This unique 3D camera is a fun ride for early adopters
It’s VR, but not as you know it. Unlike the head-tracking that’s arguably the selling point of VR headsets in terms of immersiveness, with 3D you’re stuck with a static image… but with another dimension. So you see depth, but only within a fixed-frame format. After all, it’s not a 360-degree camera.
I enjoyed watching some of Berlin through the Oculus Quest 2. There’s just enough resolution to impress, though there are some issues. The biggest is depth, with closer objects looking far more 3D than anything in the middle distance. Critically, the QooCam Ego 3D is endowed only with electronic image stabilization, which is a way of saying that, no, it doesn’t have anything like the kind of effect you’ll find on a GoPro or an Insta360 camera. The result is that everything looks rather wobbly even if you use a selfie stick.
This has ramifications that make the QooCam Ego 3D seem a bit first-gen. No doubt about it – filming 3D video using this camera requires it to be mounted on a gimbal if it’s to be watchable. There’s a standard tripod thread on the bottom, so it’s easily possible to mount it on a gimbal for video and a tripod for vlogging. For the latter it’s got self-timer options, but make sure you set the focus distance and don’t move forward or back during filming.My first impressions of the QooCam Ego 3D were pretty good, thanks to it being easy to use and generally likable.
