Introduction to the Fusion and OverCapture
The GoPro Fusion ships with an extendable selfie stick that doubles as a small tripod.
GoPro may have jump started the action camera market, but the Fusion is different than all the GoPros that came before it: it`s a true 360 camera. Instead of using a single forward-facing lens, its two ultra-wide angle lenses capture a full 360 spherical image of everything around it.
Unlike most 360 cameras, the Fusion is designed to create both spherical and standard HD videos, potentially offering action camera users more capability than they can get from their current action camera - something that`s become progressively difficult in a highly commoditized market. If action/adventure is your game and your workflow is geared towards mobile and web, the GoPro Fusion may be the camera you´re looking for.

What makes the Fusion most exciting, and what is arguably its main selling point, is `OverCapture`, a feature that allows you to pull standard 1080p HD videos from anywhere within the 360 sphere.
This is an entirely different way of producing video content. Since you`re capturing every single direction at once, you can frame your shot after you`ve shot it. For an action camera user, this unshackles you from the confines of recording a single, unchanging perspective and opens the doors to generating complex camera moves for more compelling footage.

To be fair, the Fusion isn`t the f ...
