The 3D printed 360Heros 360 Plug-n-Play holder, invented by Michael Kintner, utilizes 6 GoPro® cameras to create interactive fully spherical HD 360 video.  The 360 system had only recently been launched and had not been tested at extreme cold temperatures, however Everest Media Productions and 360Heros had a vision and it is an extraordinary achievement.  It is a testament to the power of this new technology and an inspiration to us all.
360Heros camera gear was developed to unleash unlimited creativity, adventure and expression. The iconic imagery captured on Mt. Everest shares the rare experience of making it to the peak in an unprecedented format, and the producers are proud to release the interactive 360 footage online for all the world to see.
