A new entry to the 360-camera scene is expected to become the next big thing by being the smallest one out there.
Developed by start-up company Memora, the Luna 360-degree camera is about the size of a regular billiard ball at six centimeters in diameter and weighs just 180 grams. It features two 190-degree fish-eye lenses that create a seamless 1920 by 960-pixel resolution video. No additional cables and rigs are needed to shoot, and there are no moving parts, Wareable reported.
To keep the video steady, the Luna also comes with a 9-axial gyroscope. Wi-Fi connectivity is also included, allowing users to share the footage or put it up for livestreaming. Meanwhile, a 32-GB internal memory offers plenty of room for storing videos and images.
Speaking of images, the Luna also has a 5-megapixel camera for shooting stills, as well as a microphone to capture audio.
The camera's body is constructed from aluminum while the lenses are covered in scratchproof glass for added sturdiness. The Luna is also IP68-certified, meaning it is waterproof and can be submerged for shooting underwater.
Luna also comes with its own mobile app, allowing filmed content to be viewed with Google Cardboard and potentially other VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and the Samsung Gear VR.
To cap the list of features, the camera also has a built-in magnetic connector, allowing users to stick it on metal surfaces. It also comes with an optional accessory pack to let it be attached to a mono pot or other devices.
Memora is currently accepting pledges for the Luna in its Indiegogo page. These cost $249 per unit, with an additional $99 for the accessory pack, and is expected to ship out in October 2016, Digital Trends reported.
