Record 360 degree videos - how it works
For some time now, YouTube has allowed you to upload 360-degree videos. In this practical tip, we explain how you can record such a video and what equipment you need for it.
Special camera - record 360 degree videos
The easiest way to record 360-degree videos is with a special camera.
- A rather small selection of 360-degree cameras is currently available. So far only the Ricoh Theta M15 is available in Germany. We have a detailed camera test.
- Just hold the camera in your hand and start filming. You can then watch the videos in a special program on your computer - or you can upload the videos directly to YouTube to watch them there.
Multiple cameras - record 360 degree video
Special housings, in which several cameras are inserted, represent an alternative to the 360-degree camera.
- The Freedom360 bundle is one of these cases. In this you have to insert 6 GoPro cameras.
- With a price of currently € 429.00 and the costs for the 6 cameras, this method is extremely expensive.
