The Vuze is also rated IP64 for splash and dust resistance. It’s a little bit cumbersome having to open the side flap and press the WiFi button every time you turn on the Vuze. In a next edition of the Vuze, though, I’d like to see the WiFi button on the top next to the Power and Record buttons. Even your elderly father could use it with ease. Underneath is the tripod mount.Īnd that’s it! It’s very simple to operate. On top of the Vuze are just two, simple controls: a power button and a record button. It’s a feature I wish cameras like the Ricoh Theta V would have had, so it’s nice to see this on the Vuze. The microSD card slot is a nice touch and one that is becoming a must-have as storage demands increase with resolution.
On each side is a pair of ‘eyes’, and on one of these sides – the back of the camera – is a compartment tucked away behind a thick rubber door where you will find a micro USB port for charging the Vuze and importing images, a microSD card slot and a WiFi button. Delightfully minimalist, the Vuze looks a little bit like a flying saucer.
That said, it’s solid and robust and one of the most impressively designed cameras I’ve seen. Most 360 cameras I’ve used are so light you hardly notice it on your person, but at 450g the Vuze has a noticeable girth to it. The Vuze camera arrived in a luxurious box that screams high end, and when I lifted it from its casing I was quite surprised by its weight.
#Vuze camera software#
And while some may bristle at the Vuze camera’s $800 price tag, this is really a bargain when you look at how much professional 3D rigs and editing software can cost.īut is it any good? On paper, it has a lot of promise. HumanEyes has launched the first 360 camera for consumers that offers 3D functionality. What’s interesting about the Vuze camera is its extra dimension.
#Vuze camera download#
You can also download free software via which you import, edit and render your 3D 360-degree footage… but, again, more on that later! Other features include a standard tripod mount, via which you can screw in a mini tripod or handheld grip, and a VR headset. The Vuze also features built-in WiFi, which allows you to control the camera via a dedicated app… but more on that later. Unlike many 360 cameras, the Vuze records your footage to a microSD card in an external storage slot on the side of the camera, in between two lenses. The Vuze also contains four built-in microphones for capturing audio. What is the Vuze 360 camera?Īmongst the glut of new 360-degree cameras entering the growing market, the Vuze from HumanEyes promised early on to be one of the most interesting, promising 3D footage – a rarity among 360 cameras – in 4K resolution with a unique design.īoasting a flat, disc-shaped body design (or, rather, more like a square with rounded off corners), the Vuze features eight cameras spread out evenly in pairs across its four sides.Įach camera pair – eg one side of the camera – is intended to mimic human eyesight, and each individual camera’s Sony image sensor can record UHD 4K video at 30p.
#Vuze camera update#
So I contacted HumanEyes and asked to re-test the 360 camera and update my Vuze camera review. To its credit, HumanEyes, maker of the Vuze, has released a slew of software and firmware updates since I published my Vuze review and, on paper, these would appear to resolve many of my initial concerns about the camera. But limitations with its app and stitching software made it feel somewhat like an unfinished product. In my verdict I said that the Vuze camera has an impressive build quality, beautiful design, is easy to use and is unique in offering 3D capability at the consumer end of the market. I originally tested the Vuze 360 camera back in July 2017, and was one of the first in the UK to review the camera at a time when its supporting elements were still very raw.
