What you just saw is an unforgettable classical music performance by Philarmonia Orchestra
in London ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL shot on the brand new Meta Three 12.5K 360 camera.
If you don't know Meta Camera, don't confuse it with Facebook, which is now also called Meta. Meta
Camera is a UK-based VR camera maker that has been around since the early day of 360 videos. You are
watching some sick slow motion video captured with the earlier version of the camera - called Meta Two.
Meta Two is a 6K 60fps to 120fps camera - which will allow you to capture slow motion for sport 360.
Meta 3, on the other hand, is META 2 bigger bother that focus
on the ultra-high resolution for the demanding need of virtual production. Take a look at
this beautiful footage shot right in front of my house in Venice Beach, California.
One thing you will notice immediately is the ridiculous high dynamic range. Look at the Sun.
It captures every bit of the highlights and, at the same time, all the shadows details
of the skate park with literally no noise. It has 14-stop usable dynamic range - higher
than any DSLR or even some of the professional cinema cameras, for example, the Blackmagic 12K.
In this 12.5K downscale to 8K 360 video, we will review the Meta 3 with my hands-on footage to
show you everything you need to know about this very high-end 360 camera. Make sure you set your
resolution to 8K on your YouTube player before playing this video. I will recommand watching
it on your 8K TV using the YouTube App on Apple TV for the best quality. Or you can watch it directly
inside your Meta Quest 2. The best VR headset to see its full quality is the new Varjo Aero
VR headset, which I will also review in my next video. So I will provide the stitched 12K footage
for you to download as well. Check the link in this video description down below.
If you want to future-proof your VR film, let's check out the review now.
hey what's up everybody it's your boy hugh here you just saw some amazing first shot
on this camera what is this camera this camera is the brand new meta three there's only two in
the world right now one in front of me filming us right now and one is actually in the biome in uk
it's the footage you just saw so let's talk about spec uh but before spec i have a chart right here
and you turn around Keeley is actually standing in the stitch line about literally two feet away from
the camera and there's a plant right here also two feet actually 1.5 feet away from the camera behind
me is a chart that is like pretty far away it's also in the stitch line so we see how sharp is
a subject right there around the camera so i am standing like one arm two arm
two arm length away from the camera so uh this brand new meta 3 camera let's talk about specs
it's 12.5 k 30 frame per second 14 stop dynamic range can capture ProRes
and raw uh some kind of compression raw but it can shoot raw as well so 14 stock dynamic range
is electronic aperture control from 3.5 f 3.5 to f 22 so you can control the aperture individually
or sync all the links together uh the big media store in full in the video cf card a cf express
card so you can you can also actually uh get it out using a usbc cable into ssd this camera also
have full hdmi so you can pi all individual camera feed out and stitching in posts like in uh Voysys
or they actually Meta have their own live stream software so you can livestream 12k and
what why you ever want to livestream 12k in vr well because 12k allow you to do super in post
or you can do something called area of interest in lightspot so you can zoom all the way in
so capture that you can easily create back plate for virtual production uh live broadcast and all the
great stuff so now i gotta walk around the camera and now i am in a stitch line keep walking around
uh while i'm walking around i will continue to talk about a spec uh
actually let's just do a circle test and then i gotta go really close to the camera front
facing the lens step back step back step all the way back really far away right here
okay you're the garbage truck yeah you hear a garbage truck you can hear it
uh now i go into stitch right really close and now i'm in the stitch line step back
and just one more circle
sorry about audio it's a garbage day but now you see the stitching and distance test
right there i'm just standing a bit far away i'll do a stitching test
i'm talking about right here you're looking to see me actually let me test the ceiling
so i gotta go on top so now the kit doesn't have a top camera on the camera
on the on the camera but let's see how good is the top stitching as well so when we see it and
bottom stitching i'm just going to try on the bottom now underneath the tripod get back out
okay so i'm just standing on the fireplace i look up to me uh the camera is gonna be
available on 35 000 us dollars uh is the most high-end professional camera you can get
a full sony super 35 uh back lit COMS sensor uh so it practically can see in the dark uh really good
uh lens is a special make lens for this camera uh because of the design of the camera you can
really get a sensor close together for a super 35 sensor uh so that is bigger than the Insta360 Titan
bigger than uh like the z cam v1 pro and bigger than the Obsidian Pro it's crazy so this is the
biggest sensor vr camera you can see camera out there in the market and 12.5 k full resolution
now it doesn't have gyro stabilization so uh if you want to stabilize it you need to use physical
stabilize physical gimbal on a rover yeah so this camera is also powered by regular power like what
means regular power is a vlog battery you can power any vlog battery into the camera have wi-fi
and have all the signal then you can control it remotely so you can do live stream or monitoring
Another great feature of this camera is no fans or moving parts inside the camera that generate
noise. Heat is dissipated via the full aluminum chassis. This means it can be used
in music capture like what you just saw at the beginning of this video.
It has all the professional ports - including Mini XLR for audio, LEMO socket for power, HDMI,
USB-C and a gigabit port for wired camera control and live streaming. It even has a
port for serial command control - like a raspberry pi for motion detect trigger. Great
for wildlife VR shoots and long-term installation. As you see in this sunset shot, the camera is
great for low light thanks to its dual gain ISO. Like Obsidian Pro, this camera can also adjust
focus. But the default is at infinity focus, and we recommand shooting at aperture
F5.6 for the sharpest image quality. This is a rolling shutter camera, but it has
line-level sync. It has a sync port to connect an additional top camera for VR drone application.
