GoPro's Omni rig is an end-to-end solution for VR video creators

2016-08-10
Omni is GoPros professional VR content solution and looking at it you might be like oh it's just another holder something that's been available for years but while it does hold six hero4 black cameras for capturing immersive 360 video it's how it does it that's important using the connector at the back of each camera the aluminum rig actually synchronizes the cameras so they operate as one turn on the master camera and the remaining five come to life press the record and all of them start recording and if there's a problem with one camera it will let you know which one and won't start recording until it's fixed the cameras can be powered off their batteries or there's an external power supply that will run them for up to three hours all the clips get stored to micro SD cards in the cameras which would be a potential nightmare if the cards got mixed up but Omni tags each file with its position in the rig so when you offload your content using the Omni importer the order is managed for you the importer gives you a preview and calibrated stitching but for editing GoPro includes color auto panel video editing software in the package there are plugins for Adobe Premiere too including one that lets you create a regular 2d movie out of a 360 clip GoPro has a free player too with oculus support so basically for the five thousand dollar all-inclusive package you're getting everything you need to shoot edit view and share immersive video
