Moscow, Aerial 360 Video testing

Moscow, Aerial 360 Video testing

In early 2011 we developed a method for filming and editing 360 video shot by 4 Canon DSLR cameras and posted an article with technical details on our website.

You can see our first test ride around the Kremlin in the car by following this link.

In this article we talk about 360 video and that it can be shot not only by professional cameras, but also by a device assembled from compact digital cameras, which gives some advantages in size, weight, cost, and can reduce the parallax.

The result you see is what we filmed from the air with such device created by one of our colleagues. This film is most certainly not a masterpiece, it only demonstrates the technical capabilities of 360 video. Something that was impossible for many years is now happening on your screens.

Flights over Moscow are illegal, but you can fly above the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) and on the outskirts. That's why we went to Crocus City Mall in the north-west of the city where several helipads can be found. Please note that in order to view 360 video online you need a powerful computer and fast Internet connection.
