There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Recent firmware updates add autofocus (which is great, it was badly needed) and some other nice quality of life features. I was pleased that the unit I received had the current firmware already installed and was clearly a recent manufacture.
The camera itself is very small, easily fitting in the palm of my hand, in fact it is almost too small to be comfortable handling. The removable 3d viewer attachment adds considerable size however it's not really needed (or desirable) for actual shooting time, being meant to review images in 3d. I find myself using the selfie stick just to make handling the camera easier, and it adds a little extra stabilization. There is some image stabilization but anyone wanting to shoot more serious video might want a gimbal. There is a standard tripod mount on the bottom of the camera.
There is a good quality screen on back with touchpad functionality. Response is a bit slow but it's not too bad. Startup time is still quite long, around 15-20 sec from a cold start, however there is now a kind of 'standby' state which reduced battery drain.
Which leads to the most problematic aspect of the camera - the battery life. In theory it can last a few hours. But that's a very short time if you consider using this for travel photography etc. Happily the batteries are small, reasonably priced and easily swappable. You'll want 2 for sure, and ideally 4 if you plan on all-day activities like hiking/tourism etc.
The image quality is... ok. Not amazing, not bad, just average with the added bonus of being stereoscopic. There is now reasonable autofocus, a set of focus distances for fixed focus, auto exposure with several stops of exposure compensation, and a basic timer. Stills are 4000x3000 (per stereo frame) but jpegs: supposedly a dneg option is in the works but who knows if that will actually happen. Video res is lower (vertical resolution reduced) but of course stereoscopic, with MP4/h.264 and stereo 16 bit AAC/48hz audio. The lens is f1.8 with a 66 degree FOV.
This is definitely not an action camera - you will want it on ahead of time, and fast moving subjects are subject to blur. That said, I was able to get some very nice shots of my dogs playing, and some beautiful images of fall leaves and details of my home and garden. And the thing is, when the shots come out well, in 3d they are MAGICAL. You are transported there, in the moment, and a good shot can be breathtaking despite the rather simplistic consumer nature o0f the camera.
Overall color/exposure is very "point and shoot" but that's to be expected. The Iphone app is up to date and has some very limited color correction modes, as well as acting as a remote shooting app for tripods etc. It's fine, nothing unexpected or groundbreaking but it's a handy and useful addon. The connection to the phone is via a wifi hotspot or over a local network.
The camera can export directly to social media including facebook and youtube, or connect to a pc via usb, or export images and video via the phone app..
The stereo quality itself is good, like most stereo photographers will know you won't want to be too close to the subject (less than 4 feet gets uncomfortable), happily there are options for both convergence correction, calibration, and parallel stereo. There are a couple of different image export modes but basically it's SBS.
The attachable stereo viewer is pretty cool, and provides a nice option for viewing stereoscopic results in the field. It's not strictly necessary to shoot (I leave mine behind) but it's a great way to see your stereo results directly from the camera, and it's both good quality and functional. Overall the build quality of this camera is good, though it's a pity there is no way to cover the lens - it becomes important to store the camera somewhere the lenses can't be scratched. A velvet-like bag is included, and works well enough but a cover would have been nice.
Overall, I found this camera to be pretty fun. Now that XR headsets are becoming common, it's nice to be able to export and view 3d videos and photos to headsets like the Quest 3 and presumably the Apple vision pro when it comes out next year, and the 3d/stereoscopic support on youtube has resulted in a growing and respectably active library of 3d videos and social media so this might be an interesting camera for influencers interested in exploring 3d/stereoscopic video and streaming affordably.
I am actually looking forward to shooting this little camera more - while it simply cannot compete with similarly priced 2d cameras in terms of image quality, that is significantly offset by the appeal of shooting in 3d, and with a little care the image quality is certainly good enough for documenting memories/events, sharing 3d video and the like. A skilled photographer will likely be frustrated with the camera's simplicity and limits, but it's quite capable of taking good photos and enjoyable video, with the extra appeal of being stereoscopic.
And right now, this camera is pretty much the only game in town for the price. I found it a good purchase, and it's worth pointing out that in the future stereo photos are likely to become a norm, so if you don't need more than a point-and-shoot degree of quality and function, this is a good choice for a compact family camera.
Pros:
- Fun to take 3D photos and videos.
- Small and easy to carry.
- Adapter view finder makes it easy to view.
- Easy to post to social media via app.
- water proof.
Cons:
- Photos and video are adequate, but sub-par.
- Need a 3D device to share ( eg. VR goggles)
- Slow to shoot and battery does not last long.
- Parallax not as profound.
- No auto focus and needs to be pointed straight ( defocuses when looking down or up).
- For the price better getting 4k action camera.

The Not Good: Battery life is very poor. Better carry extra batteries or an external battery to charge the internal. It is nearly impossible to open the battery door. You must open it to charge the battery or to remove the micro sd card. The outside controls on the camera are very hard to press -power, shutter, review pictures etc. If you want to shoot with the attached viewer you would need to use those buttons. So based on the above, I cannot recommend purchasing this camera.
I had an issue with the original camera, in which the screen would not power on successfully. After some further examination, it appeared that the plastic frame holding the screen in place had warped or come loose, causing the screen to fail. Note that this piece is also the component which the red viewfinder clips into--I don't think it was this that caused my particular problem, however, I could see where being real aggressive or forcing that attachment could cause problems.
Customer service was great and extremely fast about replacing the unit with a working model.
The camera's super fun, and the 3d works really nicely. I was able to move videos over to my Oculus, and they worked seamlessly (setting aside the fact that Oculus' file transfer is bad--not the camera's fault). The manual depth adjustment takes a little getting used to but is nice to have once you experiment with it a little. Expect to update the firmware, and with that you'll get good image stabilization.
One feature I feel like they've undersold is that you can wirelessly pair this with your phone (I did it via hotspot connection), and from there you can control the camera, and preview the video from your phone. It comes with a little mirror for selfies, but the phone preview is way more effective.
I feel like I'm not as worried about the battery life as most reviews--it'll last hours, not days, and I haven't had to deal with it going out on vacation or anything, but battery's been fine for what I've needed.

Y no solo eso, después de estar varios días probándola, la cámara resulta ser muy solvente. Llevaba años que esperaba hacerme con una cámara 3D para poder grabar mis vídeos familiares y visualizarlos con mis gafas Oculus Rift. Los vídeos 3D no tienen nada que ver con los vídeos ordinarios en 2D, te introducen más en la escena, y sientes como si estuvieras allí. Me hubiera gustado tener esta cámara cuando mi hija era una bebé.
La QooCam Ego es la única cámara del segmento doméstico que te permite hacer grabaciones 3D en vídeo y foto, y además lo hace bastante bien. Es una cámara pequeñita, de tan solo 160gr que cabe en cualquier bolsillo, y que monta dos objetivos separados 65mm, casi la distancia interpupilar humana promedio que es de 63mm. Este pequeño aumento de la distancia propicia más efecto 3D en objetos distantes. Los sensores tienen un tamaño de 1/2” y muy buena luminosidad (F1.8) que generan dos imágenes de vídeo de 1920x1080px (total de casi 4K: 3840x1080px), con hasta 60fps (60fps es clave para que los vídeos 3D resulten agradables de ver, pues tenemos las lentes muy cerca de los ojos), que permiten una grabación 3D de alta calidad. El formato de vídeo es mp4, y el de foto es JPEG o DNG (formato RAW que ha sido incorporado recientemente con el último firmware 2.8), con 12Mpx (4000x3000px por sensor, total: 8000x3000px). Las fotos y vídeos pueden visualizarse al instante en el visor magnético 3D que incorpora. El vídeo también lo podemos descargar en las Meta Quest 2 y 3 directamente, para ello debemos cambiar el nombre del vídeo, terminando el nombre en _3D.mp4.
Incorpora una pantalla táctil pequeñita (2,54”), pero de una calidad muy buena (1440x1600px con una densidad de pixel de 847ppp). Al colocarle el visor 3D que incluye podemos ver al instante el vídeo o foto grabados en 3D, sin necesidad de nada más, de una forma muy nítida y luminosa. Incluso podemos grabar con el visor incorporado y saber exactamente cómo va a quedar la escena 3D. Algunos profesionales la utilizan junto con la cámara Canon R5 y la lente RF VR180 para hacerse una idea de cómo quedará la grabación.
Monta una batería extraíble de 1340mAh, que con la pantalla apagada permite una grabación de 1 hora aproximadamente, por lo que es conveniente hacerse con una segunda batería. También se podría utilizar un powerbank que podemos conectar a su conector USB-C.
Tiene un menú bastante completo, y entre otras cosas, permite compartir directamente en redes sociales, y utilizar la cámara como una webcam.
Los últimos firmware han dotado a la cámara de autofocus y RAW. KanDao saca FW con mucha asiduidad, lo que demuestra el interés de la empresa por optimizar al máximo la cámara.
En resumen, estoy muy contento con KanDao y su cámara 3D. La Qoocam Ego se siente robusta, graba y se ve muy bien, es divertida y me introduce en el mundo 3D doméstico. Mi próximo paso será hacerme con una cámara 3D que soporte VR180. Espero que KanDao saque en breve una cámara que soporte esa tecnología, y no dudaré en comprarla.
Handy size, easy to use, good duration of battery time, huge capacity possible for many photos and videos.
