Overview

The SP360 4K is a cube-style action/VR camera (made under license by JK Imaging) with a single ultra-wide fisheye lens offering roughly 235° coverage. It records 4K video at 30 fps and captures stills (sensor marketed as 12 MP; stills around 8 MP). Designed for single-camera 360-ish capture or paired with a second unit for full spherical stitching.

Handling & usability

• Compact cube design with dome lens; feels sturdy.
• On-camera menus workable but limited — smartphone app usually easier for settings.
• Good accessory ecosystem; twin-pack offers remote control for synchronized recording.
• No advanced in-camera stabilization beyond electronic correction; mounting and stabilization in post often necessary.

Image & video quality (real-world)

• 4K footage provides good detail for action/VR use at 30 fps; colors are generally pleasant but not class-leading.
• Wide dynamic range is modest; highlights can clip and shadow noise appears in low light.
• Sharpness across the fisheye is strong near center but corners and extreme angles show distortion and softness (typical for extreme fisheyes).
