GoPro’s CEO Nick Woodman announced Thursday that his company was developing a spherical mount that can house six action cameras at once for making virtual reality videos. He also said that GoPro will make its own quadcopter.
“It’s incredible to see our world from new perspectives,” Woodman said at the Code Conference, reports Recode. “We did that with our GoPro cameras, and we see a similar opportunity in the quadcopter market.”
Woodman said that the GoPro drone will come out in early 2016, along with assorted related products. The six-camera mount, a prototype of which was displayed at the conference, will be available in the second half of 2015.
