Hi,
Compare Orah with Jaunt.
https://www.jauntvr.com/technology/
Large price difference. Jaunt has many more cameras. No microphone
built in. Have seen it used with what looked like one of Len's Core
Sound microphones and a Tascam recorder.
Exactly. Anybody who uses a JauntVR camera can afford a SF mike of
probably any manufacturer. (And you could record audio also in 7.1+4H,
if you prefer an emerging "immersive TV audio standard". )
See also NextVR:

The final mix comprised audio from binaural microphones placed at each
camera location and a direct pull of elements from the Fox Sports
audio mix. Surround and directional placing of sound is critical to
the feel of the experience, and NextVR and Fox Sports placed an
emphasis on a lower announcer volume beneath prominent on-court
sounds, including bouncing of the ball and squeaking of sneakers.
Best,
Stefan

Finally, a 3D camera with an integrated FOA microphone?
https://www.orah.co/tech-specs/
https://www.orah.co/about/ :
"In addition, the ambisonic 3D sound capture capabilities of Orah
enable the viewer of the content to locate the origin of the sound
source with a VR headset, bringing the feeling of immersion to a
stunning new level."
https://www.orah.co/ :
Looking at the pictures and captions, it says: "Immersive Sound, Four
high dynamic-range microphones for ambisonic 3D sound". The capsules
(or mems?) look soldered on the sides of PC boards, listening through
holes.

very far apart, with body resonances that i don't want to imagine.
hate to be negative about so much exciting new tech, but "stick n>=4
cheap capsules somewhere and call it ambisonic" seems questionable
to me. simple truth of the matter is that as long as video techs add
mics as an afterthought, the results are going to suck, badly.
