Get ahead of the curve by learning how to produce 360-degree content for mobile devices and VR headsets. Here are the tools you need to shoot, edit, and upload 360-degree videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

360-degree videos<\/strong> have\u00a0now been<\/span> released to the masses via YouTube and Facebook<\/a>. Prior to that, you had to have a VR developers kit\u00a0and share your work with other developers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that any user has the ability to upload and share content, let’s take a look at a few ways you can start producing 360-degree videos.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

360-Degree Cameras and Rigs<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

As this is a developing technology, there are a ton of options available and in development. If you are planning on purchasing a single camera, you should note that only some sites can host your video. Currently YouTube is only compatible with four camera options<\/strong>;\u00a0Ricoh Theta<\/a>,\u00a0Kodak SP360<\/a>,\u00a0Giroptic 360cam<\/a>, and\u00a0IC Real Tech Allie<\/a>. With these cameras, you are looking to invest $300 – $500<\/strong>. (Not all are available to the public yet.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The other option you have is to build your own rig. The most widely used camera rigs use\u00a0a series of GoPro cameras<\/strong>. The most common rigs feature at least six GoPro cameras in a 3D printed rig. Google Jump uses 16 GoPro cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These rigs will cost thousands of dollars,\u00a0depending on which GoPro camera you decide to use. The benefit of GoPro is that the cameras are reliable. They have been tested for years in extreme conditions, and they have been designed to be the ultimate camera for any condition.<\/p>\n

Here is a quick interview about a team that mounted a rig on an Indy car.<\/p>\n
