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.

is it possible to have 3d video along with 2d video on youtube?
What’s the quality of these VR cameras? Even the Nikon 360 seems soft?
What a brilliant way to review this product! Excellent work folks!
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)
This 360 is pretty useless.
Watch the video in 4K people. (sigh)
Damn! Amazing! Yeah, the stitching isn’t so great but otherwise absolutely amazing!
It really really looks bad…
Man, this is amazing for a start. The audience is slowly moving from being passive to mildly active.
Stitching is far from good, Allie camera does it much better
nothing else please, if I watching this on my TV, then it’s useless to me
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.
hi verge i check out every video u make
What’s up with the studio lighting? It’s horrible!
Wow!! loved this video didn’t know it was 360 until I moved the iPad lol, this is fun
still looks crappy
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.
a bit late for this review
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.
360 video is annoying.
I find 360 video very distracting. Half of the time was wasted on me dragging my finger around the screen.
Skiing and Snowboarding videos
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
Samsung product… Boom boom baby!
why is it so pixie? it’s not sharp by any means… nice review anyway
OMG I’m not social at all and this video helped me and now I want to go outside thanks
image quality does not seem that & lines where images overlap. seems like a rush job to get this product on the market
wow you guys are so late to release it.. its been out for months
