Nice new 360 Camera for Mapillary: PANOX V2

Hey, looks interesting indeed! :slight_smile:

@boris

  • Can you lock ISO speed and/or exposure time manually? :white_check_mark: full photometric control
  • Is the 5 fps mode in video or image mode? :white_check_mark: video
    • The examples you have provided suffer from ugly red and blue artifacts (hence I’m assuming video mode) on grey surfaces.
  • Can you set time lapse mode in image mode?
    • If so, what is the slowest and fastest fps?
  • Can you manually set the JPEG compression ratio? :white_check_mark: sort of: will export to DNG in the future
  • Can you manually set the video compression ratio?
    • What format does the camera encode video to (h.264, HEVC, etc)? :white_check_mark: h.264 and HEVC
  • Can you set the chroma subsampling factor in image and/or video mode manually?
    • If not, what chroma subsampling factor does the camera output? I hope it is 4:4:4 in image mode. :white_check_mark: sort of: via DNG
  • Is the transparent outer lens cover made out of plastic or glass?

Btw, stitching looks fine to me. :+1: A standard tripod mount is definitely a must on such a camera.

Image mode supports 72 MP, which is finally good enough for Mapillary purposes. @boris Can you capture some 72 MP image mode imagery for Mapillary, possibly in time lapse mode? Thank you!
