What makes RS 1-Inch 360 the Best 360 Camera for Matterport Virtual Tours?

Image Quality

To make the best impression on your customers or clients, or to be of maximum use to your employees, you want your 3D space to be as detailed and realistic as possible.

RS 1-Inch 360 can shoot 6K 360° video, as well as 21 megapixel 360 photos. Dual 1-inch CMOS sensors provide top-level imaging and dynamic range, making the camera fantastic at picking out the details of a space, even in low or poor lighting. Another advantage is the option to shoot RAW images, as well as two automatic HDR modes which can also be shot using a RAW file format.

All this puts RS 1-Inch 360 head and shoulders above other 360 cameras around the same size and price.
