Read our notes on general
The AKASO 360 captures fully immersive 360° video in stunning 5.7K clarity with dual 1/2" 48MP sensors, making it the most affordable 360 camera at $199. Despite lacking the image quality and features of top-of-the-line cameras, it includes important features such as good detail and color accuracy, decent stabilization and stitching, and AI tracking on both mobile and desktop apps. At less than half the price of leading rivals, this entry-level 360 camera punches well above its weight on performance and ease of use, though its lack of rugged build and finicky touchscreen are concerns.
