News

VRDL360, a new 360-degree camera offering 7K photo and 3K video resolution, has just launched on Indiegogo with an early bird price tag of just $99.

The VRDL360 camera is smaller than a smartphone and looks to be about the same size and shape as the Ricoh Theta 360. It boasts dual 4K f/2.0 lenses and two 16-megapixel Sony sensors to produce 32-megapixel images.

The VRDL360 camera can also live stream directly to Youtube and Facebook, and you can also instantly share your footage on social media.

The VRDL360 can also shoot from ISO 100 all the way up to ISO 1600.

The VRDL360 camera is operated via a companion app that allows you some control over the type of panoramic image you shoot – eg Fisheye or Little Planet.

Other features include support for microSD cards up to 128GB and a battery that charges in two hours and can record up to two hours of video or 1,000 still images on that single charge.

The VRDL360 price tag is $99 on Indiegogo, but this early bird pricing only has six more units available at the time of writing. Its normal retail price will be $219.

TheVRDL360 release date is scheduled for September 2017 when first units start shipping.
