The Cheapest 360 Camera You Can Buy in 2023

[@JulesMariani]

❗️UPDATE: As of Feb 2024 the gear will no longer connect to my phone. I’ve got an ugly paper weight.

[@basma777]

Oh nooo, My dad got ours about 5 years ago and now the batterie dies so fast so its useless too. Would ou recommend another cheap 360 cam?

[@JulesMariani]

Still trying to work on a good alternative. Insta360 is still a little too expensive for the quality imo. Keeping my eyes peeled for 2024@@basma777

[@basma777]

@@JulesMariani ive been eyeing the insta360 X3 but its also expensive to me too, such a struggle

[@looselycollected7505]

I got one free with the last Samsung Note I owned. Swapped to a newer Samsung and I can't make the app work. Dumped the app before I knew that you couldn't get a new one. And yeah, mine has become a paperweight too. I keep hoping some hacker would write a free app that would work. So far no luck.

sd cards exist guys

[@Iron_Condorr]

Ebay is selling these for less than $20..... thank you for having the only relevant video. Good vibez, the world needs more people like you ❤️

[@SteveT-kb1jy]

I have a Gear 360 that hasn't been used in a long time and I just came across your video. Mine would not connect to my I Phone either. When you clicked on "get connected" in the app it just said to go to settings>wi-fi, then select Gear 360. But, when you came back to the app, it remained the same. After trying a lot of different things, I was finally able to get it to connect through the app. Not sure if this will work for others, but its worth trying! Under settings on the phone, go to gear 360 and make sure Local Network is on. Then, connect the camera through wifi as you normally would in settings, and then click on the info (circled i). Make sure the last two settings Configure DNS and Configure Proxy are on automatic, and not manual or off. Then, you should be able to go the app and no longer see "get connected", but rather Camera, Gallery, and Settings. The photo mode worked fine, and although the video mode won't allow you to preview, it is still recording the video. Not perfect, but still able to use these cameras.

[@a1ankaymusic]

I just bought one of these for 30 bucks on eBay, and have read a lot after that it won’t work on an iPhone. Did this really work for you? I will try when mine comes in.

[@SteveT-kb1jy]

I just now checked to make sure and yes, it still connects fine. Make sure you go to settings first and once it's connect on wifi, open the app and choose camera. Hope it works!

[@mikeroche8544]

Does it overheat? What is the max recording time?

[@JulesMariani]

I didn’t notice any overheating. According to google, 130 minutes.

[@Byron_Daniel_Naidoo]

I have the first version, it overheats and switches off

[@tren-y2m]

I don't have the camera yet, but I got the apk for the gear 360 and samsung accessory service and the app is now working on my modern-ish phone (flip 4). So, if you have an android phone, this still works Great video!

[@lifebeyondrepair]

what version of the 360 gear apk? also what samsung accessory service apk version? tested multiple and none work on S23

[@woah._store]

Hey sorry to bother you, but what tripod did you use for the Bike at 0:37 ? Thanks.

[@JulesMariani]

No bother at all. I used a selfie stick attached to a clip camera mount. Something like this: www.amazon.com/UTEBIT-Ballhead-Photography-Accessories-Photoshoot/dp/B07QV1HYVZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3JD2ZD3GU8CPG&keywords=clip+camera+mount&qid=1691541489&sprefix=clip+camera+mount%2Caps%2C625&sr=8-3

[@ReghyTs]

Good video, straight to the point and with everything I needed to know to make a purchase

[@barrywebber100]

I bought the Gear 360 2017 from Amazon UK for £27 in April 2023 knowing about the lack of software support. I also purchased a used Samsung S7 phone and the camera and software works ok with the phone. Another working method is to have a Windows 7 installation which also allows the Gear 360 software to work as intended. For the price paid and a bit of hassle getting the essential software to work I can't complain, it was a great bargain entry into 360 filming. I have multiple short 360 clips made with it on my YT channel including many from Rome, Italy at the Colosseum, also Pompeii and elsewhere!

[@10thplanetmoon47]

Take a look at Andre Granjo on here, I can use my gear 360 again 😀

[@hescoming_backsoon]

Yo my dear! You absolutely killed this review. Answered every question I had. Your good at this bro! Thank you so much.. The stich lines is a hard sell for me.. but golly that price is good. Thanks again.

[@issaissa7240]

Hello goods, but hwo u encode Video with 360 ? i put my video on Cyberlink gear 360 and works, i put the export video, to google photo not working, in vlc, is flat, on Youtub video is flat, how to export video with 360 view please ? Thanks

[@fishycomics]

the gear 360 2017 is an awesome Jpeg motion camera for sure but Samsung decommissioned the app, I should take mine out and use it more often its for sure a crisp shot

[@Hittheslope]

Hei I recently bought one of these, and I want to buy also a stick My question is, what selfie stick would be compatible with?

[@Endless_Venom]

I just found my Gear 360 camera after several years and I decided to play around with it again just to find out the app (which i surprisingly still had from older phone transfers) it is no longer being supported...the app opens and everything but the moment i go to connect the gear to the app, the app will crash and theres nothing that can fix it. Sad to say it's going back in its box back to where it came from

[@firdausmohamed]

Thank you so much for the video, May I know what type of monopod or camera stick you use for your footage in this video?

[@JulesMariani]

[@ArnelBulos]

How did you make the pod invisible?

[@JulesMariani]

Hi, it is in the stitch line, so therefore “invisible”

[@kelvineldridge]

Thanks for sharing Jules. The Samsung Gear 2017 was my first 360 camera. Not great but not too bad either. Still have some videos on my channel which I checked thanks to your video. Good to reminisce.

[@Scottslookingabout]

stitching is software function, or post processed, each stitching software will do it differently. Gear 360 action director for the PC is free with the serial number from the camera, fyi.

[@Victor-uc7kc]

Unfortunately Action Director can no longer be installed on computers since it needs to be activated through an internet connection to Samsung servers that were removed, so even with your serial number or direct usb connection to the camera it is no longer usable (unless you already had it installed and activated before they disabled the servers)

[@javiersolarte9018]

The quality on your video is amazing! What settings did you use on the camera? Do you upload any 360 videos?

[@quazimoto5241]

I just dug one out of my old electronics bin. I think I got it with an old Note8/9 preorder along with their Gear VR headset. I kinda wish I used it more when I was mich more active but Im reyinf to think of things to do with it now...
