Review on 360 Waterproof VR Camera GoPro Fusion - Spherical 5.2K HD Video and 18MP Photo Capturing by Mike Martz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't work with proprietary software - makes it extremely difficult to use

From what I can tell from my gopro mobile app, the camera takes great 360 photos and short videos. But the big caveat is that the Fusion Studio desktop software, which you have to use to dump all those huge images and videos onto your desktop, just doesn't work. It's been hours trying to connect my camera to my Mac and it still doesn't work. It is NOT just plug and play. This is clearly a known issue as the connection issue comes up several times on the gopro online help forums but there is simply no real working help available. It's very frustrating - you're wasting your time filming and relying on the camera, and you can't upload your footage without taking out the cards and unloading - a much more complicated method than with a regular GoPro or any other digital camera. It's a shame for such an expensive camera.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Easy to maintain
