I’ve relied on this camera for 95% of my trips, using two units—one retired after it stopped turning on. It has proven incredibly robust, enduring 200+ hours of recording in various weather conditions. Despite a cracked screen from a fall, the lens guard protected the lenses, allowing me to continue capturing high-quality imagery. This gear has been essential in bringing immersive 360° experiences to life.

Yi 360VR – Had connection issues with phone and GPS, making it impractical. Used for only one trip.
GoPro Fusion – Bulky and heavy, but delivered good video quality.
Ricoh Theta – Suffered from a red dot issue due to sun exposure. The non-replaceable battery made it inconvenient for long trips.
Powered by a Bosch motor, my bike has covered over 10,000 km and is still going strong. Equipped with a backpack hanger to carry extra batteries and gear, it also allows me to securely attach a monopod for 360° capture. This setup enables long recording sessions with minimal effort—covering 50 km feels effortless, even for those who aren’t super fit. It’s been an essential part of making extended Street View trips possible! 🚴♂️
