-- Samsung Gear 360 Camera Review: Should you get one? --

360 videos are an awesome way to add a completely new dimension to your videos and take interaction to the next level. With a wave of new 360 Cameras, it’s clear the technology is improving incredibly fast and the cost of getting started is becoming more and more affordable.

Facebook and YouTube also both now support Live 360 feeds, showing the big content platforms are investing significantly in the technology. But if you’re looking to get started, with so many 360 camera options it’s hard to know which is right for you…
The Samsung Gear 360 Camera is one of the more popular, and after spending a few months with it we put together our thoughts and experiences in this video to help you decide if it’s the right option for you.

Awesome video. Beautiful beach there. I have first Samsungs gear 360 about a year now and I absolutely love it. I don't use it as my primary shooter but gladly on some special occasions. Now I'm seeing that Samsung has released an updated version of gear 360 2017 that supports 360 live stream... and I'm looking forward to upgrade.

I've owned one for many months. The pictures look great. But the video not so great. But, the lack of video quality is actually mostly because of what you are watching the video on. I was using a 15" Retina Macbook Pro thinking the Samsung's video was shwon as good as it would get. But the Macbook Pro's screen isn't up to 3840 x 2160. I have spent many months thinking the video quality sucks. It seems to look better on an iPad. But, I just got a new laptop that really has a 4K display. The I posted many months ago used to look soft on my Macbook. But I just watched them on my new 4K laptop and the video is quite sharp.

If you think the video is soft or sucks, at least record, edit and upload at 4K, then watch it on a real 4K display before judging. Looking at the 4K video on your phone or iPad, even my 12" iPad Pro doesn't do this camera justice. You will need to have it all processed and viewed on a real 4K display to see the potential. For many months I thought the video sucked until I just looked at it on my new 4K laptop.
