CENTR is a doughnut-shaped panoramic action camera that shoots 360 degrees of footage to ensure that nothing gets left out. CENTR takes footage from four separate 1080p webcams and stitches them into a single stream, which can then be played back at 60 frames per second. CENTR stores recorded material on an internal 8GB flash drive as a MPEG video file. Videos can also be streamed directly from the CENTR to a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet in real time.
This panoramic action camera is ideal for recording trips or adventures as it gives users the ability to record what's taking place around them while still featuring in the video themselves. This makes it perfect for recording activities like biking trips, skydives, snowboarding runs, etc.
