The Freedom360 Mount and the Elmo360 are both great systems to shoot 360° video.
The Freedom360 Mount is our most versatile mount and the one we recommend and use the most for all kinds of shooting situations. Fitted with the GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition camera (cameras are not included) it delivers the highest output resolution, is sharp and delivers good dynamic range. You have control over White Balance (3000K, 5500K, 6500K) and exposure bias. The Freedom360 Mount is small and light and can be rigged in a variety of different ways. The maximum output resolution is about 8k by 4k while a more workable size is 6k by 3k. The Freedom360 is the work horse of the line-up, used and trusted by professionals around the world.
The Elmo360 is an affordable alternative to the Freedom360 system. It comes equipped with four Elmo QBiC MS-1 cameras. The cameras can switch between auto exposure with exposure bias settings or manual eposure which gives control over shutter speed and gain (think ISO setting). White balance has several presets or can be manually adjusted from 3000K to 8000K. The maximum output resolution is about 4k by 2k.

Hi,
I just bought 2 sets of lens caps from you but they are jumping off of my lenses.
What can I do about that?
regards,
Mario
how do you upload videos to youtube?
Youtube has a tutorial page for 360 video: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6178631?hl=en
Hi,
I’m having the same problem with the lens caps. I have Hero4 Black cameras.
Please let us know if there are or aren’t any plans to fix this.
All the best,
Patrick
Dear Patrick, some of the Gopro Hero4 cameras seem to have a plastic lens barrel that is not perfectly straight, which makes fresh lens caps sometimes pop off. As far as we know, lens caps will stay on after a while. We do hope the new lens caps we received today will be able to deal with the (rare) non-straight Gopro lens barrels a bit better.
The threads on the weights are not long enough to thread into the carbon fiber monopod.
Dear Ben,
if you are using the Carbon Fiber Pole (Feisol), just leave the 3/8 that comes with the monopod in, and screw it into the female side of the counter weights. The setscrews of the counter weights are removable, only fixed with light loctite.
how much does the broadcster mount weight with six cameras weight?
Hello,
The combined weight of the Broadcaster mount + 6 Hero 4 Black GoPros is 1.35 lb or 615 gr.
Hope this helps!

How do I tell which lens is the front center of the video? Or which camera is the front center view?
Hi Larry,
Thank you for your question. Because you are shooting in 360 degrees, you are have great flexibility in editing this in post. You can center any point of view, not just a particular camera, you can also align the horizon in any way you want throughout the entire timeline. You can learn more about this if our 360 Video Training course that we offer here at our NYC location. You can find more details about this here: http://freedom360.us/360-video-stitching-training/

Can I mix Hero3+ with Hero4 if I use the same settings on all cameras? Are there any things to keep in mind?
Hi Viktor,
We recommended only using 6 identical camera models. Matching image quality is very important, and any differences because of hardware or firmware variances would be quite noticeable.
Hi
We are using to F360 broadcaster.
We can’t use to that rig when it’s rains.
Is there any housing solitions or different?
Best Regards
Hi leprecorn,
You may like to check out the F360 Explorer mount. It allows you to mount your cameras after placing them in their acrylic housings, protecting them from water and debris.
