Hello Mic,

thank you for the reply.

Yes to bee honest, the most versatile cam is my Insta360 EVO, and the Image quality is quite awesome for such a small device.

But the question is, if we are so lucky, that in the years of growing of our kids there are 3D 360 6k 8k cams available!, will we regret it in the future that we not captured and saved some precious moments?

Ok it’s a luxury problem, but we live in a point of technical history, this is possible, right now without “costing a fortune”.

Difficult question 😉

In reply to Jarno Wätzig. Actually, I had an Obsidian R for a short while for testing purposes. I think using Obsidians for family videos is overkill tbh.

Hi Mic,

sounds that you never have seen real world samples from Kandao Obsidian R?

Im on an Obsidian Go at the moment and thinking of Obsidian S or R for improved 360 3D Video resolution and Photo dynamic Range.

This why a comparison between Insta 360 Pro 1 and 2 an the Obsidians whould be interesting.

Usecase, private Clips of the Kids 😉

Obsidian Go takes great 3D 360 8K Photos with not the best dynamic range.
Depht mode stitching with Kandao Studio 2.7 after calibration delivers great Stereo results.
Even single long blades of gras in 1meter distance will be in good 3D.
Ok, soemtimes there are some issues left stiching over head is not the best, branches of trees for example)

Video has good Stereo but 4k is somewhat lowres 😉

Testing Topas Video AI at the moment but 5-16s per Frame on an OC 1080Ti is so slow.

greetings from Germany

Jarno

Hey Ty,
Thanks for all the useful info!
I have tried to locate the samples from the obsidian but I found none. Did you ever put them together?

Cheers

Hi, I’m using Obsidian R and the Issue with my camera is that the data for one lens is missing after capturing.
while exporting files from camera it can’t download some files and gives error and after completion you can’t have all the data from 6 lenses here the data from one lens is missing.
It happened to me several time and i was not able to deliver the project because it was not possible to cover that missing part with other lanses data or you can’t export a perfect file with 5 lens data.
here is 1.2.3.4.5.6 lenses
I have 1.2.3.4. – .6 lenses Data
Missing the .5. lens Data is missing
its random, some times it the lens 5 and sometimes its one of other lenses.

*Please take a look at this scenario its very urgent and necessary for me.

Hi …
Question .. What media are you using with the Obsidian R? Are you using SanDisk Extreme 128?
Just curious .. Also .. What kind of duration for say 64gig cards at 8K are you seeing?
Thank you!
