SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kandao Technology, a leading innovator in 3D panoramic VR imaging solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of its newest flagship 360 camera, QooCam 3 Ultra. This state-of-the-art camera is the world's first portable 360 camera to offer 8K 10-bit HDR video recording, setting a new benchmark in consumer panoramic imaging technology.
Following the boundary-breaking release of QooCam 8K in 2019, Kandao Technology continues to redefine the limits of imaging with QooCam 3 Ultra. This latest model enhances every aspect of its predecessor, providing an unparalleled imaging experience. QooCam 3 Ultra supports 8K 30fps and 5.7K 60fps ultra-high-definition panoramic video recording, captures 96-megapixel panoramic photos, and introduces 10-bit HLG video support.

Setting a New Standard in 8K Panoramic Imaging
QooCam 3 Ultra sets a new benchmark with its impressive imaging capabilities. Equipped with a powerful 1/1.7" sensor and an F1.6 aperture, it excels in low-light conditions, delivering bright, clear, and detailed images even in dim environments. The camera can record 8K/30fps panoramic video, ensuring each frame is crisp and detailed. With 8K supersampling technology, it also supports 5.7K/60fps high frame rate video recording, providing smooth and fluid dynamic footage. Additionally, QooCam 3 Ultra features 120fps slow-motion recording to capture fleeting moments with clarity.
For photography, QooCam 3 Ultra offers 96-megapixel panoramic photos, utilizing Kandao Tech's proprietary DNG8 and Raw+ algorithms to capture and reproduce intricate image details, making professional imaging more convenient and efficient.
Full-Path HDR Creation
QooCam 3 Ultra introduces 8K HDR video recording with a 10-bit BT 2020 color gamut, capturing over a billion colors for richer color depth and more accurate real-world representation. This full-path 10-bit color processing from capture to storage and editing is a significant advancement in consumer 360 cameras, setting a new standard in panoramic imaging.
The camera features a "Dynamic Range Boost" mode, allowing users to extend the dynamic range by up to two stops and capture 14-bit DNG photos for smooth and natural light transitions. This capability ensures high detail retention in both highlights and shadows, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Versatile and Robust: The Ultimate Action Camera
QooCam 3 Ultra easily switches to single-lens shooting mode for diverse creative scenarios such as vlogs and sports. It incorporates SuperSteady stabilization technology to deliver stable and smooth footage in high-speed activities like cycling and skiing. The "Invisible Selfie Stick" feature allows users to achieve dynamic follow-shot and drone-like perspectives. Additionally, QooCam 3 Ultra boasts an IP68 rating for dustproof and waterproof, making it resilient to harsh weather and environmental conditions. With a longer-lasting 2280mAh battery and a replaceable battery design, users can enjoy extended shooting sessions without power concerns.
Enhanced Audio and User-Friendly Features
QooCam 3 Ultra also shines in audio recording with four directional microphones for immersive spatial audio and supports peripherals like Bluetooth microphones and professional audio equipment. Its 2.19-inch touchscreen allows users to easily adjust settings, switch modes, and preview recordings. Users can also take advantage of features like loop recording, time-lapse photography, interval shooting, and long exposure.
The camera integrates seamlessly with the QooCam 3 App and QooCam Studio 2.0 for efficient panoramic editing and high-quality export.
