Aletta S2C, a 360 camera with extremely high quality photos, hands-on play.

Although there are many choices of 360 cameras in Taiwan Province Province, most of them are consumer-grade models. There are few professional 360 cameras. Aichuang Technology has produced a professional 360 camera with competitive quality and price. Please refer to the bad friend project for detailed product description, so I won't mention it here. This article mainly refers to some finishing after use for the reference of interested friends.

Originally, I didn't have a chance to try Aletta S2C, the highest quality of a 360 camera. But in March this year, I had the opportunity to ride a bike in Southeast Xu Hai, so I tried to coordinate with the manufacturers to borrow products. Manufacturers also tried their best to overcome the difficulties and lend them to me (because there were not many samples made at that time, we had to give them to several buyers to make product adjustments). Fortunately, I have a chance to actually try this. Although the product is still in the pre-production stage, the firmware is still being adjusted. Although the video recording is not enough, it is ready for trial shooting (I talked with the manufacturer at the end of April, and then integrated the firmware one after another, and now the photo effect is better). It's just a pity that on the third day of Xu Hai's cycling around the island in March, due to the condition of the rear wheel ratchet, there were few opportunities to photograph some scenes, which is really a pity. The main play time was less than two days, but fortunately, there was a product experience meeting on the evening of April 20, and some photos were taken on the spot, which should be helpful to understand the products. At present, this project is drawing to a close, and interested friends can go to the bad friends link to see more detailed product information.

If you want to focus on dynamic video recording, although this model also has video recording function, it is not so outstanding, so you can find other suitable options. However, if you are a photographer who mainly takes still photos and only needs video recording, then this camera is quite strong. It can reach the level of12k (66 million pixels), and the price starts from 2. It should be the only one at present.

About appearance

First of all, I want to explain the positioning of this product. This product belongs to professional positioning, which is not common in Taiwan Province Province. Although many 360 cameras can be found in Taiwan Province Province, most of them belong to the positioning of consumer cameras, which is different from S2C. When it comes to professional 360 cameras in Taiwan Province Province, Insta360 Pro may be the fastest one that comes to mind. After all, this is sold on PChome, asking price129,900. Not to mention the sales volume in Taiwan Province Province, there are about 70,000 to 80,000 overseas, such as Panono and IRIS360 pro. And these more professional models, the most important appeal is static pictures, with extremely high resolution. As for dynamic video recording, it is not emphasized, and some even have no video recording function. Of course, the product volume is also relatively large. Taking S2C of this article as an example, we can see that when holding the first picture, the volume is only larger than the general models we often see, such as Ricoh THETA series products.

This product uses two 18650 lithium batteries.

And it is equipped with a bag that matches the size of the fuselage, so you can put the products.

There is a small bag inside, where you can put accessories such as batteries or wipes.

What the product looks like after it is put in.

There is also a design on the back that allows the belt to pass through.

There are five lenses in the product, one of which is directly above and four are on the circumferential side.

From the side of the product, you can see the power button, shutter button and screen of the lens (* * * four are listed on the circumference respectively). The screen can display shooting times, power, etc.

There are USB ports and HDMI ports.

The other side is provided with an external power hole and an external microphone hole.

The memory card is inserted from the bottom.

Real photos and videos of Aletta ·S2C:

Update: Because some readers complain that web browsing is not smooth, the main reason should be that a lot of embedded materials are put on a page, which is too efficient. So, if you need to see real photos and videos, please refer to the section at the end of the bad friend project page, where there are complete real photos, videos and product application examples.

Aletta S2C specification sheet:

Aletta S2C application

Since the professional 360 camera may be unfamiliar to most friends, I also quote the manufacturer's instructions of several applications of Aletta S2C for your reference:

Update: These five applications also have real-life examples, and please go to the end of the bad friend project page.

First, the use of auxiliary driving recorder

Ordinary cars already have driving recorders, and S2C can be used as an auxiliary application, which has the advantage of being able to see the front and back clearly in a wide field of vision.

Second, the empty camera

? Aletta S2C combined with aerial camera.

It can be connected to an aerial camera for aerial shooting, which has different effects from general digital cameras.

Third, become a Google street photographer, increase commercial exposure, or take a Case to help the store shoot.

The image quality of Aletta ·S2C is comparable to that of Google's professional street view car, and in order to promote 360 photography, Google launched the plan of Google Street View Photographer. You can become a Google certified photographer by uploading 50 360 street views continuously. If the store has in-store photos that need 360, it will go directly to Google's list of certified photographers to find the right photographer.

Fourth, the 360 advantage is very suitable for real estate or interior decoration or tourism.

Aletta ·S2C can completely present the surrounding and indoor appearance of the house, unlike ordinary photos of the house on the rental website. Sometimes, I see many photos of rooms on the rental website, but when I arrive at the scene, I find that the pattern is different from what I imagined in my mind. If I use high-quality 360 photos to present it, there will be no such problem. I can completely present people's perspective when they are in the house, and with the super-high image quality of Aletta ·S2C, I can clearly see the layout and decoration of the house.

Fifth, the exclusive APP function

? Aletta S2C exclusive asteroid rotation and disappearance tripod.

Aletta S2C's exclusive asteroid rotating view display function (most 360 cameras can only fix the picture of an asteroid, so it is impossible to zoom in from an asteroid to a general angle of view), while Aletta S2C's special design makes the tripod not appear in the photo at all, presenting a 360-degree photo from a hanging angle. Those who are interested in the product can go to the bad friend project to see more detailed instructions (the project is coming to an end).
