Motorola launches Moto 360 Camera mod for Moto Z devices

Motorola has launched a new 360-degree camera mod for its Moto Z devices at an event in Ghana, West Africa. The Moto 360 Camera mod, as it’s known, features two camera lenses and is built onto the top of a smartphone shell case.
Like the existing Moto Mods, such as the JBL SoundBoost speaker and Hasselblad True Zoom camera, the new accessory attaches to the rear of the Moto Z via a 16-pin connector and will allow you to shoot 360-degree photo and video.
Take a peek at it in the video below from 14:40.
Meanwhile, leaker Evan Blass got his hands on a better look at the unit in a press render here:

We don’t yet know anything about the Moto 360 Camera specs, price or availability, but it likely won’t be a Ghana-exclusive product; Motorola has a presence in many other markets.
Though interesting, the Moto Mods haven’t received a vast number of additions — official or otherwise — since they were introduced with the Moto Z last summer. Of course, designing and manufacturing modular smartphone products won’t be easy, but with only a dozen or so mods to choose from (many of which are related to power management), it feels like the technology isn’t being completely taken advantage of.
