I'm traveling from Tokyo across Japan to
Shikoku for the weekend but has a bit of
a catch
I'm only bringing the GoPro max a 360
camera from GoPro so far so good
[Music]
how's it going your first time to see a
360 camera yeah
it's smaller than I thought yeah maybe
like a really dragon right like the
screen yeah yeah do I get something like
sushi or something so she sounds good
Sherri's all excited by the 360 camera
[Music]
feel like we start every visit with
sushi yep
[Music]
eight in the morning and just arrived
here about to do a little bit of a live
stream over on Sherry's channel and this
vending machine could help it get you
never get tired of the stuff we're gonna
start over here at a park that's gogo
Park hopefully this will been a little
bit of a test of background noise and
wind and all that carries channel just
hit 20,000 subscribers so she's doing
like a celebratory livestream right now
[Music]
all right so sherry just streamed on her
channel for like an hour and a half or
something like that and right now this
entire scene is actually being shot in
360 so I can show you what it looks like
when it's cropped in like this or when i
zoom out like this or if we were to go
full 360 like this and that's kind of
what you can do with this camera
obviously not the most useful mode for
like daily applications and vlogging and
videos but it's just neat to know that
you have the functionality it is a fun
camera to play with to say the least I
do want to give you guys a little bit of
a breakdown of how the camera works for
example this is gonna freak sherry out
see the screen yeah yeah I just turned
the camera completely upside down it has
something called horizon leveling that
I'm gonna show you but we have work to
get to for the day so let me continue
this in just a moment
[Music]
seven o'clock in the morning and I'm
heading from Matsuyama
back to Tokyo a train was a lot more
crowded than I was expecting for
Matsuyama
little countryside station but I found
sure just got to the airport had a
little extra time and realize I haven't
actually shown the camera itself so this
here is the GoPro max it works as both a
360 camera and kind of a GoPro it has a
front-facing screen and these little
legs that flip out here on the bottom
I've shot the majority of this video
using this as a GoPro I think they call
it hero mode one of my favorite features
of it is you can flip it completely
upside down like this and it keeps the
horizon level it's it's called horizon
leveling to do a little bit of a
demonstration on it on the bus ride on
the way here I did a little test so you
can see how the horizon leveling works
or how it at least looks in camera so
that that's that I'm
head back to Tokyo
[Music]
finally back into Tokyo luckily there's
still some fall leaves to enjoy to come
out for a little bit of a walk love this
weather whoo by the way when you're
shooting in 360 mode on this camera you
edit everything in the app afterwards so
you can kind of go through and reframe
it in any way that you want like again
and again and again so that's been any
interest of testing the audio thoroughly
similar to here was a little bit noisy
because of the water is to see how it
picks up my voice versus the water this
has really turned into a camera test
this this was originally intended to be
a lot more of a vlog also yeah you'll
notice that there is a bit of flicker in
the background there I had that issue at
the airports I basically cut the entire
airport section out of this because all
of the lights in the airport were
flicker clicked it up to flickering like
crazy I've come into Tokyo Midtown which
is actually really do
to check out the mid to low light
performance on the camera it was
flickering really bad so I just went
into pro tune and manually set the
shutter speed to thirty which hopefully
del if I can't
Tokyo Midtown actually tends to have a
lot of really seasonal displays and
illuminations that they happen just on
the other side of us right here and with
Tokyo getting dark as early as it does
cherry it's not lit up yet it's not no
cherries commenting that the battery
life on this is pretty good I've been
running this all day yeah we since
before we met this morning and the
battery is currently still at 45% also
in the summer this area behind here they
do like a water fireworks
yeah this is the audio test I really
wanted it because GoPro claims this has
a shotgun style microphone and I want to
know how much it's picking up me versus
a helicopter in the background
helicopters in Tokyo are always ramping
and Sheree leans forward and goes is it
is it recording it it was not so going
back to the talk of the battery for a
second I also in all fairness only turn
it on when I'm actually about to record
something and then as soon as I'm done
speaking I turn it off so it's not like
I'm leaving it on bricks as somebody who
doesn't use a bunch of fancy tech gear
what excites you about this camera if
anything like you don't really have to
own a computer
it's the video no you don't and you just
need to download it onto your phone and
you can like it as much in the way that
you would like that exactly that yes
yeah I guess if you just want to like
shoot stuff to post for social media
that's kind of neat and interesting this
camera might be overkill but it is
something that uses alright this is kind
of a low-light test we've actually got
some really nice liking it above us with
those signs but right now it looks good
also because it's on the screen so I'm
looking forward to seeing how it ranks
when it's on like that bigger screen
yeah
unlike the computer screen we're about
there's a minute or two away from these
lighting up also there's a big
difference between your being held
steady like this and if I start moving
like this I feel if it's anything like
the GoPro there's probably gonna be a
lot of blurred in these shots so again a
lot no idea it so close also the
low-light performance probably isn't
well enough for you to see it but there
are so many people waiting right now I
feel like we're probably about 10
seconds away and again I'm competing
with a helicopter 3 2
[Music]
all right just finished going through
and editing the footage from this and
aside from minor inconsistencies in
audio levels it all seemed to come
together okay
I've left there a lot of minor points
and technical points above the camera
because I really want to focus on
does it look okay does it sound okay and
can you vlog with it full disclosure and
GoPro didn't sponsor this video I do
work with them but they don't even know
that I'm making this video
GoPro if you're watching this and you
want to sponsor me for a future video I
probably won't fight you on it but this
one was just from me to you because I
personally was curious as to whether or
not I could vlog with the GoPro max
rather than carrying around the whole
and rather than making any personal
judgment on it I will let you be the
judge definitely let me know your
thoughts down below the comments section
on videos like this are always really
really good together but I just like 360
cameras in general because you don't
have to worry about where you're
pointing the camera you can just have it
anywhere and reframe it in the app later
I've ever really liked that also thank
you to Sheree for all the help Sheree
and I are gonna be doing another video
together soon where we see if we can't
trip up this translator device that one
I'm looking forward to I think we can
and thanks to each and every one of you
who shared your time with me today
watching this video I look forward to
hanging out with you in the comments
down below don't forget to give that
like button some love I look forward to
hearing what you thought about the
camera and you guys know I will see you
again real soon
[Music]
you
