attachments though.

I watched most of the recent Rockingham video, nice driving, need to figure out that braking point for the end of the straight, felt like playing forza and trying to brake harder

I use LG 360 a lot for photos, it's very easy to use!

If you want better quality and are happy to pay for it!

Thanks for the replies, I think I am going to go with the Nikon KeyMission 360 as suggested earlier. Looks really good and not too expensive.

Would have been great for Saturday's race...

They tested these on the Gadget Show recently. You might be able to watch the episode on catchup - I'm not a regular viewer so don't know.

They were tested in World Rallycross races where they really struggled. A very tough test though, primarily because of the huge vibrations and being mounted inside the car causing contract issues.

I have the Ricoh Theta S, and put it on my racing car at the beginning of this season at Donington. It didn't work very well, as the camera got confused about the orientation, so the video moves around a bit and spoils it. Doing it with 6 Go Pro's would be better, and give great quality. Here's the footage I got (only supported in some browsers on You Tube)

A fellow 750mc competitor I see...

Thanks for the video. I agree this isn't what I am after and spoils the whole thing. I wonder with the Nikon you can lock the orientation...?

6 GoPro's is working out at £2k+ given I only have 3 cameras at the moment so only want to spend that kind of money if there is no other option.
