Can Canon’s new RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM Lens on the Canon C50 or R6 Mark III shooting Open Gate create a higher-end 360 video workflow for YouTube VR, Apple Vision Pro, and premium virtual tour work?
In this 360 video, I break down my custom two-shot 10K 360 video setup for HIGHEST image quality, better dynamic range, and a more professional result than a typical consumer 360 camera like Insta360 X5 or DJI OSMO 360.
