the actioncam category is exploding with options in all shapes and sizes and they all have ultra wide-angle lenses to give you a big view of your surroundings the kodak pixpro SP 360 however goes beyond ultra wide I'm Josh grobin with cnet and the SP 360 s lens is wide enough to give you a full 360 degree panoramic view with its large curved lens turn it on and you can start capturing circular 1440 x 1440 resolution video at 30 frames per second then with codex mobile app or desktop software you can unwrap the video and view it manipulate it in several different ways you can export it in one of these other views but at a big hit to quality and it can't be manipulated by others you share the clips with however if the excitement wears off with the 360 degree video you can point the lens directly at your subject and capture regular wide-angle full HD video the body of the camera is water resistant as well as dust shock and freezeproof and can be mounted on its tripod mount or using one of the many options included with the camera there are a few minor annoyances like the fact that you have to connect to or disable Wi-Fi every time you turn the camera on to start recording but if you want an action cam that gives you 360 degree views to experiment with and cut into your regular full HD video this is it I'm Josh Goldman and that's a quick look at the kodak pixpro SP 360
