![]() ![]() The 8 lenses are evenly distribute dinto 4 sets of two, which is how it’s capable of shooting 3D as well as 360. ![]() Its size and weight give it a premium quality and it feels like it’s more capable than its smaller rivals. The camera has excellent build quality and doesn’t feel cheap. You’ll find a power button and a shutter key on the top of the Vuze and a charging port/microSD slot hidden behind a door between two sets of lenses. The Vuze has just a few manual controls on the body, with the majority of the controls saved for the app. The Vuze was never designed to be a hand held camera anyway, it’s meant to be attached to a tripod and left to do its thing, in which case the weight and size doesn’t matter too much. Again, I must stress that this isn’t a camera that you are going to attach to your selfie stick and walk around with. The plus side is that the Vuze can shoot for an impressively long time, however it also makes the camera one of the bulkiest and heaviest I’ve used. The flying saucer shaped device is fitted with 8 individual lenses and a rather large bettery. Weighed up against its main rival, the Insta360 Evo, we'd say it's just about honours even in terms of function and the quality of the final results, but note the distinct difference in form factors – the Vuze XR is more for casual, hand-held use, whereas the Insta360 Evo gives you extra flexibility with its compact size.Single button control on camera. ![]() If you want to dive into the VR content game at a price that just about counts as affordable, give this camera some serious consideration. Sure, there are flaws – the mobile app isn't much use beyond being a viewfinder, and the battery life is so-so – but on the whole our experience of using the Vuze XR was a very positive one. It's simple enough for anyone to use yet it produces videos and images that only the most professional content creators are going to quibble with in terms of quality. Verdictįor a device that offers not one but two VR shooting modes in a compact, easy-to-use package, the Vuze XR deserves a lot of plaudits. The twin 3D camera mode is one of the Vuze XR's key selling points, and sets it apart from the average 360 camera. It's an immersive way of taking a 3D trip through your memories. Our finished footage looked great when we uploaded it to YouTube, whether viewed on a computer screen or inside a headset – almost seamless stitching throughout, high quality in every direction (with the 5.7k resolution enabled). The finished 180-degree or 360-degree spheres can then be viewed on Facebook or YouTube (you can click and drag with the mouse to look around), or in a headset like the Oculus Go or Google Daydream View. To get your footage into a 3D form, you'll need to use the dedicated Vuze software on mobile or desktop, or upload your clips straight to Facebook or YouTube, which can handle the conversion for you. If you want serious shake reduction, you might want to think about a dedicated action cam. Serious VR movie makers are going to want more control over their work of course but the Vuze XR has a price and feature set to appeal to the casual filmmaker – and for that category of user it works very well, with results you'll be proud to show off (though you might need some tweaking in the desktop app to get them).ĭon't expect the 6-axis video stabilisation to work wonders, however – it's more about keeping standard shots steady than ironing out major bumps and shakes – but it managed to keep our walking and driving shots under control. Low light can be a problem, but no more so than other cameras of this class, which aren't particularly built to dazzle in the dark. You don't get much in the way of shot customisation either on the Vuze XR or through the app, but the point-and-shoot approach works well in most situations. Detail capture is respectable, even in lighter and darker areas, with scenes coming across well lit and vibrantly coloured – accurately matching what the eye sees. This is a pocketable, not-overly-expensive camera that can get results that hold up well to anything you'll see on YouTube at the moment. ![]() In our time shooting footage with the Vuze XR, we ended up very impressed with what we saw. If you want to mount the Vuze XR a little more securely, there's a tripod socket in the base. ![]()
