GoPro Fusion is a 360-degrees camera that complements the GoPro Hero series. Labelled as the most versatile GoPro ever, which means this model has a lot of features to explore! The key feature is the Fusion's ability to capture 360-degree images like never before.
GoPro proclaims the Fusion as "six cameras in one", giving the user 360-degree image capture in 5.2 K resolution at 30p and 3K at 60p. The six cameras onboard help to achieve that, as well as 360-degree audio to go with the images. The resolution of traditional still photos is 18 MP.
A much-talked about feature as the Fusion was introduced was the OverCapture feature, which basically allows the user to "punch out" regular video images from the spherical footage that the Fusion provides.
The Fusion is inclusive as well, with Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi included. Don't forget the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass... they're in there as well.
One of the big selling points for the Fusion is it is compatible with most GoPro mounts. Talking about compatibility, the Fusion works through the GoPro app.
The GoPro Fusion is built to capture action and needs to be able to handle a bit of rough and tumble. The body of the Fusion is robust as a result, and waterproof up to five metres.
In this day and age of voice control, you'll hardly be surprised to read that the Fusion can operate through voice control in 10 languages.
Capturing all that 360-degree action requires great battery life, and the Fusion delivers with continuous 5.2K resolution shooting for 70 minutes, or 3K resolution for 80 minutes.
Other highlights include built-in Wi-fi, a waterproof-design down till 5 metres and the ability to transform spherical footage into flat footage using the OverCapture feature.

I love this camera. I've been excited about 360 photography for a while now but it hasn't been mainstream enough for an amateur user. The GoPro Fusion is changing all that. Quite simply with this camera you can record high quality video and stills and upload them to YouTube and social media with...
Bought for an Xmas present for the person who has everything, only had a quick look but seems an amazing gadget and I am sure he's going to love it!
GoPro wasn't nearly first to the 360-degree camera space, but the Fusion breathes some life into the medium. Yes, there's the initial whizbang factor of 360, and VR in general, but is it sustainable Like fads that have come and gone-3D, I'm looking at you-it's wearing out its welcome.
Captures 360-degree video at 5.2K resolution; OverCapture brings life to 360 footage; Photo and time-lapse modes; Rugged build; Strong image stabilization; Compatible with GoPro mounting system
Pricey; Video stitching requires some serious horsepower; Mobile OverCapture editing tools need a little work; Huge file sizes; Gets very warm when recording
The camera is simple to operate. Stitching the files takes some time (on my MacBook pro) but its worth it for the flexibility it offers as a b-camera on shoots. With the lenses sticking out the way they do, you do have to treat this camera with kid gloves (by keeping it in the case and not setting...
GoPro has finally launched the Fusion action camera. Like the Hero and Session, it's designed to be strapped to virtually any part of you of your kit - your bike, shoes, car or any number of other objects via accessory mounts.
OverCapture 'pan within footage' software is brilliant; Footage looks fantastic once edited in app; Waterproof and durable build; Easy to shoot; Very versatile; Fusion Grip included
No OverCapture for Android (yet; It costs a lot; Learning curve is steep if you've never shot 360 degree before; Desktop solution is hard work
GoPro is already well-known for its Hero action cameras that can withstand being submerged and thrown around with reckless abandon. The Fusion, however, sees the company's first foray into 360-degree VR capture.
Great image quality; OverCapture delivers compelling traditional footage; Easy to use
Transferring footage through the app is slow and fiddly; Limited Android support for OverCapture; Relatively expensive
Can GoPro's debut 360° action cam bring virtual reality creation from a hobbyist niche to the mainstream
Over-capture mode; Full-featured apps and software; Rubberised & waterproof design; Two free microSD cards
Lacks 100fps slo-mo; 5.7K is now standard; Large physical size; No live-streaming; Constant connection issues
I bought this camera a while ago, and it's a great bit of kit. Definitely a lot of fun for me and the kids. Works well, easy to use regardless of whether you've owned a gopro before or not. My issue with it is there's only about 10 phones that are compatible with the camera when using the app.
I had very high hopes with the Fusion. I am a google local guide so I only work with 360 cameras. The fusion does do a great job at taking videos and pictures, but that's where it STOPS. Starting off just to let you know I have a top of the line Mac Book Pro, just so you know what I'm working with.
