In further exploring new gear, I purchased a Vuze XR camera. The camera does both 360-degree video and 180-degree 3D video. I was particularly curious how this camera might handle footage for an Oculus Go or other VR headset.
The Vuze XR looks quite different from other 360-degree video cameras. Two cameras sit atop a short handle. When the cameras are folded in, they record 360-degree video. With the touch of a button, the cameras pop out like a pair of eyes. In this configuration, it looks like either Johnny Five or WALL-E.
Here is one side of the box:
Here is the other side of the box. Each side shows the device’s two configuations.

Quick start guide.
Soft-side protective case.
Carrying cord.
Charging cable. USB-C this time, not micro-USB. The batteries for this device are not removable. If you want extra power in the field, you’ll have to get a separate battery pack.
I also bought the tripod for the device. Here is the box.
Folded.
Unfolded. A neat piece of design and engineering there. Not sure how stable it would be outside, though.
Looking forward to know more information about this camera you’re sharing
Thanks for the comment! Anything in particular you’re looking to know more about? I finally gave it a test run this week but haven’t processed the footage quite yet.
