Aww, yeah! Enjoyed watching this video, Rivers. Can't wait to test this out on Tuesday. Purchasing the selfiestick and tripods now.

[@Somecooltech1]

Thanks Justin. How are you liking the camera? I just took mine to Yosemite and it was pretty fun.

[@ZestedVim]

I watched many comparison videos on the Gear 360's and this one is by far the best and most informative. Thank you.

[@DDFGhostHunting]

Iv got the 2016 version really love love it use it all the time but I want that new 2018 version looks amazing.

[@TheRobbSki]

Great video! Thanks a lot! I definitely wanna see some comparison video & stills. I just returned my 2016, and now I'm waiting for Best Buy to get the 2017 in. Supposed to happen 2 days ago, but they're clueless as to what's going on. Ugh.

[@TheMezaFamily]

I would love to see a comparison video! Great video by the way.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Thanks bro it helped me

[@SuperPeteJames]

Have you done the side by side video comparison? The one side by side video comparison I have seen on KZbin in 4K appeared to show a softer/lower resolution image on the 2017!

[@TheMezaFamily]

The manfrotto tripod is nice, there's a newer one now, will the legs come out in the shot when recoding in 360? The legs seem wide

[@Biagolini-Jr-Biology]

Hey man, do you know how long each camera can hold a video recording before overheats? In other words, do you know what the maximum video length for each camera is? (I am looking for this information everywhere and I do not find an answer). Thanks

[@pelonchas08]

Thanks for the video! Do you know if the 2016 model is compatible with Samsung A7(2016)?

[@markmarx9578]

Great video! I just ordered the 2016 Gear 260 for $164. I could not justify buying the 2017 Gear 360 for almost $270 more. I'm hoping I made the right choice. Looking forward to receiving my camera. I would love to see photo and video comparisons for the 2016 & 2017 gear cameras.

[@TheRobbSki]

Where at? 2017 Gear 360 is only $229 or cheaper, everywhere in the US! Only $49 if you get an S8 or S8+!

[@Teamshmo]

I ended up getting the 2016 since I got it on sale for $80. Can't beat that deal.

[@SourStrawberrys]

Team Shmo You can get the 2017 vs for that price on eBay. Stop shopping in store or on Amazon. They do not always have the best prices even when they are on sale.

[@Teamshmo]

SourStrawberrys I'm in Canada. The 2017 model is like $400 after tax. No sale will ever come close to $80 here, unfortunately.

[@SourStrawberrys]

Team Shmo You're telling me there is not person on eBay selling the device for $100 or less right now? EBay is not a retailer. It is just regular people selling items usually cheaper than buying out of big retailers like best buy or walmart.

[@SourStrawberrys]

Team Shmo I just purchased the 2017 model 5 minutes ago off eBay brand new sealed for $88 total. Right now retailers sam's club it is like $199 and online shops such as Amazon right now it is $157+ shipping and tax. Save myself over 70 bucks.

[@SourStrawberrys]

Team Shmo My parents just bought it from Sam's club for $199+tax. I'm taking that one back to the store and keeping the same one I just bought new and sealed off eBay for $88. My parents don't know how to shop online but you save a crap ton of money doing so sometimes.

[@Sourdoughgirl]

So... where's the link to the comparison videos that you promised to post?

[@niryagosto6522]

what editing software would you recommend for this type of video?

[@davidkristanto2739]

want to ask, bro, can this Samsung 360 2016 and 2017 camera be used independently without a smartphone?

[@Riffman42]

Is it possible to upgrade the firmware on the 2016 version so that it works with the iphone?

[@tonydunn3244]

I just got a 2016 version for $99. I want it for only 1 thing. I'm going to watch the total solar eclipse from Oregon on August 21. I want to capture the entire sky as the Moon's shadow approaches from the west, encompasses us, then receeds from us to the East. After watching your vid, I'm tempted to purchase the 2017 because of what you said about low light and resolution. Any chance you can make a sunset time lapse with both so I can see if I want to upgrade?

[@SkyborneProductions]

Hey, I have a question for you. I found a video on KZbin that shows a bluetooth remote control for Samsung Gear 360 (2016), link: KZbin /watch?v=B8KiNjTLFtE Will any bluetooth remote control shutter (especially the one that came with Benro MK10 tripod) work for the 2016 Gear 360? Thanks in advance !

[@josephtony8425]

Can you use the gear 360 2017 with a oneplus 7 (Android 10)

[@iisbrains]

Nice review. Does the new camera overheat and shut off after about 15 minutes recording like the older one?

[@Somecooltech1]

I haven't' had it overheat while shooting but I usually never shoot continuously for more that 5 min. But I do have it on for over half an hour at a time shooting here and there and its never shut off. I have had it shut off while transferring a large video to the phone though.

[@YourLifeVR]

I use the new Gear360 to live stream church every week. It runs for a solid hour with no problems, but my phone gets really hot, so I use it without the cover, and the phone dies before the camera. Almost afraid to hook up a battery pack because I don't want it to explode...lol. But still, no problems on the camera side using it's most demanding feature.

[@cdhanks]

Another reviewer set one up and let it run for over an hour with no overheating.

I would like to give that a spin

[@Somecooltech1]

Its pretty fun. If you haven't got a Galaxy S8 you can get it now with a Gear 360 1017 for $49.

[@RaphaelVolpe]

I can do live in facebook or instagram with 2016 model?

[@ahmernc]

I can't read the wifi password from the camera... Help needed... Wts the default wifi password 2016 edition

[@bgmafuz]

Dear sir, i use Xiaomi Note 4x, Android V: 7.0, can i use Samsung Gear 360 (2017)? and is it compatible on Google maps or street view?

[@J_w077]

grate vid bro

[@Somecooltech1]

Thank you.

[@nguyenpham815]

Ai có link cái chân tripod như trong clip ko ạ

[@marshja76]

do more media player reviews

[@garrygadget]

On the 2017 model if you select single lens then its 3mp which is woefull in its quality. I debated long and hard and ended up buying the 2016 model and very glad I did.The diference in video quality isnt obviously apparent and the 30mp stills are superb especialy as unused but 2nd hand 2016 models are £100? Considering getting the nano air for live streaming and the cost of two cameras only equates to one 2017 gear 360 (especialy as it only streams in 2K same as the nano air).

[@dtiydr]

I would like this 2017 model to be exactly like the previous round one because how the hell should I now mount this new one to my helmet?!! The handle should have been detachable of course or something, Samsung listen! Because I don't think there is another model of this like the previous one?

[@bagayatkarakshay]

Does it support oder Android phones??

[@Mista300c]

so if u got the 2k16 should I get the 2k17

[@Somecooltech1]

If you use it a lot than I'd say its definitely worth the upgrade for the better battery life and better video quality.

[@YourLifeVR]

Easy answer, 2k16 for pictures, 2k17 for video. Neither does the other well.

[@nickguidry2213]

the 2016 has better quality for both photos and video. More pixels

[@YourLifeVR]

No sir, you are incorrect. They have different video resolutions than photo resolutions. 2016 video is 3840x1920 at 30fps. 2017 is 4096x2160 at 24 fps "true 4k" 2016 photo is 30 megapixels, while 2017 is only 15. Bottom line, you need both. Or you can just buy the Vuze 3D camera for $800. I have all three.

[@SourStrawberrys]

Why is it that people say they last the same or last longer but no one says how long they last? Common sense will tell you to mention how long they last.

[@jonathanramos7285]

Funny how youtubers dont agree🤣
