Thanks folks!
Some time ago ...Bought a ThetaV and the overpriced, now useless (with any new Thetas) TA1 and was pretty disappointed.
Have been saving up for Sennheiser AMBEO and Sound Devices MixPre-6 II kit but it's just taking to long...  The stuff is up to 50-75% more expensive here in Japan too!
Had to get something else for other VR cams and figured this thing a good buy without having to blow too much of my budget. 

btw... I don't really agree with the "VR winter" thing.. on the contrary actually because of the virus crisis (at least in the Asias)! 

We all just need to keep plowing forward together to improve or skills and ideas ....get quality content out there and generate more enthusiasm!

 

Get yourself a Zoom F8n (and an Ambisonics mic) then you can be BOTH lazy and record the raw as well for later on. 

If you're converting it in post, then record in A Format

As @IronFilm says, A format will give you the most flexibility as it is a raw recording of each of the four capsules and the Zoom Ambisonics Player app can then convert that to B format (or to stereo, binaural and 5.1 too) for you to then drop in to your editing system.
The B format encoder that is built in to the H3VR will save you the step of having to run it through the Ambisonics Player app, something which, due to app not having a batch process capability, can become quite tedious and time consuming if you have a lot of clips.
Because I am inherently a lazy bugger, thats why I record on the H3VR in B format to avoid the extra steps and use its internal down mix feature to record a live binaural feed into the camera as often the latter is all I need but can still have the option to tweak it using the B format files during the edit if I need to.
