The V.360° camera from VSN Mobil captures 360 degrees of video (or still images) with a 4K/16-megapixel imager in full 1080p HD. Designed to follow you where ever you go—from the ski slope to snorkeling, meetings and events or even a safari—the V.360° captures the experience from all angles at once.

The video captured by the V.360° is recorded onto local storage and can be viewed live or played back through the Android and iOS app (free for use on smartphones and tablets). The app allows you to pan through a 360-degree video (or image) to view every angle—or lay it flat for a detailed panoramic view. It operates in two modes—paired with a mobile device for control and playback, or operated with the bundled handheld remote control.

The V.360° camera is self-contained and utilizes a 4K/16-megapixel imager that can capture 360-degree video in full 1080p HD. The imager also incorporates backside illumination for use in low-light conditions or underwater. The V.360° features a durable housing (certified to military standards) with an IP67 rating. It is water (immersion resistant to one meter for up to 30 minutes), shock, vibration and dust resistant and the camera is compatible with a standard mount used by GoPro and other cameras, allowing you to attach it to a helmet mount, a tripod or a variety of other accessories.

The V.360° camera supports simultaneous video and still pictures and includes built-in GPS sensor (to tag locations), a barometer/altimeter and an advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. The Snapdragon 800 processor's combination of integrated image signal processor (ISP), 2.3GHz quad-core Krait CPU, Qualcomm Adreno 330 GPU and video processor enable the V.360° to capture, de-warp and encode 360 degree images at higher fps and lower latency because all of the work is done on the camera, not the app. The V.360°sells for $399.
