The popular Rylo 360° camera-a camera we called the `360 degree camera done right` in our review-is receiving a major update today. The update adds two new features for both iOS and Android users of the Rylo camera and app, with a third feature available only to iOS users for now.
Let`s take them one by one.
180° Mode
The new 180° video mode shrinks the field of view, allowing you to capture 180° video at higher resolution and better image quality than 360° mode allows. According to Rylo, 180° mode `is especially useful for chest-mounted shots or activities/scenarios in which one lens is blocked.`
Bluetooth Remote Capture
The name kind of gives this one away. Remote capture lets you sync your phone to the Rylo camera via bluetooth, which allows you to: switch between recording modes, start or stop a video, and snap a photo, all from the app on your phone.
Obviously, this feature will help if you`ve got the camera mounted somewhere hard to reach.
Motion Blur
A new feature for timelapse shooting, Motion Blur adds a `cinematic` motion blur effect that is actually synced up to the speed of your timelapse shots (more speed = more blur). The effect doesn`t show up while shooting, but will be viewable upon export.
All three features ship today, although Bluetooth Remote Capture is currently only available for iOS, with Android support `coming soon.`
If you own a Rylo 360-degree camera and want to try these features out, all you need to do is update your Rylo app via the App Store or Google Play, then update your camera`s software through the app. And if you haven`t heard about the Rylo and want to know what this camera is all about, check out our full review at the link below.
