So...

Does it capture STEREO content??

Else, this belongs in the VR/Action Cam forum...

Well looking at the limited information on the referenced web page, there is no mention of 3D or stereo.  But more to the point, looking at the device's configuration, any 3D effect would have to come from the overlapping of field of view of each adjacent pair of lenses.   I guess that could work, but take some serious processing to yield a usable stereoscopic image given all the built-in distortion of the fish eye lenses.

Not to mention the obvious stitching errors that will be hard to ignore!

Iall honesty, I cannot "see" (from the link or the images of the cam) that this cam can do ANY stereoscopy.

Examples, please

"Pilot Era is world's first 8K All-in-One 360 VR Camera for professional."

It looks neat but I think Insta360 would take issue with the world's first claim.
