    Abstract: Camera modules comprising two sub-cameras included in a camera housing and a spin-out actuator. The two sub-cameras are a first sub-camera with first field of view (FOV) FOV1≥180 deg oriented along a camera module optical axis and pointing in a first direction and a second sub-camera having a second FOV, FOV2≥180 deg, the second sub-camera being oriented along the camera module optical axis and pointing in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. Such a camera module is operational to capture a 360 degree panoramic image or video stream by combining images obtained with the first sub-camera and the second sub-camera, where the spin-out actuator is operational to rotate the camera housing around an axis perpendicular to the camera module optical axis for switching the camera between a stowed position and a spun-out/operational position.
