I can see each these 360 video cameras sitting at the end of a pendulum KAP rig someday soon.
Enjoy!

Theta - https://theta360.com/en/about/theta/s.htmlThe real difference here is the 360 4K video combined with VR that lets you just look around and zoom in to view.
This is way different from the 360 still bubble shots.
the dynamic stitching (on the fly depending on where you look) is the key enabling technology.
On line services like YouTube and others are adding in dynamic loading of just the areas that you are viewing.
Looking forward to trying this out from a kite sometime in 2016.
As with all Kite Aerial Video (KAV) a stable platform will be key.
One major difference, no need to pan or tilt.....just shoot.....
I am thinking back to many KAP shots where a bird (or helicopter) would fly nearby but my camera was pointing the other way....not an issue with these new cameras....should be interesting.
No need for a complicated KAP rig!
Could even attach these directly to the kite.
