To get a full spherical image, you can fill in the missing angle with graphics as in the case of the 360Fly, or set up two cameras back to back as in the case of the Pixpro. The 360Fly and Kodak's Pixpro SP360 are two examples of cameras that only have a viewing range of 240 degrees vertically. Even cameras that have 360 in the name won't produce shoot the entire 360 degree angle. You also need to factor in the viewing angle. A quick Google search of 360 cameras will show you can spend anywhere from $200 (for the LG 360 Cam) to $60,000 (for Nokia's Ozo camera). The first challenge was trying to figure out which cameras to include in our shoot-out. I learned this the hard way during my month-long crash course comparing three different devices: the 360 Freedom (holding six GoPro Hero4 cameras), a Kodak Pixpro SP360 4K Dual Pack Pro (holding two Kodak Pixpro cameras) and the Ricoh Theta S (an single-camera all-in-one solution). But to get those wraparound views, you'll need a special camera (or multiple camera setup) and a large dose of patience.
360 video - that VR-like format that lets you look up, down, left, right, and behind - is all the rage right now. Forget your standard video rules, when shooting in 360 degrees convenience may trump quality.
