The Gear 360 Camera Is SO MUCH FUN

The Gear 360 (2017) is my new favorite camera. Shooting photos and video in a full 360-degree sphere, being able to give my audience total control of that fishbowl, and being able to create infinity spheres called "tiny planets" ... it's the most fun I've had with a camera in years. True, the Gear 360 (2017) is a bit of a downgrade from last year's Gear 360 on the spec sheet, and it would never be my first choice for more conventional photos, but its crazy 360 camera capabilities are so wild that I happily forgive those shortcomings.

[ABOUT THE GEAR 360 2017 PREVIEW]
MrMobile's Samsung Gear 360 2017 (p)review was produced following two weeks with a Gear 360 review device on loan from Samsung. The Gear 360 2017 has been paired with a Galaxy S7 edge and another Samsung Galaxy smartphone for the duration of testing. MrMobile's Gear 360 is a preproduction unit running prerelease software, and so any conclusions stated in this video are preliminary pending final retail release.

Can't wait to get my hands on this thing! I've been using the original Gear 360 for over a year now and have fallen in love with 360 media. This updates version will finally bring 4K video quality in a much easier to handle package. Great video, got me all excited for the release!

[@timacrow]

I bought two of these in 2019 for about $60 each. A lot of fun and I would recommend!

[@danm4320]

What I love about this review is how you don't just identify the good and bad but literally talk about using it. Like you said, it's not perfect but very fun to use. For me, if I was into 360 videoing then that's good enough for me.

[@davidhunsinger1587]

How do you fix the black screen with circular lines when you're trying to convert the videos on your computer? Thx

[@TralfazConstruction]

Amazing little thing. Just received a Gear 360 Camera yesterday and I took it with me to the shore on-the-fly while I went fishing. This camera has a lot of potential; now I want to take it into the forest when I'm trout fishing and as the leaves turning here in the Northeast.

[@Prince_Sidon]

Fisher, while you're filming stuff in public, do people often give you the "he's a crazy person" look?

[@TheMrMobile]

Dunno. Too busy being a crazy person to notice.

[@6644pmr]

Nech Pech I notice those looks when I'm at my local park in my bird feeding underpants. They just seem jealous to me.

I wasn't able to get it to work with the iPhone as there is no app. The special site on the QR code attached to it doesn't say it's compatible with iOS.

Guess that's what those little wrist straps like the ones on the Wii remote are for. Great vid btw~ ^-^

[@CyclingDaz]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Hi Michael, quick question, you know you said it only works on some Galaxy phones and iPhones, is that just for remote and live viewing etc.? Could I potentially take a 360 picture or video, take the MicroSD card out and upload it manually to a website on my laptop for example, without using a phone?

[@altangerelbookzer3158]

Truth be told, sometimes I forget it's a tech stuff review by listening to your voice and your narration.

[@tuanazleyibrahim2038]

This video makes me want to buy one... Thanks MrMobile.

[@OliverGeistbeck]

Got one yesterday and I am pretty pleased with it even though I was not happy about the fact that I had to get a Samsung S6 just to be able to fool around with it as my Huawei H7 is not compatible. Samsung said that maybe in future this will be fixed but they can't tell for sure because it is up to Huawei and not to Samsung to make those products compatible with each other.

[@jordanm4320]

great video and your eyes look like you were smoking that good stuff lol

[@TralfazConstruction]

I received this camera as my gift for ordering the Note8 in 2017. I use it when I'm surf fishing in the spring and fall with my brothers. After nearly three years it's still a blast to use. I have it plugged into a Samsung charging slab and the Gear 360 records the full day's activities. Also, this camera works well as a dashcam.

[@dcresistance]

Those spherical panoramas looks amazing. Do you think LG will put out an updated version of their 360 Cam to try to match Samsung's? Compared to the Gear 360, their camera last year was worse on the video side and technically better on the audio side (5.1 surround vs stereo), but the volume was much lower.

[@finnersmcspeed5646]

That intro 😂

[@smannymanny6755]

I have the LG 360 camera. It's audio is really great. It has surround sound recording. Plus it can do 16 MP stills, and 2k video. You can pick one up for around $170, and it works with all Androids, and iPhones.

[@sulphuricacid16]

how would u rate the previous 360 camera vs this?which is better?

[@drakeagin8725]

thanks! for video)

[@YouAreBreathing]

I preordered a Note 8 and went with the 360 camera instead of the 128gb microSD card and wireless charger bundle (I already have a wireless charger, and I don't need 128gb of storage since I have a 256gb microSD card in a phone). Looks like I made the right choice. (Now to find out how to mount this to my car's roof so I can play as a Google Streetview car).

[@kwanpakshing]

Mr. Mobile is fun guy . i like the review because it tells the day-to-day truth here.

[@AydenYe]

nice review. it works great with VeeR VR app!!

[@alwilliam3379]

Tmo got a current promo, buy the Galaxy S8/S8+ and get the Gear 360 (2017) for just $49 (normally $200+). I was going to skip on the S8 to wait for the Note 8, but it's a good deal to pass, so i'll be heading to a store in a couple days. Thanks for your review and insight on the Gear 360.

[@MultiMister09]

Your'e just awesome.

[@tiestofalljays]

Glorious

[@CynicalDriver]

Got one as my bonus for getting a Note 8. While I would have gotten more use out of the charger base and mSD card... I couldn't pass up a free 360 camera. Too bad I don't have an interesting enough life to have things to film with it.

[@fifen1846]

I'd like to see a review from the theta 360 cameras

[@abcomnxyz98]

guess we have the htc RE to thank for this design. why haven't we seen your htc RE review from back when you were in pocket now?

[@ayied89]

I use the old version to shot 360 photos for google street view .. if you hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds you will see 3 options *1* is to connect to the apps in phone. *2* to connect to a remote control. *3* is google street view. it's good but not perfect don't expect to much from it *the old version* thank you.

[@TrippleZ3D]

Cool video!You are wright about the picture quality and I also believe that the earlier model is better in resolutio(like in sam phones;they are like going backwards in resolution in newest models!) and at all!Having said that the only things that the newest model got better is a smaller design and the ability to do a 360 live stream!Guess they understood the quality by themselves since the entry pre order price is as low as 250€ compared to the previous model which was double!

[@TrippleZ3D]

Well dont get me wrong,I'm a samsung fan and got a S7 edge(had the S6) and just bought (yesterday) a 360 older version cam for 151€ to try it(they went all on sale cause of the new model).In my opinion is that my S6 was doing faaar better pictures than the S7edge!If not faaar better lets say better and lets be bald and say equal!How come they were also bald and transfered that camera to the S8?Thats the great dissapointment for me.I mean others are releasing phones with more than 20M pix cameras and this is samsung,they should have a cam matching those competitors but instead they are going backwards!

[@kaijam]

Yeah, the new Gear 360 is cool! I should have used mine to take a 360 selfie when I ran into Mr Mobile and Modern Dad after Samsung Unpacked but I wasn't thinking!

[@jonathanshepard1517]

Love the toilet seat.. lol

[@isegrim1978]

You can pick the first generation Gear 360 up on eBay, for a dirt cheap price. Probably due to the last buy a s7 get a 360 for free options over the last month's. I got mine unopened and unused for just 100 bucks, which i consider an acceptable price.

[@simondinsmore4236]

Great camera. A shame it doesnt work with other makes of phone

[@mannysavage88]

Glad I came across this video, I was thinking about buying one but now I see it's nowhere near worth over $300!! It's cool that I live in Boston too and got see it thru the lens of that over rated camera lol

I got one a few days ago as an offer when I purchased an iPhone X’s for my son and I already like it except that no matter what I try I simply can not get the app to download on to my iPad Air 2 . Someone please shed some light on this issue

[@EAOSO]

Michael, is it worth picking it up if I already have the original gear 360? Thank you.

[@kozjegyzo]

Hey Michael, great video as always! My view on this camera... I just got my New Gear 360 (2017) a few days ago, and I'm returning it asap! IMO it's horrible compared to the old (2016) one. The photo quality is just plainly bad, really bad. All of the photos come out soft. There are no points in the picture that are sharp. I've tested it in perfect lighting condition, and it's still not sharp. The video suffers from the same soft mess. The stitching of the photos in absolutely horrid. The 2016 managed it in a few pixels, yeah sometimes it was a little off, but it was ok. The 2017 model widens the stitching over a large area and blurs everything. It's very noticeable and looks really bad. Also the quality of the lenses on the 2017 seem worse than the 2016. Way more distortion and softness on the edges. This might be why the the stitching looks so bad too. For some reason my model doesn't have live streaming! It's on the box, but the neither the camera, nor the app has the feature. I assume this'll be fixed via software update, but it's slap in the face of the consumer, who buys it thinking they'll be able to live stream right out of the box. I'm really disappointed with the camera, I expected to be better, or just as good, as the 2016 model, but it is noticeably worse. Of course it's way cheaper, but if you are looking for quality, get the 2016 model. The form of it is nice if you have tiny hands, otherwise just by holding it naturally, you'll be touching the lens and smudging it. The 2016 model's handle is way more comfortable. Also it turns into a fairly stable tripod. The 2017 has a rubber ring to do this, but it's a joke. I'm always afraid when setting down the camera, that it'll fall over. There are some good things about the 2017 one. It's faster than the old one, and the size makes it more portable. The video resolution is better on paper, but higher resolution won't do you any good if the image is bad from the start, and it is bad. All in all DON'T GET THE 2017 GEAR 360! Get the 2016 model it's way better, and it'll probably come down in price eventually.

[@ZanesFacebook]

To live stream you simply open whatever app you use to live stream... Then you pick the camera... Just like you would if you were using the phone camera or any other. You don't open the camera app and make it choose a streaming app. That's back-asswards

[@thisisnotreal7016]

I got the 2016 Model for 100€ and the gear vr black version for 27€ everything through Ebay brand new
