Other cameras from LG (review here) and Ricoh (review here) do a solid job but I think Samsung nailed the combination of features and simplicity. The 360 camera market is evolving by the month and Samsung did a great job of taking their original Gear 360 and kicking it up a notch. I couldn’t figure out how to get it work with my Facebook “Page” but it worked great with my personal Facebook account.īest 360 camera yet? I think that’s fair. In my testing, setup was super simple and it worked exactly as promised. One of the best features of the new Gear 360 is that you can stream live from the camera, through your phone to Youtube and Facebook in 360 degrees! You’ve seen those 360 degree videos in your Facebook feed but imagine if it was live. Or you can create fun flattened images – I specifically like the little big world look! You can judge for yourself, here’s a video I shot with the Gear 360. Resolution is more important than ever when shooting 360 video. This is important because you’re often only looking at a small portion of the total video capture. The biggest difference with the new Gear 360 is that is shoots 4K video. The Gear 360 also offers a standard screw-in tripod mount on the bottom. It’s pretty much what you would expect from a 360 camera in a sleek Samsung plastic shell. There is a power and menu button on the side of that “head.” On the stem you’ll find the record/shutter button, a small display as well as the memory card slot and USB-C port. It looks like a little robot with a big round head. Samsung sorted that out with a much refined and more simple design with version 2. The first Gear 360 looked like a ball with a little tripod that attached to the bottom. I took it for a test and found out that it is definitely better than their first version and possibly the best affordable 360 camera available right now. Up, down, left, right… everything! Samsung is back with version 2 of their Gear 360 camera. They take a picture that captures everything. 360 degree cameras are the hot gadget right now. Point and shoot – it used to be that easy.
