The camera has 16 HD lenses so you can shoot immersive VR and 360° video. The Live Planet cloud makes it easy to upload and store files after filming. Additionally, the cloud provides “apps and code libraries for all major VR and 360°platforms” to make broadcasting content possible.

About 500 GB of storage is available within the Live Planet camera, and it has HD-SDI as well as HDMI outputs. It works through Ethernet or Wi-Fi. 500 cameras are currently available for the special pre-order price of $4,995. That might still sound like a hefty number, but the original cost outside of pre-ordering is doubled at $9,995.

You can pre-order the Live Planet VR camera on Live Planet’s website.
