Ever been a part of the 360º photo at your regional football game? Or tagged yourself or friends at the U2 concert? We are the cool guys from South Africa that introduced the very first Fancam to the world in January 2011 and has since produced over three hundred Fancams for multiple sport and musical events.
The Fancam is an ultra high definition 360º image of the stadium, taken a few minutes before kick-off. The 20 thousand megapixels captured by the Fancam, allow fans to zoom in and explore every corner of a stadium in unbelievable detail. If you were lucky enough to be at the event, you can find yourself and share that particular view with friends and family via email, Facebook or Twitter.
