Omni is not just only a six-camera rig but it provides a mechanism by which six cameras act as one.

Each camera is synchronized to the pixel level and if a problem occurs with any camera than Omni will let you know so that you can resolve that immediately. A problem such as battery or SD card.
The physical structure of Omni is made from rugged aluminum and tested to resist multiple falls. You don't have to worry about heat if you are shooting in high temperature because Omni's aluminum frame is designed the way that it draws heat away from cameras.
After capturing the content, you can use Omni Importer which is provided free with AVP 2.5 software and Kolor to stitch, trim and edit your videos. You can choose whether you want to set your video quality as 2K, 4K or 8K, color contrast and stabilization.
