Today we are going to take a look at another brand new 360 camera the TE720
right here this is the prosumer level camera features 15k 360 degree photos by
the way this is a true sensor level 15k as each lens capture 4.6K photos and it
also does 8K mono 360 videos. The most unique feature of this camera that is
different from all the other popular 360 cameras is it use ultra wide-angle lenses
instead of fisheyes to capture 360 with minimal distortion in post stitching and
produced a very sharp image even on the edges around the stitch line area right
here and also minimize chromatic aberration generally by fisheye lens it
has an internal SSD with 448 gigabyte massive storage built in. The build
quality of this camera is also very impressive. As you see the metal body and
this is the first look of this camera
Hey everybody. It is your boy Hugh. So before I show you this camera I
want to thank VeeR to give me a special opportunity to share my knowledge with
the Chinese 360VR creators in Beijing during the VeeR creator summit
the Chinese are hungry for 360 contests if you want more view of your VR content
hmm don't forget to also upload it on VeeR so you can reach a larger audience
or multiple headsets well it's back to the camera this is another product of
this growing demands on 360 content creation inside China Teche or
whatever you want to pronounce it has actually been around for four
years and this is their fourth generation VR camera before Teche
mostly do business to business 360 camera for industry use again it does
not mean this camera will be good for consumer like me and you so let's find
out. The most standout feature is you can capture sensor level 15k high-resolution
360 photos it is only mono but still is the first one body 360 camera
that can capture such a high resolution. Not only with such a high resolution you
can also retain a high definition or sharpness of the image thanks to using
the wide-angle lenses instead of fisheye. So just to be clear
GoPro Omni or GoPro Odyssey also use wide angle lens instead of the fisheye
it had its advantage but also is disadvantage I will show you in the
stitching part using ptgui and Mistika VR later. Another unique feature and
that is probably why I will choose this camera is the dedicated top right here
and bottom right here camera so if you do know Drone work or Aerial 360
shot with the DJI m600 and professional camera Z Cam S1, Kandao
obsidian or the Insta360 Pro you will notice in post stitching there is
always something wrong with the tennis the zenith the how to pronounce it the
top of the camera basically even you can fix that in post with Mistika VR. The zenith
is not as sharp as the rest of the scene think about it when you hang the camera
upside down the most important part of the footage is the ground. So you need a
dedicated top camera to capture this and only Nokia Ozo, Samsung Round and Yi Halo
or the Z can V1 Pro have an extra top camera but you will never hang any
of those cameras on your Drone. Because they are very heavy and also none of
those camera has internal stabilization the TE720 has built in 9-Axis
stabilization just as a brand new Insta360 pro 2 with
stabilization and a dedicated top camera this become a real breast in the
sky. It is not a stereo camera unfortunately but really why you need a
stereo camera if you're already up high in the sky. Another small thing that only
people have done drone removal in post-production know: to replace your big
drone with the top mount GoPro as a clean plate it's a lot easier if the footage
does not have the fish eye Distortion that is why the bottom camera right here
see right here is also a great feature to have another feature that is really
smart of this camera is all lens support 52mm round photo filter and it
comes with seven UV protective filters already. So how many time outside under
the strong Sun you want ND filter like this one of your camera. Look at
this drone footage I shot with the insta360 pro the sunspot is
all blown out I can fix it now with an ND filter with this camera and here's
how easy to change the filters you can just screw it screw it in you can just
unscrew it like that and you can replace it with any filter you want
Another impressive build feature are the full metal aviation
aluminum body with the heat dissipation capacity and it's no heat sunk
design just like that Kandao Obsidian or the Z cam. So no fan or no fan noise
the Teche claimed that camera can work in extreme condition with dust proof and
splash proof design so Burning Man yes Deep dive in the ocean no there is a built in
battery that you can do a continued filming for 75 minutes but the
cool thing is it coming with an external portable battery this little metal box
right here you can keep the camera continue film for another 150 minutes
it's made with metal with the internal 448G SSD storage this thing can
practically run all days. Also pay attention to the detail redesign of
right here look at the connector between the battery unit and the camera itself
it has a secure metal way to make sure that connector is tight
see when is pretty tight how many time I need to tape the power cable and
Ethernet cable on to the Insta360 Pro or the Obsidian just to find
out later the PA or the intern step on the power cable and then plug the camera
entirely. This extra detail attention and design would help the DP to focus what
they do best which is drinking their coffee, making fun of the Sound guy and
talking to cute girls or cute guys.
there is an antenna right here to extend the signal so I can control the camera
in a pretty far away distance with an especially make remote control right
here you are not using your phone by the way guys no one know if you are checking
your Facebook or Instagram or you are actually working with the dedicated
remote control no more screwing around behind the directors back okay so now we
know all the good thing about this camera what about some bad thing well it
is not a stereo 3D360 camera and it's too simple to use the camera uses a
specially designed exposure system and Auto Expo each lens individually based
on the lighting environment but it does not allow you to adjust exposure
manually by lens like the Kandao obsidians. You don't really have much
control especially in video to adjust exposure you need to rely on the
physical ND filter right here as you see which does not come with the camera well
luckily they are very cheap because they are standard of their cannon with the
50mm. So you can really easy to find on eBay. The camera design is a little bit
funky as you see right here because the bottom lens is getting out it come with
a little metal pie right here as you see but the center of gravity of this camera
pointing forward my right now so if you are using a monopod make sure you have a
really steady Leg and use a sandbag as a counterweight for extra stabilization
the software at this time of recording is only in Chinese I cannot what I can
read that but you probably cannot so I have to rely on MistikaVR ptgui or Auto
pano to stitch.
