New Funding Goals for Sphericam 2 Announced

Just a quick update about Sphericam 2 which I have written about before. Sphericam 2 met its $150K funding goal on Kickstarter in less than a week, and has already received endorsement from Oculus CTO John Carmack.

Sphericam 2’s new stretch goals have been set at $250,000, $360,000 and $720,000. They are as follows:

  • $250,000: At a quarter million dollars, every backer at $1,499 and above will be able to choose from one of 12 colors for their camera. New colors being made available include red, blue, orange, pink and yellow.
  • $360,000: At this funding level, every Sphericam 2 will be made dust-proof and water-resistant (IP67), allowing use in any kind of weather, and allowing even more varied use.
  • $720,000: Every Sphericam 2 will be upgraded to have a USB type-C data/charging port. This is the latest and the best USB connection. USB type-C has the highest bandwidth and power. This type of USB is better for live streaming and much better for charging the camera while shooting.
