]]> Comment on DIY and passion give birth to #wjchat by Denise Cheng http://blog.webjournalist.org/2010/02/27/the-birth-of-wjchat/#comment-1119 Denise Cheng Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:13:46 +0000 http://blog.webjournalist.org/?p=250#comment-1119 Wow this is awesome, Robert! It's quite spectacular to have learned about #WJchat along the way, only to learn it's actually quite young (although I suppose a veteran in Internet years) and have felt like it's been part of a healthy journalism diet for as long as I can remember. Kudos to the crew on the second year! Wow this is awesome, Robert!

]]> Comment on The GoPano Micro could be awesome, but still has a bit to go by Michael M http://blog.webjournalist.org/2011/12/08/gopani-micro-still-has-a-bit-to-go/#comment-882 Michael M Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:38:14 +0000 http://blog.webjournalist.org/?p=1763#comment-882 I have a dot and it's awesome. aside from being able to focus (!), the great thing is you can PUT IT DOWN WHILE SHOOTING (the gopano has to be held, or I guess put on some sort of tripod). I've gotten amazing footage of my kids (and my dogs) that I don't think I could get with something I need to hold in my hand. since you're shooting 360, there's no need to see what your shooting - it's getting everything. after some initial practice with vertical placement (to make sure people's heads aren't cut off), I can't live with out my dot.

But you can see what you are filming, which is a negative, I think. But that's for the tip! Glad this space is emerging.

The comments on Kickstarter were overwhelmingly scathingly negative and I can see why. In addition to the focus issue you mention, the attachment is not securely attached in all cases and can have a tendency to fall off. The lens is also not protected and is thus susceptible to dirt and dust. I opted for the Kogeto dot and am quite pleased with the quality of both the attachment and the finished videos. It is a much better looking piece of kit, focussing just works works and the lens is protected. Only issue is that depending on the lighting conditions, there can be a glare showing up in parts of the video marring the otherwise overall decent quality.
