I got a new toy yesterday for taking 360 degree videos - just uploaded one to YouTube - not all browsers support it (Chrome does) - and I made a mistake that the camera was 'facing' the wrong way so you need to pan around to look forward.

Is going to be epic for track days!

Great video, have you got a sports exhaust on that it sound lovely and I can see why people rave about the suspension, its just so smooth.

The camera is Ricoh Theta S - see https://theta360.com/uk/about/theta/s.html I did get mine from Amazon but plenty of places seem to be stocking it.

I suspect we will see lots more of these videos (I am by no means any expert!) - expect to see Shmee and others using them.

@karting kid - yes it has sports exhaust, and that was me only going very softly, don't think I went above 5k revs

That's very clever! Surely it's the future of YouTube.....kids in a few years will complain when things aren't 360 deg!

That's fantastic. How cool would that be on race cars streaming live footage, you could decide your own coverage of the race.
