I am using the following pi camera(6 numbers) for my 360 degree camera project. It is a 160 degree camera. My question is what will be the vertical angle? can that also be 160? I have to design a spherical mounting point and for that i need the complete angle (conical portion of a sphere) each camera covers. Can someone help?

Here is the link for the camera. http://www.sainstore.de/camera-module-board-5mp-160-wide-angle-fish-eye-lenses-for-raspberry-pi.html/

High school trigonometry. The viewing angle is usually given as the angle along the diagonal. From that and the aspect ratio you can figure out the horizontal and vertical angles.
