This is the year of the 360 degrees videos. Elephone brought on the market one of the first Chinese 360 degrees action cameras; the EleCam 360.
The camera is quite small and light and it has a quality build.
It can be found as cheap as $132usd.
Get this from:
Gearbest: http://bit.ly/295jvSU – use coupon code “GBElecam”
Everbuying: http://bit.ly/2954Xn4
Aliexpress: http://bit.ly/29autsS
Amazon US: http://amzn.to/298PLWo
Amazon CA: http://amzn.to/295vUpU
The camera comes if a few accessories and mounts so you can easily take it on your next adventure.
There is also a manual, but like most Chinese products its totally garbage.
You can use the camera with the accompanying app on your smartphone or by itself.
The app is simple and easy to use and you can download everything right on your phone.
Sharing the content will be difficult to do because everyone needs that app in order to be able to see what you filmed.
Uploading straight to YouTube doesn’t work either.
If you do want to upload something to youtube you will have to save the footage on your computer, download the EleCam 360 video converter program, convert the video with that app, download the YouTube metadata injector app, put that video thru that program and than it will be ready to be uploaded on to YouTube.
A bit complicated and also not mentioned in the EleCams 360 manual.
