GoPro will start selling a new 16 cameras rig called Odyssey that will be priced at $15,000 and will work on Google’s 3D/360° virtual reality platform Jump:
"Optimized for Jump, Odyssey packs 16 synchronized HERO4 Black cameras into an all-in-one rig that’s capable of capturing immersive content in stunning 8K30 video. The video from each camera is then uploaded to the Jump assembler to deliver an engaging experience from every direction."
Here is the full press release:
Beginning today, GoPro is offering limited purchase availability of Odyssey, the 3D, 360° 16-camera rig designed for Google’s virtual reality platform, Jump, through the Odyssey Limited Access Program (LAP). Professional Content creators and producers now have a chance to purchase and receive their own Odyssey rig later this year.
Built with the ability to sync with the Google Jump platform, Odyssey offers stereoscopic content capture for virtual reality. With features like genlock synchronization, multi-camera control and extended battery life, GoPro Odyssey aims to eliminate pain points that pro creators often face during their adventures.
Odyssey not only makes it possible for professionals to capture life’s most unforgettable experiences in an entirely new way, but it also allows for anyone to experience a time or place like they’re actually there through 3D, 360° content.
Additional Program Details Include:
- Those interested in participating in the LAP can sign up now through the end of the year at GoPro.com/Odyssey.
- GoPro and Google will work together to select content partners who will be granted access to purchase the limited-quantity Odyssey rig and showcase the full potential of 360° content.

- 16 HERO4 Black cameras, fully loaded with custom firmware
- 16 array bacpacs with syncing cables
- Custom-built ultra-rugged Pelican case
