Wouldn't it be great if shooting 360-degree, 4K video was as simple as snapping a selfie? With the amazing Kodak Pixpro SP360 4K Action Cam, it is. Just ask enthusiasts Will, Dan and Charlie, who took it to London's coolest bars, pubs and rooftops to create these immersive tours. Armed with nothing more than the camera and a tripod, they created these fantastic 360-degree tours, so you can experience the bars from any angle yourself.
The Pixpro SP360 4K Action Cam specs are impressive - there's a 12MP, BSICMOS sensor, an f/2.8 lens, 4K recording at 30fps and up to 120fps high-speed recording in full HD - but what's really great is how easy it is to capture compelling footage. Our brave bar hoppers selected the best of the capital's pubs and rooftop bars, and the Pixpro SP360 4K Action Cam did the rest.
Action Cams have been a huge hit with sports fans and action addicts, who love the combination of great video and total portability - and the Pixpro SP360 4K delivers great video quality and the ability to run twin cameras for 4K fully immersive VR experience. And 360-degree video has plenty of other uses, too. It's ideal for security applications, or for creating virtual tours of properties, and it's great for videoconferencing and recording live performances. And with the companion app you can control it remotely, with your iPhone or Android acting as the viewfinder.
But there's no point having a great 360-degree camera if it can't go everywhere you do. There are no such worries with the Pixpro SP360 4K Action Cam. It has a whole bunch of accessories including waterproof housings, attachments and mounts for everything from helmets to hovering drones.
