Why Z2XC?

There are numerous benefits of using two lenses to capture the full spherical video:
  • Synchronization on multiple video camera has been a long nightmare for 360 video makers. Although software can help finding the most approximation of the sync points among the cameras, the random behavior of the camera shutter made video stitching a very tough work. With the revolutionary super fisheye lens at 194 deg FOV, we can take the full spherical environment with just two camera yet keeping the output at the highest resolution available, and we can use the official Gopro Dual Hero module to synchronize two cameras. No more hassle to locate the best sync points as the video sources were perfectly synced.
  • Parallax is another physical limitation of taking 360 video. With conventional 6 unmodified Gopro camera, objects have to be kept at 2 meters away from the camera or it shall be challenging to keep the output image from breaking. With our super fisheye lens with 194 deg FOV, objects beyond as short as 0.4m can be stitched perfectly, enabling seamless 360 video in a narrow corridor for indoor real estate shooting, which is in high demand but impossible to do with traditional multi-camera devices.
  • Tiny size & light weight can be another huge benefit. It can be installed on smaller drone for higher portability with longer flight time, the tiny size make it easily blended into the scene without making much disturbance to the scene, especially useful for capturing live events.
