  • We need a HQ download link to view in our Meta Quest 2 (and to show clients)! This is the best explanation and presentation of what's possible in VR 180 to-date.
  • I would love to see behind the scenes post processing workflow for this video. The quality is great but its hard to find consistent information on the best workflows to get the highest level quality final product.

    Perfect video for showcasing the capabilities of 180 stereo. Thank you for this!
  • @TyKix
    Great video, really does put the message across the do’s of shooting 180 video

    If I want to use multiple of these to stitch together into 360 (on a custom Mount) how many would you recommend using? The optics on the 360 options I have seen are unacceptable.
  • The way I think of the framing in both 180 degree and 360 degree filming is that you have to follow the 1/3 of 1/3rds law.. In other words. You need to focus in at the center of the image of a 3x3 grid (the 1/3 center)..and then within that, follow the normal 1/3 camera rules.. The nice thing about 360 degree cameras, is that they don't split the 3D effect in front of you, they keep it 2D..and then your visor converts it to Stereogram. Its much nicer to look at that way. The problem I have with Sterograms in a VR visor is that I can never seem to get them lined up 100 percent right, and it always feels uncomfortable to look at. And I find that it also pushes your "depth of action" back. In stereograms, the actor has to stand back. But with 360 degree opposing lenses, you can get within inches of the actor if you have to, and it looks fine.

    How do I get this clarity and what settings were used.
  • @ubacow7109
    i feel like 210-270 degree is the sweet spot, 180 has a bit of a limitation peaking out of the corner of your eye in vr

    Great work here. I always wonder why even tho this video is a 4K video and has a 4K option, it doesn't have a 4K tag on it.
  • @ManualModeMedia
    Great video! Do you get the same features on the R5 C with this lens to help with focusing and overlay?

    Hello, I am looking to buy one of these for work. Just a question on using a tripod. I guess it needs an extension length as it will capture the tripod legs if it is just attached as normal. What are people using with this? Any recommendations are welcomed as I am a newbie to this. Thanks in advance.
  • it is wonderful tech but the resolution is not perfect and i think it needs special sensor not only lens the ordinary sensor take rectangle photos but vr photos is square
  • Hello, the 3d video will work with VR device ... but i would like to know if the same file can be watched online as a normal video without 3d without the need to record 2 videos with 2 different lenses. Thank you in advance !!!
  • Hello! Is there a workflow video of video shot in canon r5 fisheye and splicing and exporting to use for vision pro device in immersive mode?
  • @Nicholaslkane
    Wow tysm Canon! Do you have any free/sample raw stereoscopic 8k footage using this lens for us to test and play around with? Thanks for your knowledge and time!! <3
