If it is designed to make panoramas the it should spin around the nodal point (well entrance pupil) of the lens to avoid parallax. Unless im missing something then this design is inherently flawed.

Looks like a cool design, but where are the sample photos? Being on the ground the plane may be too low or at a bad angle. I would love to see the output.

Indeed, useless without pics. Of the pics.

Fatally flawed. Will never work (without massive correction post-shoot). First, as was said previously, the rotation should take place around the lens’ nodal point. Second, the axis of rotation needs to be perpendicular to the line of sight. This design has neither of these.

Too niche. There are panoramic digital photo and video cameras and of course LIDAR that work by rotating around to capture the “pano”. This thing just tries to target a niche consumer market and makes it awkward to get a good shot.

Besides - this would not produce a true 360 video like a 180 degree fisheye lens does. The criteria for true 360 video is that you can pan through 360 degrees (and some range of tilt) to see everything that was concurrent in a single frame.

WOW maybe it’s not real but it better be. Sounds like an amazing way to capture a moment

OK, So why in the world isn’t Sony making this cool little critter available to the rest of us? It’s a big corp with a big development history, so why is this still a “concept”?

I’m waiting, Sony
