In search for the edge of the world
And I’m gone! My first stopover on the way up north is at good friends Sander and Arwen in Deventer where I parked Brutus in the backyard and camped there. Of course good food was shared and later in the evening the campfire was lit and some cold beers emptied. The perfect way to start a holiday!
I thought it would be a good idea to take a bicycle with me on my North Cape trip so I could make some nice bicycle trips instead of driving and also to visit the cities and towns along the way. The bike I owned didn’t have any gears, it’s just a city bike for Amsterdam, so was not really an option for the hills and mountainous up north. I scrolled trough the adds on secondhand website Marktplaats and stumbled upon a nice 21 gear Giant Tourer for a very fair price.
So I played a bit with the LG 360 cam and like to share my thoughts with you.
If, after reading this review, you’re also interested in creating 360° content, you can buy the LG 360 Cam on Bol.com.
The packaging in which the camera comes is small and contains in addition to the camera, which itself is also small, a USB cable and booklet with manual in several languages. There is no charger or memory card included.
The camera has already been partially charged, but I fully charged it before I started playing with it. The camera has no internal storage, so you really have to insert a microSD card to make even a single photo. I put in a SanDisk Extreme 64GB because I thought 360° video would cost a lot of storage, more about this later.

This morning I picked up a new gadget at the post office, an LG 360 Cam. The LG 360 Cam is a compact two lens camera which stitches the two images together to a full 360° view photo or video. The 360° content covers the full sphere around, above, and below the camera point of view. The plans are to use this to document my future trips, beginning with upcoming Panama and Costa Rica trip.
He has a name! May I introduce to you Blue Brutus, my “new” voiture d’aventure.
Crazy times in Lagos, Nigeria, I’m glad I took a detour via Osogbo. Is the new president Muhammadu Buhari going to make a difference in the corruption and harassment by officials and thugs? I sure hope so!
That’s how I roll! Appropriate present from my African friends Paul & Kate, spot on!
These two wonderful people have helped Sander and me enormously after our unfortunate accident in Namibia.
On the right Hannes, 20 minutes after the accident he and his wife were the first ones on crashsite and gave us fantastic support and first aid. On the left Servaas, our Dutch Consul in Windhoek, who on the evening of King’s Day(!) awaited us after the ambulance flight on the Windhoek airport and supported the successive days enormously while we were hospitalized.
This morning they received a present from us that a friend of Sander has delivered for us in Windhoek.
