Larger than the consumer cameras previously available from Insta360 is the newly introduced EVO camera model, which records videos either spherically in 360° or in "half" VR format (the latter stereoscopically). 180° 3D photos can also be recorded. The maximum video resolution is 5.7K (5760*2880@30fps) with max 100Mbps.
To switch between the two modes, the housing of the EVO can be opened -- for 360°, it films as a cube with a very wide-angle camera module at the front and rear, while it is opened for 180°, so that the modules are positioned next to each other. The exposure can be adjusted manually (operation via app).
Image sensors of the same type 1/2.3&& as the ONE X are installed. Gyro sensors are integrated for 6-axis image stabilization, and FlowState stabilization is also used in 360 mode. Time-lapse and hyperlapse images are possible in TimeShift mode.
In addition, an EVO editing app compatible with iOS and Android appears, with which the recordings can be edited and optimized directly on the smartphone as it seems. For all those who don&t want to watch the 3D 180° videos in a VR headset, Insta360 also offers a special accessory called HoloFrame for smartphones. It was developed together with the Korean company Mopic, which announced a www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190211005322/en/MOPIC-Snap3D-Turns-Device-3D-Theater gadget in February, and looks like a mobile phone case, but is supposed to allow the stereoscopic content to be viewed with the naked eye in the EVO app. During playback, the app uses an eye-tracking technology to automatically track the direction of a user&s gaze in order to optimize the 3D display. No further details on how the 3D attachment is designed will be revealed.
The camera weighs 113g and measures 50.3x49x52.54mm as a cube and 98.4x49x26.27mm when folded out. An SD card with UHS-I V30 specification should be used as storage medium. One battery charge should be sufficient for about 65min. The Insta360 EVO is now available for about 470 Euro.
