360 video: Usain Bolt Bronze Last 100m Final at IAAF World Championships London 2017 #IAAFworlds

Posted by – August 6, 2017

Here you can see the 360-degree view filmed from my 1080p Shuoying 360-degree camera on my head. Hopefully the field is visible it might not be because of the contrast, the bright lights on the field. But at least you can see a bit of the atmosphere and the people who were sitting around me. The excitement and the shock to see Usain Bolt lose out by 0.03 seconds to Justin Gatlin from the USA (who has been banned twice from Athletics for taking doping drugs) and losing by 0.01 to Christian Coleman from the USA. The whole stadium was hoping for Usain Bolt to finish his career with a Gold medal at the World Championship 100m. For the best experience of this 360 video, you can watch this video using the free Google Cardboard or similar cheap VR adapter for your phone and using YouTube you can click to split up the video for each eye. The camera I used is the Shuoying 360 camera the 1080p model you can see my Shuoying factory tour here, they are also working on a 4K version which you can watch a video about here #IAAFworlds Thanks S. on Gumtree for the amazing ticket at face value!
