The name of this product is MySight360 VR Camera but you will not be getting 360 video as it covers only 240 degree. However, what is really bad-ass on this product is the software. It is able to stabilize the video horizontal no matter how shaky it might seem. If you are hiking, biking or doing stuff that is shaky, this camera is here to help. With its very small footprint, you can bring it everywhere.
However, as this is a Kickstarter project, do not expect to get it soon. It is undergoing development and might be able to deliver based on their timeline. Looking at the video, MySight360 VR Camera really helps to stabilize the video. However, at the expense of quality (even though it shoots in 4K video).

If you are fast, you can still get it at USD169.

MySight360’s goal is to truly allow for the sharing of the individual memorable experience, therefore was designed to solve three main hiking pain points:

Its built-in LifeLog function will automatically record 10 seconds every 3 minutes, optimizing battery management.

- A.I. highlight video creation – After a full day of hiking, the last thing we want to do is to spend countless hours editing/stitching the final video. With just one touch, MySight360’s App can help you quickly curates the highlights of the trip within the right length you specify for sharing on social media.
