GoPro announces that it will be coming out with not one, not two, but three additional products — a quadcopter, a spherical mount, and a 16-cam shooting rig.

The first one they officially announced was the GoPro quadcopter. It is set to launch in the first half of 2016 and the company thinks it is in some ways, “the ultimate GoPro accessory”. GoPro CEO Nick Woodman also mentioned that it would still be consumer-focused so that should keep its price in the same range as DJI and Parrot.

Next is the spherical mount. It basically houses 6 GoPro cameras that records all at the same time. The footage will then be stitched together to produce virtual reality kind of videos viewable via VR headsets such as Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, and Microsoft HoloLens. Viewing the content online is also possible through YouTube 360.

Pricing is also undisclosed but the company mentioned it will be available later this year.

Lastly, GoPro also introduced its 16-camera rig made specifically for Jump (Google’s new virtual reality ecosystem).

The rig shoots 360 degrees with better stitching points than the 6-cam spherical mount and tied with Google’s Jump, produces an immersive way of watching videos. In a nutshell, it aims to let filmmakers and even ordinary people create VR content easily once it’s made available for everyone.

GoPro unveils Sportsman Mount and Blackout Housing

GoPro introduces two new accessories to accompany its line of sports camera. The Sportsman Mount lets you attach your GoPro to poles, hunting bows, and some gun barrels, while the Blackout Housing gives a fresh new look and adds functionality to your device.

The Sportsman Mount isn’t an ordinary mount that sticks to flat surfaces. It’s specifically made to attach to any arm or stem-like equipment with a diameter of 10 – 23mm. The Sportsman Mount is compatible with fishing rods and hunting bows. If you’re the hunting type it could be used to clamp to shotguns, rifles, and revolvers; but it can also be used for airsoft and pellet guns to effectively catch your war games on video.

Since the mount connects using a special back cover, compatibility of GoPro version is not an issue. Here are some of its features:

  • Mount one or two cameras to capture footage looking forward, backwards or both directions simultaneously
  • When used with a gun or fishing rod, camera(s) can be mounted below or to the side of the barrel or rod
  • Non-reflective, matte black finish ensures low visibility

On the other hand, the Blackout Housing is a GoPro case that’s waterproof up to 40m. It has a matte black finish for keeping a low profile while shooting and LCD concealment stickers that eliminate light reflection.

The Sportsman Mount is available for $69.99 while the Blackout Housing is at $49.99.

To our fellow GoPro users out there, what are your favorite mounts so far? We’ve recently had fun with a Chesty mount during a trip in Cebu where we used it on an outdoor adventure.
