Comments on: The GoPano Micro could be awesome, but still has a bit to go https://blog.webjournalist.org/2011/12/08/gopani-micro-still-has-a-bit-to-go/ Tech. Culture. Journalism. Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:38:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.13 By: Michael M https://blog.webjournalist.org/2011/12/08/gopani-micro-still-has-a-bit-to-go/#comment-882 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.

It looks like the http://www.kogeto.com/ is pretty cool and has some better imagery. 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.
