Located in the Tech Table, the 360° Camera Kit can be checked out at the Service Center.
The 360° camera captures crisp photographs and film in wide and panoramic shots. The camera auto-stabilizes during filming, and the 360° quality allows post-production viewpoint changes. While the camera is robust and waterproof to 33 feet (10 meters), the camera is not indestructible or waterproof beyond that depth, and should be treated as such.
Alternatives: The Action Camera is the closest in durability and versatility. For general filming & photography, both the Video Camera and Still Camera will do. Thermal Imaging Camera only works with thermal applications in mind. The alternative options are really dependent upon your photography/filming needs.
