SMO 360: An Ultralight 360° Camera for the Pavo360 Drone

Jul 04, 2024

SMO 360 is an ultralight 360 action cam, specially designed for the BETAFPV Pavo360 drone.

Weighing only 55g, SMO 360 is a stripped-back camera that includes just two fisheye lenses and a processor core, powered directly by the drone. It’s super easy to install onto the 3'' cinewhoop Pavo360 drone—just mount it, plug it in and enjoy stunning 5.7K 360-degree videos. Thanks to the camera’s dual-lens design and the drone’s thin frame, the drone appears completely invisible in videos, resulting in more immersive footage.

SMO 360 is developed by FPV drone company BETAFPV using Insta360 technology. The camera is backed up with Insta360’s FlowState stabilization, allowing FPV pilots to get ultra-smooth video via Insta360’s mobile app and desktop software.

The SMO 360 camera and BETAFPV’s cinewhoop Pavo360 are both available to order today via store.insta360.com.

5.7K 360° video capture and invisible drone effect

SMO 360 has a dual-lens design to capture stunning 5.7K 360° videos during the flight. The distance between the two lenses of SMO 360 was increased in order to accommodate more powerful drone motors and make the drone completely invisible throughout the entire flight. SMO 360 is an out-of-the-box solution for FPV pilots who want to explore the immersiveness and creativity of 360-degree FPV drone footage, without any re-engineering needed.

55g ultralight body design

SMO 360 only weighs 55g, which is light enough to be mounted on the Pavo360 3'' drone. A perfectly matched pair, together they provide a smooth flying experience and high-quality 360 footage with the invisible drone effect.

FlowState Stabilization for FPV drones

SMO 360 is backed up with Insta360’s FlowState stabilization, which ensures the video is stable throughout the flight, no matter what maneuvers you attempt. This makes SMO 360 the perfect camera for capturing 360 videos while flying an FPV drone.
