KanDao QooCam 8K full view camera Pocket camera Outdoor Digital Camera Sport action camera with F2.0 1/1.7 8K live for live streaming, gift, vlogging and camping.

This is without doubt the best gadget I have bought in a long time The build quality is excellent as is the ease of use. It can be used on auto for simplicity or for serious use you can tweak to your inner nerds content. Two things of note, some features like Time-Lapse need to be initiated from your phone for the first time, but then the feature stays on the camera forever. Secondly, the phone control software is excellent but the other software you can download is functional only. To get the best you will need to feed the excellent 8K pictures and video into decent second party picture and video editors. Although the manual is pretty sparse there are plenty of great tips and guides online at the manufacturers site and elsewhere. I did a time-lapse of the sky the other day and it was incredible.

I originally bought the GoPro 360 max and was very disappointed... so decided to upgrade to Qoocam and I'm very happy with my purchase.

This is a good camera. The quality of the video and photos is good. The size of the unit is good, and the selfie stick you can buy for it is great. But there are a few downsides.The microphone is poor, but you can use an external microphone. You can get a half decent one for £20.Make sure you turn it off properly, because if its left on and inside the pouch it will get very hot. In fact there have been issues with the camera overheating in normal use, so many people recommend using a powerbank when you are using it. There is a good usergroup on Facebook which i recommend.The whole process of editing the photos is a chore. Just be aware. This camera isn't professional grade, but I do think complete beginners will struggle to get good results. The use of Lightroom and PT GUI for example will help a lot.The instructions leave a lot to be desired. For example there are on screen icons shown in the instructions that are not on the camera, due to software updates. So you definitely will need to watch video tutorials or web site guides for a lot of the functionality.So a good camera, but not an easy or convenient camera.

This an updated review after using this camera couple of the times, the good things about this camera is having a good dynamic range, but there are massive problems with sharpness, I test it dng 8, dng express and super hdr mode, then I saw some issue regarding thermal defocusing, I am not sure this sharpness issue related to overheating or not, I checked the photos even after turn on the camera no big difference, I needed this camera for real estate virtual tour but it seems that it is not a good choice. I emailed to manufacturer but they never reply back, sharpness in compare with Z1 and 360 one is 50% lower which is significant, well 360r has a wifi and stitching issue. SC2 is a good alternative but the problem is there is no png/ raw file. I am going to send another email to Kanda if they ignore I am going to return this item as the photos are very smooth and blurry.The 3rd review, I had to return back this Item, the Kandao company rather than to focus the problem (specially thermal heating defocusing issue) the made a enterprise version for £1800, most of the people in FB group are complaining we sent many emails to company but they never replied back, highly recommend select an alternative one.

Oh where to start! Well, i have had this camera for 3 days now and this is the issues I am having.1) The software you get from Qoocam's site Version 1.4.1.5 will not work with this camera, you have to go onto facebook and join the Qoocam 8k page to find the link to version 1.5.1.5. Then you will need a Nvidia GTX 980 min for the software to process slow motion as well as quite a powerful PC with lots of memory. The Mac program has not been updated, so will not work.2) The camera has a fan to keep it cool which switches off when filming, but you hear the sound of the fan turning off in the audio. UPDATE! Had this camera a year now, and it is more trouble than it is worth. Complicated, lot of hassle and stuff will work one day, but not the next. For example Facebook live no longer works. All this camera does is gather dust!3) The audio is terrible, apart from the sound quality, it picks up any vibration from the selfie stick.4) My camera keeps locking up and I need to power off then on to restart it.5) There is no documentation telling you how to go about getting the film out of the camera, you just have to search the web, but being that this is such a new camera, there isn't much out there except raving reviews... (take them with a pinch of salt)6) The battery life seems to go quite quickly, just messing about takes 10%, I expect it is enough for the internal memory, but anything extra will need an external battery pack ....I hope this will turn out to be a good camera, but it needs better software, more updates to deal with the locking up issue, fan noise and an idiots guide as to how to use it!UPDATE! Moved the stars from 3 to 4 now that I have had the camera a little longer. The photo is only 1954 mb and when viewed on a UHD Tv or Oculus headset is fantastic, lot of detail, could almost be in the room, (just as good as the same picture at MP4 at 211,590 Mb). When I learnt how to get the video out of the camera and into my Oculus go (Put the camera on my passenger seat of the car, and was amazed at how realistic it looked, now I know what I look like when I am driving!). BUT to process the video on your pc (i7 770 4.2ghz with 16 Gb memory) 1 minute is taking 14 minutes to process at 100%.So in conclusion, this is a great camera, but it needs powerful processing power if you want to move it out of the camera, and patience is needed while they iron out the bugs.... but this is a brand new camera to the market, and although the go pro might be just as good, this one will do 8K once we have a way to view it!

The opportunities are endless......Great little camera.

I got this via an Amazon Warehouse deal. Firstly I think the Q button was broken which would explain why the previous customer returned it. But I assume that was a one off.The picture quality from this device is great for what you are paying for this sort of camera. Unfortunately that's about as much praise as I can give it.The UI on the screen is not easy to use. Often with things just seemingly locking up and needing me to restart the camera.I downloaded the software which helped a little bit. But even this was not easy to use. Unlike my Theta, the Qoocam didn't stitch the photos together in camera. You seem to need software which is only available for the PC. No Mac version.The battery life was OK but the fan noise was annoying. From the moment you turn it on, the fan just spins like it's at full blast.In the end I decided to return it as with all the foibles and the Q button which did nothing. It just seemed like an expensive device for something I couldn't use very easily at all.In short, I think this seems like it has the makings of a great piece of hardware, waiting for the software to catch up.

I've now purchased two of these Qoocam 8k 360 cameras, and both have failed me. The first had soft focus after the camera got warm during use, so i returned it. The second replacement had soft focus again, and now, six months later the battery has gone dead. I've therefore arranged a return and a refund for the second one too. Kandao could have knocked the ball out the park with this camera as it promises everything but falls short of delivering the quality. Their firmware updates have taken away some of the features i purchased the camera for and the in camera audio is still useless, you can't even sync external audio with it. The Qoocam Enterprise version seems to have fixed some of the issue with a partial redesign, but it's £1800 so vastly overpriced. It's a real shame as i want this camera to deliver what was promised but sadly it doesn't.

L'image trop floue pour une caméra 8k, enregistre le son en mono qualité appareils photo bas de gamme du début des années 2000 - et ce même avec un microphone externe de qualité stéréo.La caméra chauffe trop, impossible de la tenir il faut obligatoirement un support en plastique pour pouvoir filmerLe vrai bémol, tous les enregistrements doivent être traités avec un logiciel téléchargeable sur le site du constructeur - le logiciel pas très fiable et mal expliqué. Cela nécessite beaucoup de temps et un pc puissant.A éviter surtout vu le prix

I didn't expect the sound quality to be as good as it is. The picture quality is amazing, but I expected it to be. It works great as a two camera interview camera with only one device. Fits nicely in your back pocket for ease of travel. Nicest 360 camera I've gotten to use, even in low light.

Stando alla scheda tecnica ed alle "intenzioni" si tratta di un prodotto rivoluzionario, tantissimi punti a favore ad un prezzo relativamente basso. Peccato che ogni velleità si infrange con l'uso nella realtà, pochi difetti che rendono la Qoocam 8k inutilizzabile:- profondità di campo limitata ai primi 10 metri di distanza (tutto quanto è posizionato oltre questa distanza risulta fuori fuoco)- tendenza al surriscaldamento (che disallinea i gruppi ottici rendendo completamente ed sfuocate le immagini)- software per dispositivi mobili e personal computer macchinosi, pieni di bug e spesso non funzionantiSi tratta praticamente di un prodotto acerbo, ovvero un prototipo non ancora messo a punto, infatti basterebbe correggere il punto di fuoco sull'iperfocale per risolvere i problemi di fuoco, poi aggiungere un'opzione per disattivare l'anteprima a monitor dell'immagine stitchata per ridurre consumi e surriscaldamento ed infine rilasciare software scritti correttamente. Con questi accorgimenti sarebbe perfetta, per ora reso senza ripensamenti.

Al principio estaba ilusionado con ella, pero en cuanto la probé, la nitided deja mucho que desear, comparada con otras 360 con menos resolución dan más nitided, el motivo lo desconozco, el software de edición muy pobre y aunque indica que puede hacer streaming tanto a Facebook como a YouTube, no fui capaz de sincronizar la cámara ni con el PC ni con la app del móvil, la batería dura muy poco, menos mal que se puede alimentar mientras se usa, la he devuelto muy desilusionado.

Nach anfänglichen Softwareschwierigkeiten, ist die Kamera nun sehr empfehlenswert.Es muss einem halt klar sein, was man hier kauft und man sollte grundlegend Technik affin sein, da man doch ein gewisses Softwareprozedere bis zu einem guten Ergebnis durchlaufen muss. In dieser Preiskategorie ist das Teil super. Hatte die Kamera mit im Urlaub und es wurden sehr schöne Aufnahmen (man muss sich der Restriktionen einer solchen Kamera bewusst sein). Einen PC mit entsprechend potenter Grafikkarte ist Vorraussetzung !
