360 rumors

I found an LED light that can work for almost any 360 camera! It's an LED light with two arms, which can be made to face almost any direction. The LED light has a clamp that is not wide enough for 360 cameras, but it can clamp on selfie sticks and lightstands which are often used with 360 cameras.  What makes this light useful for 360 cameras is that the light can be used to face in any direction, or to illuminate two directions at the same time. I tried it with a variety of selfie sticks, monopods, and light stands, and it was able to attach to all of them. It has a little bracket inside that I found useful for stabilizing its grip by resting it against the tripod attachment of a light stand. Here are some sample 360 shots (with a Ricoh Theta) using the LED light. Here is a shot where the light is illuminating both the front and the back at the same time. Each LED has two power settings.  Even on the highest setting and with both lamps facing the same direction, the light is ...

INTRODUCTION 360 cameras for consumers have small sensors, which do not perform well in low light.  At the same time, there are still no 360 cameras that support electronic flash.  It is possible to add continuous lighting, but because 360 cameras have a spherical field of view, the light source will be captured in the photo or video, and moreover, the light can add glare. I looked for a light source that was slim enough that it would not be visible in the shot.  Here's the lamp that I found: Here's a sample 360 photo when using with the lamp: As you can can't see, the lamp is invisible even to the Ricoh Theta S .  The lamp can also be used for narrower 360 cameras such as the Insta360 Nano ( with a tripod adapter ) or an LG 360 Cam . The lamp includes a plastic mounting clip that can also double as a stand, and a Micro US...
