New Garmin Virb 360 Sample Shows Unique Stabilization Mode

DCRainmaker posted a novel sample from the Garmin Virb 360, this fourth dimension highlighting 1 of the Virb's stabilization modes, called "Follow" which is smart plenty to keep a sentiment toward the management of movement, an incredibly useful feature.
Here is the video:

To sympathise Virb's follow stabilization, allow me contrast that amongst the conventional icon stabilization inwards the Insta360 Nano, Insta360 Air together with Xiaomi Mi Sphere: on these 3 cameras, when the photographic telly camera is stabilized, together with then it volition stand upward for that sentiment regardless of where the photographic telly camera is turned. This is first-class for providing maximum stability.

But what if yous are moving together with yous desire the photographic telly camera to proceed facing the management where you're moving? On the Nano, Air together with Mi Sphere, the app itself won't endure able to adapt the view. It is possible to piece of job software to re-set the heading every fourth dimension I modify my direction, but it's deadening together with won't hold off natural.

The Virb's follow agency is unique inwards that the heading tin flaming lock onto the management of displace instead of a static management (it tin flaming practise that also inwards unopen to other stabilization mode). While locked to that direction, the viewer is yet gratuitous to 'look around' the 360 video.

The video also demonstrates the Virb's remarkable stitching. Ray rode his wheel along busy streets amongst many buildings. Normally, buildings are a real unforgiving plain of report that tin flaming expose stitching errors easily. Here's how the buildings typically looked similar along the ride. The run upward line, inwards illustration you're wondering is diagonal (around 45 degrees from upper right to lower left).

Were it non for the sun's glare, I mean value the run upward trouble would convey been undetectable! Moreover, yous tin flaming come across that the stitching is smoothen from all the agency at the transcend of the edifice to the car parked on the curb, showing seamless stitching over a broad arrive at of distances (from most to far).

Here's unopen to other scene, also amongst a diagonal run upward line.

Having said that, at that topographic point was a visible warping right at the run upward line, visible inwards unopen to of the scenes:

But to me, it did non hold off also distracting because the overall geometry was correct. For example, inwards the sample yous tin flaming come across that the angle of the gutter was perfectly aligned on both lenses.

BTW Ray said that the video hither was stitched in-camera together with and then stabilization together with the G-Metrix overlay was later on added amongst Virb Edit.

I'm real much looking frontward to the Virb, Guru 360 gimbal or Feiyu G360 gimbal.
