The option to juggle 6 or more action cameras to create 360 content using our gear was far too costly for a hobby photographer. We listened to the requests of our potential customers that found our previous gear to be cumbersome. 360Rize then worked night and day to make a solution to invite this type of user into the world of 360 content capture. We decided to design our very own action camera. This camera cut out post production woes, and made sharability as easy as its ever been for 360. We came out with the 360Penguin Camera!
