The 360-degree camera market isn’t the largest, but it has its share of enthusiasts. Until recently, it seemed like Insta360 had achieved significant dominance, occupying multiple spots on our best 360-degree cameras list. However, a new challenger has arisen in the form of the Akaso 360.
Akaso is perhaps best known as a maker of cheap action cameras, offering basic but affordable alternatives to the GoPros of the world. The Akaso 360 is the firm’s first 360-degree camera. With dual 1/2-inch 48MP sensors on front and back, it can shoot stabilised 5.7K 360-degree video, from which you can use the Akaso app or Studio software to pull clips in a more standard aspect ratio. You can also shoot using just one of the lenses in 4K or 2.7K, for a more standard, action-camera look. It captures stills at either 72MP or a more manageable 18MP – and again, you can select your preferred composition from the full 360-degree frame.
