Once that’s done, you’ll basically record as normal. You have to do this on the mobile app, as for some odd reason the camera itself doesn’t allow you to select this resolution. By default if you record to RAW mode it won’t be at 5.7K. In order to get this to work you’ll need to ensure that you’re both recording in RAW mode on the camera AND have set the RAW mode to 5.7K. 5.7K Stitching Support:įirst up is the new 5.7K stitching mode. Further, with the new HyperFrame functionality, you can take a 360° video and export a flat 1080p video angle from it, allowing you to get traditional 1080p footage but with all the angles of a 360° video. Now you can use Garmin’s own free VIRB Edit app to not only stitch everything together at 5.7K resolution – but also overlay metrics like speed, g-forces, heart rate, and many more. Those apps were either incredibly expensive, or complex to use (or if easy to use they were limited to 4K anyway). If you wanted higher resolutions you had to manually stitch the two 4k files together using 3rd party apps. Bad stitching manifests itself in many ways, from lopsided lighting to visible seams.Īnyway – back at launch, Garmin only supported in-camera stitching at 4K resolution (not the 5.7K the unit was capable of). How well a company does that will drive whether or not you think 360° video is worth your time. The process of pulling those files together into a single file is called ‘stitching’. With the VIRB 360 though, the camera stitched two 4K video sources together (Side note: in video math, 2x4K does NOT equal 8K, but rather 5.7K.

Previously, even 4K, 360° action cameras didn’t look all that spectacular, because the 4K resolution was stretched over that entire 360° view, so your effective resolution floated between 720p and 1080p. When the VIRB 360 was announced this past spring, it was one of the first single-device 360° action cameras to actually produce higher than 4K resolution video files that looked good.
