The well-priced Samsung Gear 360 produces some of the best spherical video you can get from a consumer-grade 360-degree camera at the moment. Easy to use on its own or with its full-featured mobile app. Can be used as a single-lens wide-angle video camera

The camera's app currently works on only select Samsung phones. The lenses can be easily scratched and replacements aren't available. Included editing software is Windows-only and editing without it is difficult at best. Transferring clips longer than a c
Abstract: This year, there has been a much larger focus on virtual reality, augmented reality, 360 degree videos, and anything else that can provide a more immersive experience to the viewer. Admittedly, it's all still at a very nascent stage, but there are already...

If the Gear 360 worked with more smartphones, it would be my favorite 360 camera, hands-down. While it doesn't take 4K video like the 360fly, the Gear 360 does capture a full 360 degrees in every direction — and does a pretty good job of it at that. The G...

At $499, the Gear 360 is firmly priced for the enthusiast interested in shooting content this way. Otherwise, it's arguably out of the price range for those who are curious. That falls in line with where 360-degree imaging is today anyway — many may find...
Abstract: After unveiling the Gear 360 camera back in February during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung is finally bringing the product to market on August 19th, coinciding with the launch of the new Galaxy Note 7 and an updated Gear VR headset .The compa...

The Gear 3650 is a solid contender in a relatively new category of device, and like all new device categories, I think 360 photography is still in its infancy, a solution looking for its problem. That said a few of my 360 still images are now some of my f...
If you don't need to live stream, the Gear 360 is a great option. I loved creating 360 degree experiences around home and sharing them. I thought about the potential of sharing fantastic travel scenes with friends and family. To enjoy the 360 Gear, you'll...
