Keep expectations real.

Simplicity and ease of use. The control over the new Samsung mobile phones is particularly pleasant. The form factor works well on a table or tripod. I will say that at this price and quality level this is more of a novelty and a fun bonus to any photo or video you take. The image quality, especially in low light conditions, is not what you would get with regular cameras/phones. The bit rate is also reduced by the included software. I don't have an alternative yet to see if I can improve the…

I'm very happy with my little 360, but there are a few.

I'm very happy with my little 360, but there are a few limitations. Pros: * Compact size, fits easily in a bag with a nice soft storage pouch * Great photos * Fits great over a monopod. * very easy to use with great mobile app * good battery life Cons: * Not sure if it's compression or resolution, but the video appears grainy and compressed when viewed on my headset. *You must transfer images through your phone to use them. They are stored on the camera in an unmerged form. This isn't a big…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Modern

::UPDATE:: No longer works on Samsung phones

You think two Samsung products will work together, don't you? Well, this camera has stopped working with Samsung phones after recent updates. I used to shoot amazing 360 videos on my S6 and after the upgrade on my S10. Last week I tried using it again and found that the app is no longer compatible with the camera. It crashes immediately when you try to do anything, and a few Google searches show that this isn't an isolated issue. The program has not been running for a long time. You can still…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some problems

The one you should get if Samsung is your electronics overlord.

This is a 360° camera that you can buy if you use Samsung communication and entertainment products. With Samsung Allshare Play, all Samsung products with this function interact seamlessly with each other, and it is very convenient (easy to use). So if you have a new Samsung phone and other Samsung devices with this feature, using Gear 360 makes browsing and transferring files so easy. However, if your phone is of a different brand, be aware that Bluetooth pairing issues may arise. I've read…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Difficult to say

I have a 2016 model. It was a great device and well used and enjoyed. On the other hand, this 2017 "update” is like a 10-year time travel. general blurriness of the image / video and simply unreliability in operation. The results look like the lenses are covered in oily fingerprints even in good light. Pros: It now works with iOS. Bad: Bad lens. Bad picture quality. Bad image sensors. Poor performance in low light. Bad handling. Bad battery life. Bad reliability. See attached pictures. This…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Useless features

Works great if you know what to do.

I didn't give 4 stars for the product but because of missing information. I just wanted to upload a 360 degree video to YouTube. But first you need to do a little research or else your videos will be smoothed out and not seen. (two 180 degree images do not merge) Here are some helpful tips.1. The default is low resolution. I think people don't understand and think the quality is bad. You must learn to navigate through the menus and input keys.2. Download the Gear 360 app to access additional…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Only available in black

Excellent 360 camera for the price, check with seller before buying.

So for starters this is a great entry-level 360 4k resolution camera. Right now it's on sale for $89. Nothing comes close at this price point. I bought a Samsung 128GB U3 SD card and it works great, reading and writing. The connection with my Samsung Active works perfectly. I find it advisable to have S7, S8, S9 or newer models. With these versions of Samsung smartphones, streaming looks easy and beautiful. For those of you who have used other 4k 360 cameras, yes, there are better options. but…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some complications
