Digitalfoto V360 Spinning Camera Rig: WAY Better than a Motorized Turntable

In this video I review the Digitalfoto V360, a 360 degree spinning camera rig that I think is way better than a typical motorized turntable.

With a traditional motorized turntable, the object spins while the camera, lighting, and background are all stationary. Using something like the Digitalfoto V360, the platform stays still while the camera itself is what moves.

They may seem identical at first, but a rotating camera rig captures totally different footage compared to a motorized turntable.

You can attach the included background board and capture isolated shots, just like a motorized turntable, or remove it to get some really cool parallax and background blur.

You also have the option to mount lights directly to the V360 so they move along with the camera, as well as setting up lights externally, giving you a unique look that you can't get with a motorized turntable.

Since the platform itself doesn't move, you can also interact with objects as you capture footage, adding another layer of interest to your shots.

If you shoot any kind of product or food video, I think the Digitalfoto V360 is a must-have, but what do you think? Is the footage from a rotating camera rig worth that different?
