How about some DCI 4k (4096 x 2160) footage at 24fps... If this is on par with the OSMO X3, I can see myself purchasing a few of them.
Roxor will be shipped by pre-orders early next month.
Let’s discuss some details about ROXOR lens specs.
FOV is short for Field of View which means that part of the world that is visible through the camera at a particular position and orientation in space. The figure below can easily explain this concept.
Elements are the individual pieces of glass used in the construction of lens. If the adjacent elements have same function, they can be called a group.
Unlike other sports camera using cheap hard resin or plastic as material of their lenses, ROXOR adopts high quality glass which can bring better light transmittance, higher refractive index and of course excellent image quality. Glass lenses are extremely complicated to manufacture. Chunks of glass were cut into small pieces and then it took hours for a small piece being grinded and polished to become one element. The cost of each element is almost 3 times higher than hard resin or plastic lenses.
Aspheres are also used in the ROXOR lens to alter distortion. Asphere is a lens whose surface profiles are not portions of a sphere or cylinder. Distortion is a lens effect which caused images to be deformed. Barrel distortion can be commonly seen on wide angel lenses used by current sports cameras. By using aspheres, ROXOR can effectively correct barrel distortion to make the images more natural.
Finally to show everyboby a drawing of the ROXOR

Are you going to share any footage before shipping?
The footage from the Osmo is nothing special. I'm having my doubts about this as well since you claim shipments are right around the corner and you're sharing pictures of cases and lens diagrams without showing any footage.
According to this Chinese site http://www.filmaker.cn/thread-63275-1-1.html the first batch of 2000 units will be shipped tentatively on 10-Dec-2015. This is just 9 days away....
I guess I'll wait for early adopters to post since we're getting nothing from the company. Am I the only one that thinks this is odd?

very nice to hear that it's a 90 degree lens with minimal distortion.
time to play the order shipping date game? i'm 10/19 @ 3pm

you know what would also be nice? a filter thread
oh, and if you're still deciding on what bitrates to use... at least 150mbit in 4k would be lovely
alright that's enough wishlisting

A filter thread would indeed be nice. That being said, it is then on filter manufacturers to develop filters that are lightweight enough so as to not throw off the balance of the unit. With my Phantom 3 that was an issue at first for some. It took a little while for good quality filters to arrive that were not too heavy.

Too bad it is only available in 360P and that each shot has some crazy lighting effect added in post
