The Z Cam S1 is a professional 360 camera and an industry favorite at that-and it’s now available for $500 less.
The camera was originally priced at $2499 but just recently the price dropped to $1999.
However, the new price does not include Z Cam’s stitching software, WonderStitch, but you can also use Autopano Video Pro or Mistika VR to stitch footage shot with the Z Cam S1.
The price drop reflects increasing competition in the professional 360 camera market.
The Z Cam S1 can capture 6K monoscopic 360 video. At the time of launch, the Z Cam S1 offered among the simplest workflows in the field with its synced lenses and one-button shutter.
Here’s a sample from the Z Cam S1:
