Meet Hydra II
the world’s only stitch-free 360° multi-camera system
Stitching is done at the level of the lenses, so that you get a professional quality stitch every time.

Stitching:
Image Stitching is a process of to produce a segmented panorama or a high resolution image.
In countless product releases, 360-degree camera manufacturers are constantly boasting about “instant stitching” capabilities. However, to date, no manufacturer has succeeded in creating results that match what professionals would expect.
Since 360-degree cameras were first invented, the holy grail has been to develop a camera that requires no stitching. Until Circle Optics, no manufacturer has succeeded in creating results that match what professionals would expect.
