Another wide angle camera on Indiegogo

There's another quirky wide angle camera open to investment on Indiegogo at: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/panono-panoramic-ball-camera

The camera has some interesting features:
  • It's designed as a ball to be thrown
  • It takes pictures automatically at the top of its thrown arc
  • It takes a full 360 degree spherical picture
  • The full image size is 72 megapixels!
  • It can also be used attached to a "stick" or tripod
  • There's a button on the ball to trigger photos
  • Or, you can control it by a wifi App
The basic price is $549 USD + $104 USD VAT for EU delivery and it won't be available until September 2014...

The Ricoh Theta 360 camera is already available to buy direct (or through Amazon) and by comparison costs just £329 GBP including VAT - but its images are only around 6 megapixels - see: https://theta360.com/en/
