Canon's new RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL stereoscopic camera lens for spatial video recordings has recently become available for pre-order. In the US, the price is $449.99 and orders are expected to ship in mid-November.


Apple and Canon announced the lens at WWDC in June. The lens attaches to Canon's EOS R7 and allows the mirrorless camera to capture 3D video for playback on AR/VR headsets such as Apple's Vision Pro and Meta's Quest 3. More details about the lens can be found on Canon's website and in our coverage of the WWDC announcement.

After shooting spatial videos with the Canon EOS R7 and this lens, Apple said users could edit the videos in Final Cut Pro on the Mac and upload them to Vimeo. Final Cut Pro is expected to be updated with spatial video editing features in mid-November, and Vimeo released a Vision Pro app with spatial video support last month.

Spatial videos can also be recorded on both iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models without the need for additional hardware.
