Hi, primarily, it is meant to be used for videos for VR headsets, but I really liked the option to create "normal" videos for "normal" viewing on TH-cam - that's the reason why I made this piece... Jan
I got the 5.2mm dual fisheye lens for canon's full frame lineup and its a really good lens to capture reality. In fact combined with a r5c you can record 8k 60fps vr videos, where others can only do 30fps. Canon is saving vr video with that lens. The newer one (3.9mm) is a bit flawed though, you only get 144°fov, compared to 180° and the cameras that its used on cant even record in 8k. Its a bit of a shame.
The R5c is not giving you actual 8k. Far from it. It is physically impossible. Canon is just stitching to an 8k output. This lens is a smart move as the ppd will probably be on par with the 5.2mm. If an 8k aspc sensor ever comes out it will blow past the 5.2mm.
@@ProtoVisionXR I dont know, it records a bit over 8k, but the lens is projecting 2 circular images on the lens, which does result in lose pixels. So when it gets converted to equirectangular projection you are not getting real real 8k. It is the same for this new 3.9mm lens though, you dont get the full sensor.
It is only flawed if you need more FOV. The R5C solution if over $5000 if you are just buying the camera for that and then you cen get the R7 solution is half as much. Becouse of less FOV you get an effective Resulotion of over 5K when compared to the full frame 180FOV solution and you get Auto Focus that is not available in the full frame 3D lens. The wider FOV means the picture is spread out and for 180 you will need at least 6k but at 144 FOV 4K is not as bad as it sounds. 60FPS can be important but not as important as it is for 360VR. Of course 60FPS is important on any camera if you want shoot fast moving subjects or want to add some Slow Motion. So bottom line buy the tool you need that falls within your budget. Some will pick the R7 even if they can afford the R5C solution just becouse of the Auto Focus.
😄Thanks for sharing such an informative video on using the Canon R7 with the Canon RF-S 3.9mm Dual Fisheye VR Lenses! Congratulations on successfully uploading your VR 180 video to TH-cam-it's really impressive. I’ve been struggling with getting my own VR 180 footage from the EOS R7 onto TH-cam. I’d really appreciate it if you could share how you managed to upload your video without any problems. Any tips or steps you followed would be incredibly helpful! Thank you so much in advance for your help, and keep up the great work with your channel!
Hi, thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply! Well, I was struggling with formats and uploads as well and after a couple of days I concluded that the new version of the Canon software had some bugs... Which is not much useful answer, I know, but I honestly think we have to wait for Canon to fix some details.... If you find a way after all, please, let me know... Best, Jan
@@jan-rybar Thanks so much for getting back to me and sharing your experience! It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one facing these challenges with the Canon software. It’s a bit frustrating, but I guess we’re all in the same boat, waiting for Canon to iron out these bugs. I’ll definitely keep experimenting, and if I find a solution or workaround, I’ll be sure to share it with you. If you come across any updates or tips in the meantime, please let me know as well. Let’s hope Canon releases a fix soon! Thanks again, and take care!
May be a silly question but will the 3.9mm work with the Canon C70 or Red Komodo which are only Super 35mm? I love the RAW and XF-AVC format/codecs. How do you find the VR Utility - seems badly designed. I am thinking of developing my own App for the AVP.
@@delasse3178 Thanks but neither Canon nor RED are prepared to say what that setting is. Also how do you then handle the files? Canon are saying it will only work with the R7 - obviously to make sure people only buy that camera. They are not at all helpful - even to sell the lens.
Isn't that for making 3D photos?

it'll work with the komodo on a particular setting
