Keymission 360 test dive Belize 2016



We tested the underwater features of the Nikon KeyMission 360 4K, and we're very disappointed with the result. You can see for yourself. You will see some wipes, from one shot to the other.
The stitch is very visible and bad. Even worse, you can't manually stitch the footage yourself.
Such a pity. Build of the camera and accessoires are great. You will need to learn the "morse" code of nikon as there are only lights indicating the status of the camera, and no menu.
It does perform better on land, and when it is not moving.
Comparing it with other cheap 360 solutions out there, the Theta's auto-stitch was way better. Even my Insta360 does 10 times a better job. But you can't really take those underwater, and the Nikon's video resolution is way better then the last 2.
We can recommend Belize Diving Services.
