If you only
here
for the Kpop
dance, you can now skip to the next VR180 dance experience here.
If you are interested in the CALF camera review,
please stay to check out some 6K 50fps real-world footage together.
Here we have an outdoor shot on a gimbal at Paramount Studio - me right there
filming you. This one is with the most dramatic lighting. The California Sun is
overpowering, and the camera is in auto exposure. I think it handles it pretty well, except for some
noticeable chromatic aberration on the edge of the tall building and the Paramount water tower.
Now let's take a look at an indoor high-ISO moving shot. The camera is pretty light,
and it is easy to move with a mobile phone gimbal like the brand-new Zhiyun Crane M3S I have here.
But, this shot will give some of you a headache.
It shows the idea of moving a VR180 camera without a motion control system is always BAD.
Light gimbal and light camera are NOT a good thing in VR180 filmmaking. You want a heavy camera,
a heavy gimbal with a vertical stabilization system like a dolly, or an easy rig to lock the
camera movement completely. Only allow smooth straight line movement without any rotation.
Please refer to this tutorial on how to move a VR180 camera correctly.
Unless
you have a ten of thousands dollars motion control system - basically a
camera robot like what you are seeing here or a techno crane,
don't move any VR180 camera. Lock it down on a tripod, and don't touch it.
Here are some very, very close-up samples of CALF. Let's take a look.
I break all the rules of 3D filmmaking here as you should never get this close to a 3D camera.
We do see CALF handle close-up stereo pretty good. Def better than Insta360 EVO by 1000 times. So you
can technically go closer to the camera with CALF. The IPD is 65mm, so do your math.
50FPS looks good on dance content. I do wish it does 60fps in also 6K. Well,
maybe my wish will come true in the production unit.
How is the image quality compared to Canon R5C with Dual Fisheye lens, Insta360 EVO,
and the upcoming Teche 3D VR180 camera? Well,
that video is coming next. I want to spend more time including Teche in
the mix. Because I think the result will be very interesting and it is worth your wait.
Thank you so much for watching this in a VR headset with me. Well,
if you have not watched this in a VR headset - now is a good time to put your Meta Quest or
Pico on to review this. You won't see the benefit of 50 or 60fps in high-action VR
content like Dancing unless you see this in VR. Plus my friend is a great dancer.
