GoPro – now that’s a company that is winning at life. The multi-billion dollar company has grown exponentially since its birth a decade ago, and it just keeps on bringing in more and more goodness.

Everyone was stoked when GoPro revealed the “quadcopter and a purpose-built rig for filming VR” last week, but compared with what we’re about to tell you, that’s nothing.

See, the company has just announced that it also built a rig that holds 16 cameras.

It’s a 360-degree, 16-camera array, and it’s the first one specially made for filming 3D VR content for Google’s new “Jump” VR ecosystem.

Amazing.

GoPro’s new camera array slots right into that ecosystem, and will let people easily create VR content for everything from YouTube to Google Cardboard. Basically, GoPro and Google want VR filmmakers all the hassle of hacking together DIY rigs made of duct tape and 3D-printed parts.

 Added benefits of the Jump rig will be a longer battery life for your GoPro, and ease of use – “cameras will be automatically synced using the software Google has created for Jump and the footage will be optimized”.

The fact that it is ready for 3D is great. Did someone say Avatar reenactment??
