The Meta Three is a 12.5K 360-Degree Camera with Live Streaming
The state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) camera also boasts very low parallax (stitching issues), ProRes and RAW, electronic focusing, and live streaming capability.
“The Meta Three not only has 12.5k resolution but it is sharp, the detail from this camera is amazing. Also, it’s highly controllable — we can set the focus and aperture digitally and on the fly,” writes the company.
