To be a successful videographer or filmmaker in the digital age, you have to stay at the forefront of new technologies and industry trends. One topic that has exploded across digital and social media in the past few years is the auspicious rise of 360-video.

According to recent research, demand for 360 videos and photos on Facebook is at an all-time high — and growing exponentially. From the real estate industry to nature documentaries to your cousin showing off his current vacation spot, 360 video is becoming more popular.

In this video by DSLRguide, YouTuber Simon Cade breaks down his ten tips on how to shoot 360 video for today’s formats (you can watch the video in 360 here). While Cade focuses on the GoPro Omni in this video, the advice works for the majority of 360 cameras, in that it focuses on how to get the most out of your investment by understanding the medium.

The Uni360 is built to last with its solid aluminum core and support arms is proud to say its the  world’s first universal HD 360 Video gear that now supports over 15 different HD action camera models that can produce HD 360 Video with resolutions as high as 12,000 by 6,000 pixels in some cases. 

Previously its patented predecessor the 360H6 only supported the GoPro Hero3 and Hero4 cameras. However the new patented Uni360 360 Plug-n-Play 360 video gear has risen to whole new levels of providing 360 video content producers more options into producing High Definition 360 video content.   With its new release it supports all versions of the GoPro Action camera models using its universal externalhousing connections.  The GoPro Hero Session, Hero2, Hero3, Hero4 and Hero5 cameras all have in common the bottom center mounts providing a secure and solid connection to the Uni360’s solid aluminum core and its support arms.  So it’s Good-bye 3D printed parts and hello to Pro-Consumer grade aluminum that is built to last and supports a whole array of action cameras

.

In additional we are extremely excited to announce that the 360Rize Uni360 also supports the Yi Technology series of action cameras which are the new rivals to the GoPro action cameras. The Yi cameras utilize the new Ambarella Amba H2 SOC chip which is a significant upgrade from its successors A9SE used in the Yi 4K.  The new chip consumes less power with high quality results allowing producers to film longer without overheating with the ability to sync the cameras together.    Additional action cameras that the Uni360 supports is the Garmin VIRB , Veho  Muvi K-Series and dozens more that can use the universal bottom GoPro compatible type support. 

In all cases, the patented 360 Plug-n-Play 360 video solutions allow producers to take advantage of repurposing their cameras to film as they were intended, and then plug into the Uni360 housing and start filming 360 video content.  In this six camera array configuration to determine if the camera is compatible, it needs the bottom universal mount and the cameras need to be able to shoot in 4:3 aspect ratio modes either in 1440 or 960 mode
