360fly Set to Launch in Spring 2015

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 360fly, Inc., a technology leader in single-lens, 360 degree video, today announced its 360fly action camera to be available spring 2015. Promising an unrivaled way to shoot, share and experience video with a seamless 360-degree field of view and interactive app-based video interface.

"We've gone to great lengths to ensure we go to market with the most compelling and innovative 360 degree video platform available today," said Alan Pitney, CEO of 360fly. "We believe we have a differentiated experience with the 360fly camera, and we're excited to see the reaction from consumers and the unique ways they put this revolutionary video technology to use."

360fly frees the user from the limitations of traditional video and introduces an unprecedented 360 degree view around the camera with 240 degree view over the camera – a new way to capture the world around you in 360-degree video format; any moment, any angle, all at once.

Smaller than a baseball, the lightweight, rugged and mountable camera puts users in the "director's chair" by allowing the ability to shoot everything in sight from a single video camera. 360fly video is optimized for mobile devices and social platforms, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the video by swiping, pinching and selecting the angle in the video they wish to view.

Viewers can share, browse, and interact with 360 degree video at 360fly.com and through the 360fly mobile app for iOS and Android. Acting as the camera's sophisticated remote and viewfinder, the mobile app allows users to quickly playback, edit, and share their unique video content.

At launch, 360fly will offer a wide range of mounts suitable for action and lifestyle applications.  360fly is available to pre-order at 360fly.com.

To distribute 360fly to retail in North America, 360 fly, Inc. has partnered with VOXX Electronics, a wholly owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation.
