BEST VR180 Camera in 2022? Canon RF5.2mm F2.8L Dual Fisheye vs FM DUO vs Z Cam K2Pro vs Insta360 EVO

The best way to find the BEST 3D VR180 camera in 2022 is to compare all of them, side by side, in Virtual Reality Metaverse. In this 8K VR180 video, we compare the new Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens (Canon R5 setup) with FM DUO, Z Cam K2Pro, and Insta360 EVO. Watch this in your favorite VR headsets like Oculus Quest 2 or HTC Vive Flow to decide which camera is the BEST.

The fm duo beats them all by far. I am very disappointed with canon in a direct comparison. Thanks for your effort. happy new year 2022

You are doing great, exactly the info I needed :) love to see the following video about how they perform inside an HMD, and especially with the Pico 3.0

[ShinilPayamal]

Thanks for the brilliant video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022!🎅🎄🎁

In my opinion the FM duo and the Canon fisheye lens win. Probably the FM duo for 12k but its also more expensive.

About 12K: You can display more resolution than VR headsets are capable of decoding by using Tiled encoding. Normally headsets are kind of capable of decoding to their max resolution but you can squeeze extra resolution out of them using this. Only few video players such as Tiled Media's ClearVR allows this. This is especially useful today for 180 stereo and 360 mono or stereo. The other major benefit is streaming really high quality at lower bitrates.

FM Duo, I never knew VR quality could be that good!

[makeascenestudios]

Hugh, first question, which camera does best for long form video recording at max resolution? I'm interested from a archiving theater productions perspective. With that in mind, second question, which camera is easiest to monitor and adjust settings on the fly while still recording?

[PPD]

FM Duo is the best for me but, too expensive for a ''non professional'' Happy New Year Hugh & family.

[rayvega]

Great review. Thanks.
the Hype train for CES is a really good news.

[scstudios]

Very nice to see all these systems compared like this.

[edber]

Thanks for all your incredibly useful videos Hugh!!

Have you tried using two Sigma FPs linked together for 180VR? Might be interesting to compare if you haven’t already. It’s a relatively inexpensive camera but quite small and can be rigged with lenses closely together. It shoots Full Frame 4K Uncompressed RAW with DNG files It can also support external timecode recording so the two camera can be in sync. What do you think?

Came for the VR180 camera reviews. Subscribed for the "SO YOU NEED A TYPEFACE" t-shirt.

Looking this with new Varjo Aero and Canon wins this for me by very small margin, probably because I want to have that lens :). Far details are almost as good as FM DUO and for closer ones I can't see any difference. CA is controlled much better on Canon. For darker parts of the video FM DUO was better. Canon clips had quite bad compression blocks on darker parts of the video. Highlights were also some what better at Canon. Great content, thanks!

[jimmybaker]

Thanks for this excellent video. I downloaded the video and reviewed in my headset. In my opinion the FM duo looked best and Canon Lens pretty close second.

[dr.sergeon]

Thanks for the video comparison! I'm so curious about the prosumer 2022 VR180 camera you are teasing, because I really want to upgrade my EVO but am not sure whether to preorder the Canon dual fisheye lens or wait for this new VR camera you mentioned!

[MrKlawUK]

Are there ways to download the best possible versions for headset viewing? All are limited to 4k youtube quality so you’ll get some oversampling benefit but not raw resolution. Or won’t it make much difference to have native on headset?

[rickybung]

12k should be the standard resolution for VR. Even 8k is a bit blurry to me. With future headsets coming up we need 12K.

[ZeroAtlas]

This is awesome. Thank you for the content Hugh. Do you have a recommendation for a VR 180 or 360 under $2K? I have an insta360 X3 and while I love 360 mono, I am looking for more immersion. Thank you!

[der_woe]

Great, really hoping for some kind of successor for the EVO.
Just have seen another video from you yesterday on OculusTV, where you have compared FM Duo, K2Pro and EVO (without the Canon RF Dual Fisheye) and thought "all right, quality of the EVO actually doesnt suck, but 30fps is not working for me)
Will have to see that Dual 360 Go2 vid though, but some finished product that is a little bit more failproof would be better.

On the other side, you talked about "pair up any dual camera with wide fov lenses, like 2x GoPro10 with Max Lens Mod, has someone tried this? Would wonder how this would look in Video.
Those lenses have 155° FOV, what would happen if both cams were not lined up straight to each other and instead following a slight curve where both cams are rotated a bit outwards? Wouldn't we be able to achieve 180° FOV then, sacrificing left peripheral vision on the right eye and the other way around?

[hhhhhh-dyrm]

Hello Hugh, what is the best VR180 camera in terms of video quality (resolution) with a budget of $500 to $750?
