Photos are an awesome way to immortalize a moment. Cameras have been the go-to instrument in events, special occasions, or simply to appreciate what is currently around you. Through the years, cameras have improved in quality, offering higher resolutions to photos taken. While detail and image quality increased, photos and cameras are simply that – a rectangular image that ends at the borders.
In recent years, a newer camera idea has slowly (but surely) gained traction among the public. 360-degree cameras provide the whole story of a moment. No person gets cut out of the shot, no missed events, no behind the scenes. These capture everything in sight, which gives a more complete image of the events.
Cameras also received a major upgrade in previous years with the rise to prominence of drone technology. Now, anyone can simply go to a gadget store and pick up their own camera drone for a very affordable price.
Vivitar Follow Me Drone Review
The Vivitar Follow Me drone offers an interesting camera angle (sorry for the pun) that can give you some sweet views. It has a 360-degree camera, giving you the total lay-of-the-land image. This camera, along with the capability of flight, provides the user with a great vantage point that can provide highly detailed photos.
The camera is a 16-megapixel 1080p variety and offers a sundry of features. Aside from panoramic 360-degree mode, it also offers your basic HD photo mode, follow me mode, and even VR capabilities.
The black color motif also helps differentiating itself on brighter days. You can have an easier time spotting it from a distance, which can be great for those wanting a hands-on control. The exterior also looks pretty durable, and can withstand a few bumps every now and then during flight time.
For those wanting a budget drone, you are in luck. The Vivitar Follow Me currently prices at $179, giving you a cheaper-end one with still highly capable camera features.
The Good:
- 1080p 16-megapixel camera capable of HD footage
- 360-degree panoramic view
- Follow me mode, VR mode
- Very cheap drone for one with 1080p camera capabilities
The Bad:
15 minute flight time
- May experience problems flying in rougher weather conditions
- Long charging time
So is the camera a 360 camera like the Samsung Gear 360 or GoPro 360? Or does the camera rotate 360 degrees?
