I have modified this rig to provide 6 gopro camera's around the center of the rig, and two gopro's which will be angled up. Gopro's are mounted in their waterproof housing.
The 8 gorpo's are required because when you are recording underwater, the field of view get's reduced by about 33% - enough reduction to no longer make your video's overlap, thus not stitchable on a traditional rig like the freedom 360, or even gopro's new omni.
There are two mounts on the camera - one external classic gopro mont (underwater selfie stick holder), and one 1/4 classic tripod mount.
I've used this for aerial photography on my drone. you can see an early video here: https://vr.gopro.com/video/201c92ba737ccd314f782280dd1d4a88
I will be testing the rig in Cancun in the beginning of June, and will post the video.
Edited last rig in tinkercad to add second gorpo connection, and the tripod mount.
