However, I wanted to edit all the 360 media files into one single vlog. Samsung Gear 360 App allows individual file-sharing to Youtube or Facebook. The biggest difficulty I encountered was transferring the files and editing the videos via a Mac. Hopefully Samsung releases a new firmware or app to solve this. Often I can spot the stitch line on the video and photo. Also, there is a minor flaw in the stitching. However, the final viewing quality on Facebook & Youtube underwent heavy compression and the final result was less than satisfactory. The original uncompressed picture, video and audio quality was surprisingly promising (viewing on the smart phone and computer). Before I can share any video or photo, I have to stitch & save both images and footages via the Samsung Gear 360 app. Shooting 360 was a breeze but it took additional steps to share the video on social media. By the time I reached home, there was still 60% battery power remaining in the camera. I shot over 20 photographs, 4 time-lapse videos and 10-minute footages. The camera was switched on continuously for about 90 minutes. Fortunately, the Gear 360 worked just fine without the phone.īattery life was pretty decent. The phone acts as a remote viewfinder and controller for the 360-camera. I was so excited to test the camera that I forgot to bring my Samsung phone out.
Just turn on the spheric camera and the operation comes intuitively.
The Samsung Gear 360 is very easy to use. If not, this would be a very heavy investment for anyone who wants to own it. Thankfully, I have a spare Samsung Note 5. After battling many days of considerations, I gave in to temptation to try it.
When Samsung launched the new Gear 360 camera 2 weeks ago, I was skeptical about the visual quality. I was one of the first users of Kodak SP360 and Ricoh Theta, the low video resolution was unforgivable. Most of my past experiences with 360-video-cameras were rather disappointing.
