Rylo 4+

Wishlist

I like this camera and app, but I do have a wishlist for it. First item would be to be able to copy the 360 files back to an SD card in the camera from the app (would love to keep the edits and free up phone space). Second would be an iPad version of the app. Third would be the ability to “follow this” on a grid instead of keeping the object always dead center of the shot. Overall, though, it’s pretty solid for what it is and seems to be improving with each update.

Developer Response ,

Rylo just got better, and our new features are free! Rylo now captures in 5.8K; we updated our Points feature; capture a photo from a video in the app; videos now split at 8GB or 16GB on SD cards larger than 32GB; now select which lens to use for 180° capture mode; and a desktop app for MacOS, with Windows coming soon.

Great fun, excellent customer service

Con:
The video quality may not be quite as high as you may expect, but when consider that the thing is capturing more than a dozen times the viewing angle of the regular iPhone camera, it seems reasonable.

Pro:
Shooting mostly absent-mindedly, then being able to easily compose your camera movements after the fact, is just magical. The controls to move where the view frame of the final shot is looking are super simple, but very powerful.

The object tracking is a little hit and miss. If your subject area is remotely visually similar to the surroundings, the app will struggle. If your subject is visually distinct, this works great.

The directional instructions are much more reliable, and I’ve found telling the view to ‘look here’ is usually the way to go.

The company:
I’ve been very impressed with the company’s support responses and responsiveness. They answer quick, and seem truly determined to provide a great experience. I only very rarely take the time to write reviews, but these guys have earned it. Good camera, great app, excellent service. I look forward to where Rylo is headed.

Better than GoPro in every way!

This has easily become my favorite video camera to use everywhere. Finally a camera and app that reinvents unobtrusive filming. I just mount and record. No more worries about aiming and capturing the right moment, the software takes cares of it all. The software allows you to go back and aim the scene at any point and the stabilization is the best I’ve tested. The colors are easily tuned and editing is superior to GoPro. My only comment is that low light and night shots are not up iPhone X quality, but better than most. Well worth the $500!
