That extra size could make it a bit more awkward to mount in tight spaces, but you can otherwise put the Fusion anywhere you’d use another GoPro camera. It has a similar depth to a Hero camera, but is both wider and taller, and the ubiquitous GoPro mount is attached directly at its base, rather than being part of a separate case. It features GoPro’s recognizable two-button interface and front LCD information display, but lacks a monitor or touchscreen. It shares a design language with the Hero5 Black and Hero6 Black cameras, being wrapped in a similar grippy, soft-touch material and finished in the familiar, understated, two-tone matte gray.
Design and specificationsĪlthough the shape is unique, the Fusion is unmistakably a GoPro. But unlike most 360-degree cameras, we can make a more compelling argument for why you would want a Fusion. While it’s debatable whether or not Apple succeeded with the first-generation Watch, a common refrain among reviewers and users was, “It’s great - for a smartwatch.” Our praise for the Fusion is similarly reserved: It has the potential to be the best 360 camera out there, but it’s still a 360 camera - if you didn’t need one before, you probably still don’t. We’re looking for a reason to want this thing, just as we looked to Apple to give us a can’t-live-without-it smartwatch. We want to know if the Fusion 360 camera can finally reveal the true potential of immersive video, something that has escaped most of the other industry players. It wasn’t the first company to put a piece on the board, but now all eyes are on its next move. Manufacturers tout these products as the next big thing, but have continually fallen short on their promises to deliver another technological revolution. The novelty of the technology gets us excited, even if we’re unsure how that technology fits into our lives or if it brings tangible improvements over our existing devices.
