This is Ben, this is Rylo and without further to do here are all the pros and
cons I can think of of the Rylo 360 camera the first thing Rylo has going
for it is the uber simple design there's hardly any buttons on this thing you
just hold down the main button to turn it on and vibrates a little Hello
vibration it only has two buttons one there and one there this one changes
modes from photo to video and this one records and you know what that's it
there's no other buttons and no other settings talk about taking simplicity to
the extreme so we've pressed the button and we see that bright red LED when we
are recording video now let's take a photo
micro USB port there here we have a battery latch micro sd goes in right
next to the battery BAM you'll notice there was no tripod thread on the actual
camera which is why you will need this this is a mini selfie stick at first I
thought this would be a nuisance but I've actually grown to really like this
selfie stick you can't see it in your photos and at the end there we have our
tripod mount it does make it kind of awkward attaching this to longest selfie
sticks but it works and I haven't had any issues so far so overall in terms of
design it's super simple however that's kind of refreshing I like the really
simple design anyone can use this camera is it too simple yes with this simple
design comes no other options for changing modes changing frame rates
resolutions color profiles or anything you're stuck on one set of settings for
photo and one set of sayings for video and that's it you can change a little
bit later on but otherwise you can't change anything within the camera so
it's one apiece next let's look at resolution for photos it's 6000 x 3000
which is about average and for videos is 3840 x 2160 oh did
you catch that 2160 normal 360 video is a 3840 x 1920 which fits with a two by
one equirectangular aspect ratio with this it's a 16 by 9 aspect ratio which
does mean more overall resolution however it will add
or steps you're post-production workflow every time you bring this 4k footage
into premiere whichever editor you use you're gong to have to resize it to the
two by one aspect ratio so why would they do this well from what I hear from
the Garmin VirB which has the same resolution for 4k is the more pixels you
have vertically when you compress that down to the actual 2:1 aspect
ratio that it should be you're going to get slightly more clarity on the
vertical plane than you would have gotten otherwise it's not well explained
it all with either of these 360 cameras however technically I guess you're going
to get slightly sharper resolution and that's really debatable so I'm not gonna
put this as a pro or a con this is overall average resolution for both
photo and video next is the amazing feature that we've all been waiting for
and that's the rylos awesome stabilization this stabilization is
next-level it's like nothing I've ever seen before
when I put it to the test against five of its closest competitors it wiped the
floor with all of them even the GoPro Fusion it beats significantly and this
stabilization is crazy good I have no idea how they do it but you can shake
this camera around like crazy and it'll be almost dead still with almost no
motion blur shake or any kind of distortion this is unquestionably its
best feature and it's leading the industry right now with it's amazing six
axis stabilization this is a feature almost worth buying this camera alone
for and I've shot some stunning footage utilizing this amazing stabilization and
just looks so amazing it's such a pleasure to look at it's a pleasure to
shoot stabilization this good is a key ingredient to creating social media
friendly videos that will get eyes on your work really fast this is gimbal
like stabilization it's like I have a gimbal underneath this camera because
it's this good this also means it's an amazing hyperlapse camera which means a
moving time-lapse and it really is hard to go wrong with this camera all you
need to do is point shoot and walk and you have an amazing piece of cinema
almost like you have a crane or a dolly in your hand and to me this gives Rilo a
cinematic look which I'm still yet to see from a 360 camera since this camera
came out all the other companies took notice and they significantly improve
their stabilization they really saw what six axis stabilization could do and
they're all trying to replicate that with their cameras so while I'd say this
is unique to the Rylo right now in a few months time this could be
something that all of them have you can tell this is still a work in progress
camera because even with that amazing stabilization I've noticed at the
beginning and end of clips there's a slight movement almost like the camera
is moving into place to stabilize then at the end it moves out of place while
this isn't an issue for shorter clips because you're probably going to use the
middle section of it anyway the camera breaks some really long clips into
shorter sections so if you're shooting 30 or 40 minutes it'll break it up into
five or six separate clips this means it's going to adjust at the beginning
and end of each of these clips creating a shaky effect in the middle I've got no
doubt they're going to fix this but at the moment this is an issue next we have
stitching and I've found the stitching to be really good in the vast majority
of situations you'd think with the thicker camera body that stitching would
be an issue because there is such a distance between the two lenses
well I haven't really found this to be the case when looking back in my footage
I've noticed both near and far have stitched perfectly fine people walk past
the Rilo as I've been doing hyper lapses and they've not been cut off it hasn't
been perfect in some photos I've seen a very obvious seam line but overall I'd
say it's totally possible for stitching here's what Rylo footage looks like
overall it does a decent job at exposing the image of portraying colors
highlights shadows contrast however it also seems to be covered in a creamy
brownie kind of tinge they've improved this since the camera was first released
however this does cause the footage to look desaturated after a bit of color
correction in Premiere I was able to fix me most of this is looking a lot more
vibrant now there are still shades of that brownie creamy color on the
right-hand side of this video however as a whole I see no problem this is totally
usable when I add in a warp stabilizer in Premiere just for fun we have a nice
fun little shot here I really like what I'm seeing my biggest issue with this
shot is when you watch it in full screen you're going to notice that loss of
resolution and the colors do look kind of blotchy unfortunately most 360
cameras are going to do this when you reframe so it's probably best to use
Rylo for social media only here's Rylo at night and yeah it's
not great at all is it not only is it grainy but you can see there's a
strobing effect around that street light and this footage is not
be nice this is one of the many reasons why limiting manual controls of the
camera is a bad idea because if you were able to control ISO
and shutter speed and aperture you'd be able to get something that looks a lot
better and the aperture is f2.8 which is the worst out of any 360 camera I can
think of so just don't take this thing out at night this brings me into its
potentially biggest flaw and that is there's no wireless connection to your
phone you have to connect it by cable every time you want to download footage
you have to plug in this cable put it into your iPhone and download like that
while this will be faster when actually downloading the footage it's a pain
because it means you're always going to have to have the cable with you which if
you're a forgetful person like me is not going to happen this also means there's
no live preview when you're shooting so you're just gonna have to guess what it
looks like and hope it does a good job and look in the vast majority of cases
it's done an excellent job however it's good just having peace of mind and
knowing that your shot looks okay and because of this connection issue makes
your photos a lot harder to take there's only one option for self-timer and
that's one second so you have one second to go like this which doesn't really
leave you time to go anywhere other than arm's length away from your camera by
the way with some of these smaller issues I'm having I'm sure they probably
will fix them they do seem like obvious things to fix I'll actually take cameras
at face value whatever is there at the time they released the camera is what
you should expect the camera to have forever hopefully they fix a lot of
these issues but I wouldn't count on it you never know what the companies are
going to do and sometimes it could take them six months to fix something basic
like a self timer without said I have taken some decent photos with it like
this one here I show with the Rylo that looks quite good it looks almost
identical to all the other photos I took when I compared this with the seven
other cameras so it can do a good job however like I mentioned you can only
really have the camera in your hand at this point this brings me to my next set
of issues there isn't any desktop software for this camera yet which means
you have to do all of your stitching on your phone because this camera is iPhone
only right now and there should be an Android version in the next few months
it means you're going to have one of the latest versions of iPhone to use it and
you'll have to rely on your phone to do the vast majority of post-production
this includes downloading your footage and stitching and if you think about it
if you shoot 64 gigabytes of content on this and you download to your phone
you're going to need 64 gig free and 64 gigabytes is a lot to spare on my phone
I have a 256 gigabyte iPhone 10 and it's already
pretty full but I've noticed every time I've had to download my Rylo footage
I've had to delete a shit ton of my other videos and photos and what makes
things even more difficult is after you download to the app you also have to
save to your camera which means you'll need to double the amount of space in
order to get your footage to your computer eventually so you'll need about
128 gigabytes free unless you delete Clips as you go and do it clip by clip
which can be quite annoying that cons list is getting pretty long well there
is one awesome thing that I'm going to add to the pros list and that is the app
the rila app is one of the best 360 camera apps I've ever used it's such a
pleasure to use you can tell they value simplicity and it's so easy to pick up
and use if an idiot like me can use it then anyone can use it now check this
out say I want to follow my face all I do is hold down my face and go follow
this so it'll go ahead and motion track the entire clip keeping me in the dead
center of frame the whole time and as I move around it stays locked onto my face
I found this to be probably the best reframing app out there for any 360
camera it makes it so easy and you can use it and neither vertical or
horizontal modes I would almost call this Insta 360 Studio from mobile
because you can create multiple points within that longer clip and transition
from A to B to C within your 360 environment you guys know I love my
mobile workflow and I think Rylo are really leading the way in keeping
everything on your phone in terms of 360 video production they're not there quite
yet there's still a lot you can't do but this is pretty incredible given I've
just done complex 360 camera moves using only a phone look at it it's beautiful
so silky smooth or yes I could go to sleep to that
[Snoring - Snoring] [Zzzzzzzzz]
here you can create a second window if you want to show two viewpoints at once
you can change the speed if you do want to do a hyperlapse it'll speed it up and
you can export straight from your phone you can adjust the colors and hopefully
get rid of that pooh brown and make it more of a light shade of peanut butter
Brown another cool thing is you can level the horizons so if you shot it and
it looks slightly out of whack you can level it like that exporting your photos
and videos they're super easy as well I really like what they're doing here you
can export as a 360 photo you can export as a cropped view so if you want to
punch in and make that your photo or if you want to turn into a tiny planet you
can export however you want something else I really like is if you go to more
you can now airdrop your photo to your computer or your iPad or anywhere else
you want it's details like this that make the workflow faster even though the
workflow isn't the best in other areas I would say this redeems it a little bit
oh and by the way don't use this up for tiny planet so creates the pancake
effect or it squeezes your head so you look like you're a human pancake
I sent Rylo a message on Instagram and told them to fix this so hopefully they
will but for now you want to export to your camera roll and edit in a proper
editor like Theta+ or Roll World so here are the pros and cons as they stand
and there's slightly more cons than pros or the pros are really good and I would
say they probably are worth buying the camera for something I feel like I need
to bring up is something that detective Michael from 360 rumors discovered and
that is the Rylo are naughty boys and girls because before the camera was
released at all to the public they went to Amazon and they bought fake reviews
so they're listing started with about 18 fake reviews all 5 stars saying how
amazing the camera is and the profiles ended up being fake so while that
doesn't have anything to do with the camera in my hand it does make me a
little bit skeptical of Rylo and look they are a startup company so I guess
they need all the help they can get even if it's with fake Amazon reviews I'm
sure they've learned their lesson the detective has told them off for the
naughty boys and girls they are so I don't think they'll do that again in the
future but it's something worth mentioning so in conclusion this is an
awesome camera and in my opinion all of these pros are worth buying this camera
because at the moment it stabilizes better than any camera and it reframes
in the app better than any camera and those are two things if you're into
extreme sports and reframing your extreme sports those two things alone
will win this camera for you for me someone that couldn't
ride in my bike to save his life I'm probably not going to use it for these
purposes however this I know this camera for me is going to be a b-roll machine
the hyperlapse is just so amazing and hypnotic I know they're going to make
for awesome b-roll segments in between bigger segments of some of my videos who
doesn't want beautiful cinematography and the reframed hyper lapses alone are
going to get you those awesome b-roll shots if you're a blogger this is going
to be an awesome camera if you're into sports this will be a great camera too
outside of hyper-lapses and re-framing I probably wouldn't buy this camera to be
honest it's only for those things and for me those actually make it worthwhile
because I'm active on YouTube and Facebook and making videos every single
day so if you don't see potential in these two features then the Rylo is the
wrong camera for you as a former filmmaker and cinematographer being able
to get those amazing hyperlapse shots make it worthwhile for me if I could
have done this back in film school I wouldn't have needed a Red Epic or a Red
One I could have used a Rylo and got an amazing cinematic shots
I mean look who isn't going to choose a Red camera but if you can do it for five
hundred dollars and get a really awesome cinematic shot then it's something worth
considering if you like your quirky cinematography then I think the Rylo is
going to be a really good option and if you like sticking to your phone and yes
I do mean iPhone only right now then this will also be an awesome camera is
it worth $500 yes I would pay $500 for these awesome features alone and I did I
know I'm going to be using this in my future vlogs my future videos and I know
this is going to give my videos that next level production value will this be
my go to camera hell no there's another camera that's
going to be my go to camera and I'm not naming any names be sure to join the
Rylo Facebook group all the latest discussion about the camera as well as
some helical samples you guys are going to love I'll put a link in the
description to where you can find the Rylo on Amazon and now it's time to do the
ultimate stabilisation test
