Great to see you guys working together again and stoked to hear the word on the best three 360 cameras for virtual tours. I bought the Z1 for the same reasons you concluded in the video and watch and wait for new updates to the Qcam, as it has much better video potential. The XPhase has hardware as well as software issues, so maybe we will need to wait for a 3rd iteration until it has the reliability for working virtual tours? Thanks for the super video👍

Nice video guys! I agree. I own all these cameras and have quite some experience with them already. For outdoor shots i prefer the xphase. For indoor shots i use the Z1 and qoocam 8K. I slightly prefer the Z1 over the qoocam if DNG-8 and HDR-bracketing is used. But mostly i combine multiple Z1 exposure shots with luminosity masking in Photoshop. I love this workflow. Looks more natural than HDR to me.

Ben, your videos are great! Starting my virtual tour business, and considering which camera to buy. The Theta looked great, and I know you love that one. Even with this rough performance of the XPhase here, I’ve been considering getting an XPhase Pro S2 (because of the clarity) but I only see one place online to buy them and info on it is not very available. I’m hoping to build to doing high end properties. Any advice on which 360 camera for this application? Is there any explanation for the XPhase products being so unavailable online?

AWESOME We have used Theta S, Gear 360 (1st edition), GoPro Fusion, Insta360 OneX and recently we got our hand on the Theta Z1 which hands down is superior to all the others. Not only when it comes to image quality, but the easy workflow. Where most of the other companies have propriety solutions (You need to use their charger or cables), Ricoh just works. We also use Kuula as our 360 CMS and couldn't be happier. Cheers!

One X great for keeping the camera safe in challenging conditions with dive case or venture case, Yet to take Qoocam in field but looks great on video and from your shots awesome on photos, XPhase is simply amazing for what it can produce in consistent light, incredible detail. Still a bit harder to use but improving each week.

I have to agree that for going out and shooting right now, the Theta Z1 is the best choice in regards to workflow and knowing what you are going to get with every shot.

Is this something you have encountered while using the QooCam¿ I'm wondering if it's a fault with the camera I have received or if this is a common issue¿

It is in Beta at the moment which they don't highlight when you purchase. (I'm sure we could potentially get some kind of refund from that as it's not what they advertise). The shots I took are filled with noise however I just heard the guys say take 3 shots in the same place, that makes sense. I have Affinity not ps so will have to learn and quick. I have also bought Virtual tour pro, and I cant say enough good things about it so far, it will save you months if you are new to it all.

With the xphase. You have pushed to low with -2ev and handheld setting on a tripod and not 6hdr???? What where you thinking? On this I would use manual mode with a light meter. 6shot HDR stitch to dng. Bring your highlights down and your shadow up. You will achieve a much better result

@BenClaremont 4 жыл бұрын

Actually he did shoot in 3 stop and 6 stop HDR, maybe I didn’t make that clear enough. And yes maybe he exposed it a little too dark. However I think the point is that XPhase does not have good shadow recovery like the Z1 and Qoocam, and that in high contrast scenes like this, it’s going to be a trade off for which areas of the scene are under/over exposed. Also the amount of color correction required is far greater with XPhase than the others, and that becomes unworkable when you’re dealing with 100s of shots and may not have taken the exact perfect exposure when shooting.

Very interesting video. I'm wondering why you don't talk about the following: Those three chains on the right side of the windows: One X: you can clearly distinguish the red, yellow, and blue. With the XPhase, it's OK but too dark (maybe because of the more dark bracketing). Z1: Amazing colors, even (if not especially) with inbuild HDR. Qoocam: It's red, yellow and ... BLACK. This is not even dark blue, it's black. For me, this is a no-go for the Qoocam. My winner in this szenario: Z1. Ben, Mic, what do you think about those colors?

Thanks Rick- Z1 has a larger sensor, but still I gave it to Qoocam due to better image quality. Software, firmware etc is still a work in progress which is why I can’t give it my 100% recommendation until the workflow becomes easier (which it should in the next 1-2 months)

Hi Linda, for super high resolution the XPhase would be the best option.. but the workflow can be a bit tedious

Aloha Ben. Have you tried the updated dual fisheye plugin for any HDR photos on the Z1?

Quick question, what is best camera for 180 video and pictures, but is not 3d. Thanks again for another great video.

@BenClaremont 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Richard, all 180 cameras are 3D as the lenses are placed eye width apart which creates the 3D effect. But you don’t have to display them as 3D.

Nice work Ben and Michael. I'd be interested how close the the Ricoh Theta SC2 would be to the Theta Z1. Anything sub $1000 (Australian) would be a bonus. I have my reservations about the Kandao because of how badly received it's been with people using it and reviewing it. The software seems badly unsupported from what I've heard about, but I understand it's super early days. I love that it has a bigger screen on it though and was on my list of "Possible purchases" until I watched a few KZfaq reviews.

Thanks- yeah people are reviewing it slightly too early I think. And the SC2 won’t be anywhere near the level of Z1, but maybe 50% there :)

@@BenClaremont When I typed my comment I forgot that there were so many differences between the SC2 and the Z1. Better to learn from mistakes, it'll make my knowledge better. :) Thanks for taking the time to respond to questions Ben, your channel is a fantastic resource for people to learn about capturing 360 footage. Cheers!

Try the Z1 with the duel fisheye plugin.

Looking forward to that Ben. Even with the high regard you hold for the Z1, you're going to be blown away :-)

Thanks Ben and Michael for putting this video together. I've been debating for months as to which camera to upgrade too. I already own the One X and was leaning towards the XPhase but after seeing video comparison, It now a toss up between Z1 and Qoocam. You both definitely definitely hit the nail on the head when you said the Z1 is a "Established camera" and ready to go while others are somewhat beta mode with all the ongoing updates. While this video helped me ruled out the XPhase, its now a toss up between the Z1 and Qoocam for me. No decision yet but I'm leaning towards the Qoocam only because it can do Video as well. Having the ability to shoot a 360 video and Photo is a plus where as the Z1 can only take photos... Unless Z1 has a big brother coming out?!?. Michael, do you know anything? Any Rumors from Ricoh? Thanks guys! looking forward in seeing more videos from you both!

Has anyone seen or had issues/complaints with stitching lines (photo) with the Insta360 One R? (With the thickness of the body) - I have the One X now and want to buy another but nothing is available! Is this a supply issue? Does anyone have a resource for buying the One X? Thanks!
