What do beer and 360-degree photos have in common? Nothing, usually. But don’t tell Beck’s that, because the German-based brewery has recently shown off a clever piece of marketing that blends the the world of immersive content and … well … booze.
With the help of BBDO Duesseldorf, a worldwide advertising agency, Beck’s has created CapCam, a 360-degree lens that will come attached to the top of special edition beer bottles.
The CapCam isn’t available to the public — yet — but to show off the new feature they’ve shared the above promo video wherein a few fans won the opportunity to take the CapCam for a spin. In it, Beck’s explains that the CapCam was created to “provide an all-round view of those typical Beck’s moments shared with close friends.”
In other words, Beck’s wants you to film all of your drunken shenanigans in full 360-degree glory to share with the world, for better or — more likely — worse.
Beck’s doesn’t note what specific phones the CapCam is designed to work with, but in the video iPhone 4 and 5S devices are seen with the lens attached. Internal mirrors within the lens are used to create the 360-degree viewing angle.
Interestingly, as pointed out by PetaPixel, the release of this promo aligns almost perfectly with Facebook’s announcement that you can now experience 360-degree photos and video within your News Feed.
Time will tell if this makes it to a broad market of consumers. Even if it doesn’t, don’t fret. There are plenty of other options out there that you can pick up without the need to buy a six-pack.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
