The Adaptability of 360 Plug-n-Play™

Thanks to our 360 Plug-n-Play™ line’s modular design, we were able to create an upgrade path for existing users as well as new solutions utilizing these new cameras.

In April at the 2016 NAB Show, we introduced the world’s first modular 360 Plug-n-Play™ rigs designed to house multiple GoPro™ cameras in a spherical orientation. Designed with anodized aluminum cores and durable interchangeable injected molded polymer camera holding mechanisms, the design was intended to allow users to alternate between different cameras and configurations with the same center or base.

“Our goal with creating the modular design was to keep our product line adaptable in this quickly evolving market,” said Michael Kintner, 360RIZE CEO and founder, in regard to the product announcement. “With camera technology advancing so rapidly, we want content creators to be able to keep their rigs up to date and to be able to create multiple configurations without having to start from scratch every year.”

The 360RIZE product line of v2 360 Plug-n-Play™ Holders now offers support for the new GoPro™ Hero5 Black, Hero4, Hero3, and Hero3+ cameras.
