360 Surround Camera Rental in LA area?

[VRabbitHole]

Has anyone in LA area built the 360 beast? Any rental packages available?

Anyone with a camera rig interested in collaborating on end-to-end workflow testing?

Brian, I don't suppose there's any chance that FB would let us book some time in your lab to let us shoot some test footage of our own on one of your rigs? ... bring our Capture and Render boxes up to Menlo Park to record some charts and people moving around ... I know it's a total pain in the butt to organize - I run the VR Lab @ LumaForge in Hollywood, so believe me I know ... but with the next batch of GP cameras not shipping until the end of Oct we're going to be snookered on testing the workflow in its entirety for another couple of months now.

Added afterthought:

Or maybe instead of the pain of booking individual visits to Menlo Park, organize a one day open house workshop only for peeps who have already built a capture/render box and run the Palace test footage .... let us attach our boxes to your rig and record some live footage ... have a bunch of 30 minute slots which are booked in advance by qualifying individuals ... almost like a mini f8 only for 360 camera folks.

That way we could attach our Linux boxes to a rig we know for sure is accurately calibrated and set-up correctly, record a ten minute take and then go off-line and put it through the render process ... any problems or issues in our software set-up would be immediately apparent and presumably you'd have one of your brilliant team members on hand to help diagnose the problem.

Obviously, not everyone lives in California or could make it to the 360 Lab Test day but if we managed to get a dozen or so systems through the testing we could do a wrap session at the end and publish the findings and insights to the wider community ... hell, we could even record the wrap session on your 360 rig and put it up on the FB 360 page ... just a thought.

Do you have the Facebook 360 Surround camera in stock and available now?

Two quick observations ... (1) this github page is dedicated to the new FB 360 Surround camera - that's what I was specifically asking about ... (2) if you think the ozo camera is 'high quality' you're definitely on the wrong page.
