The Gear 360 is Samsung’s first entry into the budding 360-degree camera market. It shows a lot of promise, but the quality isn’t quite there, it’s not rugged, and it’s difficult to use if you don’t own one of the newest Samsung phones.

What’s the quality of these VR cameras? Even the Nikon 360 seems soft?
This was pretty cool to be able to do this with my phone using your 360 pod. Thanks!
I didnt realize it was 360 until youve said it & kaboom, my life is changed. I want to make a vr short film asap
Itt would be cool if you could put this on a drone and have it stream to your phone in real time so you could feel like you are flying . But with those transfer times I guess it’s not possible right now
With 30 MP stills, its. 1/3 of a decent HDRi 🤔 I wonder if these types of cameras could provide footage to create your own HDRi’s for 3D rendering. That would be very handy 😎😎😎
Not gunna lie, the footage quality is horrible. GoPro’s omni rig has amazing quality, cant wait until they make it into a more consumer friendly platform.
a bit late for this review
Why does the quality suck? It looks horrible. Like were looking at something from the 90s.
Still not as good as my 360 ricoh theta S…
I didn’t listen to thing this dude said. Too busy scrolling around the video
For your next 360 degree video, please re-orient the video with something like Mettle Skybox, so the video is aligned with the horizontal plane. It looks really unprofessional when the video is tilted in either direction and makes viewing it uncomfortable as well.
Can you walk down the streets of New York with the camera? Or go into that new building near the world trade center with the oculus (a literal oculus, not the rift)
How about Ricoh Theta?
BORRRRING VID
Even with this in 4K it’s sooooo blury. Not worth using in my opinion.
It really really looks bad…
What a brilliant way to review this product! Excellent work folks!
Skiing and Snowboarding videos
Does it pair with any smartphone or just Samsung devices?
watching 360 video is too much work for me, I don’t want to have to move my phone/scroll around the screen while trying to chill out and watch a video. still not convinced, only purpose I could see is for land/cityscapes or photos.
Never shoot in 360 again. Potato quality.
Great review Sean! I agree that the workflow is not ideal for non-Samsung phone users, but for an entry level 360 (4k) camera I think the investment and workaround is worth consideration. If you’re interested, I’m stitching with Action Director on a Mac using Boot Camp (had to purchase Windows 10 Pro / $199) and then found an Adobe Premiere plugin (Skybox 360/VR Tools by Mettle / $189) to re-center the frame. I think it’s a great starter camera to test and learn. Recommend it for non-professional projects.
Plz review the Vuz 360 camera
Man, this is amazing for a start. The audience is slowly moving from being passive to mildly active.
360 video is annoying.
Please create critical liberty on grief.
If the 360 video doesn’t have stereoscopic 3D then its not even worth it. Feels so unimmersive in a VR headset if theirs no depth.
Even at 4k it looks too blurry :(, I was thinking about getting one, it feels like I might need to wait a year or two for tech to get better.
Song?
Samsung product… Boom boom baby!
Damn! Amazing! Yeah, the stitching isn’t so great but otherwise absolutely amazing!
image quality does not seem that & lines where images overlap. seems like a rush job to get this product on the market
OMG I’m not social at all and this video helped me and now I want to go outside thanks
I was thinking on buying it. but after seeing the review I’m like I don’t know now. what should i do? do you recommend it to buy it or not?
360 is my favorite movie ever 🎂
still looks crappy
Cyberlink action director is crap.
Great Review.
nice!
are you kidding me, no 360 about it, I want all around 360 view„, that is the deal„, this name and camera are a JOKE
I’m watching this and I’m like stop moving around. Then i realised that the view can change when i move my phone. Lolol
🙂
