If you’re in the video producing industry, then you’ve seen the Oddyssey, GoPro’s professional rig that challenges you to spend $15.000. Now, the company is introducing Omni, a much more affordable 360-degree video rig #actionmagic
Omni looks like a cube, hollowed-out to hold six Hero4 Black cameras on each side. When stitched together, these simultaneously recording cameras will produce one 360-degree video that can be viewed in virtual reality.
Even if it is destined for amateurs, it will lower your budget considerably, especially taking into account the amount you’re going to spend on cameras alone – $2,500. That said, GoPro is a standard in the action camera industry, so expect great quality video.
Omni will come at NAB in two weeks from now, a trade show for video production teams and directors. Its mass accesibility might encourage more creatives to dive in the 360-degree video trend and help it become ubiquitous.
