Great video! Was hoping for 8K 60FPS, but I guess they had to cut down certain things to keep the price under $1000. I'm curious what sensor they will be using. Optical flow is a smart idea as a workaround though going from 30fps to 60fps.
I would love 8K 60fps as well - but that said - it is a real headache on th Canon R5c in terms of sheer amount of data.. maybe if they could do that on a 200-250mbps data stream.. but the canons prores is like 1.5 TB per hour of recording.
6K 60fps is native on the camera - tho I gotta say - the quality of what FCP are doing with optical flow / machine learning - is shockingly good. im not sure if im not just as happy having larger frames to work from. but probably a toss-up, ideally I want 8K 60fps.. next year maybe.
yeah agree - they have done a lot of work already - and also some fairly hard choices, like ditching removable card for faster internal storage which I think will play good for them. avoiding people buying cheap microSD that can't handle the data-rate - im ok with the internal battery - but maybe not loving that.. still everything is compromises.. proofs in the pudding.
I have not tried hyper stereo - unless you count the 3mm offset as hyper ;-). but I feel you are thinking about shooting with 15+ cam cameras for landscapes etc?
it is too early - I deliberately did not post current video samples as the in-camera processing is not perfect yet. - I WILL post samples for download as soon as slam cameras say I can
the camera create spherical "stereoscopic" images - unless that is what you plan to print.. I would say it's not entirely suited for traditional landscape photography. :-)
@Sailing360 lol makes sense. I just wasn't sure if this format would allow for larger landscape at higher res. It makes sense to assume there would need to be extra editing to flatten it back out. I thought you had mentioned it took pictures but these are still VR pictures then. I was just thinking maybe a 180 camera would be good for large landscape photos without having to move the camera from one side to the other slowly like we have to do on our phones lol
@@Movingmidgard for landscape photography - scanning with the iPhone is going to be more detailed, this is specifically for VR headset video and photographs.
LOL Im lucky to have access to a lot of tech through work. YES I will be posting downloadable samples - at the moment it is too early - the in-camera processing is still a bit raw and understandably the slam team is asking to not post downloadable video yet.. they are working on a couple issues - the camera-app is still beta. but will post as soon as they approve and a couple issues have been sorted.
This makes the CALF Visinse I spent a fortune on look like a McDonalds toy. ACTUAL CAMERA CONTROLS!!! That screen! I am so angry at Calf at this point.
I know Slam have been following the calf2 release - and are trying to avoid some of the "do this even work" experience.. that said - my Visinse is starting to work fairly well. these are much the same - both shooting 7600x2800 8K 30fps video. but yeah - im with you - right now I would like to see the calf not burn out highlights. Slam expect to be shipping feb 2025, my guess is that calf2 visinse probably should have waited until Feb as well and the firmware would have been more fully baked.
@@Sailing360 If the stutter really is a write speed issue, and it does this on the internal storage it's basically unfixable. Camera is trash. I am not happy. I will be watching this SLAM release with interest.
@@pyrofer - yeah agree 100% - my guess is its an Calf may have an in-camera bottleneck. im very much hoping Calf can fix that in firmware. i'm a bit surprised it have not been fixed yet.
Hey Dexter - not sure we are looking at the same thing - the unit I have is surprisingly low on chromatic aberration, resolution is comparable to maybe better than the Calf2 * did go looking for that rainbow effect on the edges because of how the calf2 came off. I DID see a couple posts using the HDR mode - which is not ready for primetime yet, and among others do give a blurred look thank you for bringing it up - I should do a video with a resolution check and a look at the edges of the captured image
Exciting! I am looking forward to watching the clips taking from the Slam. Thanks very much for sharing this.
Wow! Ive been following slam since its inception. So glad to see this come to fruition. Envious you got to get a hold of a preproduction unit!
yeah me to - they have worked hard to get to this point. image processing need to be polished a bit - but the raw materials seems on point.

The only place where we differ is I would shoot 6K 60fps. Upscaling size easier than inserting more frames

What a hype for me!!! Thanks for this infos!
very promising!

Have you tried doing hyper stereoscopic videos with the go pro?

Hi 👋 great content, where can I download a sample video before editing?
it is too early - I deliberately did not post current video samples as the in-camera processing is not perfect yet. - I WILL post samples for download as soon as slam cameras say I can
Would you consider this slam to be a good still shot for high res landscape pictures for prints?

I must say, I'm a bit envious of your collection of cameras.
Would you be interested in creating a sample video to share with your subscribers?

The sample footage looks awful out of the SLAM VR180 XCAM. chromatic aberration and blur are so extreme . What a bummer
