![]() ![]() One setting I really appreciate on the Vuze XR is the option to set a Near or Far stitch. And camera settings are all easily accessed, as well. Press the WiFi button, then tap the Camera bubble in the app and within seconds you’re connected to your smart device and seeing what the camera sees.įrom the live preview screen you can toggle between stills or video and live broadcasting simply by pressing different icons. Press the power button, and the Vuze XR springs to life in about four seconds. It’s up there on part with the GoPro Fusion and Garmin VIRB 360 in this respect, if not higher. ![]() The materials are premium, and it feels like a solid unit in your hand that will stand the test of time. A bright, clear live preview lets you compose in real time and set up your shots to your choosing.īut back to the camera itself: the Vuze XR boasts some of the best build quality I’ve seen in a 360 camera. That’s not the case with the Vuze XR (nor the Vuze since spring 2018). One of my bugbears with the original Vuze app back in 2017 was that it didn’t have live preview, which mean you effectively composed blind. ![]() Information is where you can update firmware and learn more about the camera. Settings is where you can adjust frame rates, resolution, ISO and other controls. Gallery is where you review your content. Connect is where you link your phone to the camera’s WiFi. This time around, HumanEyes has clearly put a lot of thought into developing the Vuze XR app – but not so much thought that it’s overly complex.įrom the app home screen you simply have four circles to choose from: Connect, Gallery, Settings and Information. HumanEyes later on updated its app and software to correct many of those issues, and I updated my review with a second testing. When I tested the original Vuze, I loved the build quality of the camera but said I felt let down by its companion app, which overly complex and restricted one’s ability to use the camera to its full potential. The rest of the Vuze XR’s operation is handled via the companion app, and I’m pleased to say the app is brilliant. It’s a very simple, yet incredibly clever design that makes you wonder why no one has ever done it before! When pressed, the lenses flip out from their closed, 360-format position into a parallel position next to each other so that you can capture 3D 180-degree content. At the top of the grip on the other side – underneath your index finger – is a button that releases the two lenses. On top of this base is what is effectively a cage that holds the two lenses. On the side are the power and WiFi buttons. ![]() The base of the camera is a sturdy grip with a shutter button on the front underneath where your thumb rests. Like the original Vuze, the Vuze XR offers superb build quality in one of the more unique designs I’ve seen from a 360 camera. There’s a microSD card slot compatible with both UHS I and UHS III cards, WiFi compatibility, a USB Type C port for charging the camera and a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope for motion tracking. The Vuze XR is also able to live stream footage to your social media channels of choice via its companion app.Īudio is recorded via four MEMS 48KHz microphones, and it uses the Ambarella H2 video processor.Īs for stills, the Vuze XR captures 18-megapixel images and employs dual 12-megapixel Sony sensors with accompanying f/2.4 210⁰ fisheye lenses. Note that if you’re not seeing the 4K 60fps option in your Vuze XR, that’s because it was added as a firmware update in January 2019. The Vuze XR can record video in 5.7K resolution at 30fps in both 360 and VR180 formats, as well as 4K 60fps and 30fps. It’s worth noting that VR cameras often offer one of these modes: the Vuze XR allows you to shoot in both thanks to a clever lens design. What sets the Vuze XR apart from other 360 cameras, though, is that it can shoot still images and video in both 360-degree format or stereoscopic VR180. It follows the Vuze, which was launched in 2017. The Vuze XR is the second 360 camera from HumanEyes Technologies. ![]()
