    If you're curious about 360 cameras but don't want to spend the money on one something high end, I'd highly recommend the Gear 360. The photo and video quality is decent enough for social media but that's about it. I've strapped this to the top of my Mavic 2 drone and got some pretty interesting footage which makes me want to upgrade to a higher end 360 camera. This camera works best in bright areas. The low light picture and video quality is pretty bad but in all honesty, you can't expect much from a camera in this price range. The app connects really easy (I have a Galaxy S9+) and is really simple to use. Again...if you're curious about 360 cameras, I'd say this is the way to go....and of course if you're on the Samsung platform (It looks like she doesn't play kindly with others)

    I dont think this would be a great camera at full price; that being said, I am glad I bought it. It is easy to use. The picture quality is great. It drains the power from.my phone which is interesting but it's nothing I can't correct by ensuring i kill the app when I am done. I dont have to mess with wonky software and can use whatever video editing software I want

    it's a cool camera; the resolution when you play back on samsung VR isn't the greatness. The editing software needs to be better, but for the price it's worth every penny if you want to take 360 video's. needs a mic input too.

    Great little camera. Easy to use. Need to transfer to phone with the gear 360 app before uploading to a computer if using a 360 editor program. I use Cyberlink PowerDirector 15. Not so good at night unfortunately. No iris or exposure control.

    This is a couple years old now, so it's definitely not as good as some out there, but it's also Much cheaper than those. If you just want to capture some high quality 360 photos and video, this will do the job.

    Loved the camera, easy to use and stream in 360. Battery life could be better, but I just kept it plugged in. Stitching was better than I expected

    This camera does what its suppose to only draw backs I've seen with it is 1st of all the Samsung stitching app works but there's no way to edit it on the app 2nd is on low lighting the quality is terrible 3rd it really only catches what its close to anything relatively far away is blurry and last of all on high speed shots aka I took it to a bowling ally it doesn't really get fast motion very well oh and the SD card slot is a royal pain to get in and out but beyond that its awsome you can use your phone as a remote to turn it on and pause it definitely glad I got it

    unboxing the camera is quite simple and the operating procedures are not that difficult. however, after a few uses, i decided to test a good amount of time recording with the 4k option. i have to sadly report that it crashed after 10 mins and then i turned it back on and it crashed again after 3 min. so i let it cool down and decided to test it again. it failed again within the 15 min mark. i think the message read, "stopped recording due to heating". that's a pretty nasty message. so today i'm exchanging the product because the quality of the video is not bad. so i'm hoping that the next unit will have the updates or quality built in. i'll let you know how it goes.

    This is a great camera, great quality, feels great on your hand, however I gave it a 3 stars since I do not see any use for it. This has a very limited use and for the price there are much better products out there.

    This was a give away with the purchase of my Samsung 9+ and it goes everywhere with me. The panoramic pictures this camera takes is amazing and so easy to use. With the 360° app on my phone it takes the guess work out of making great pictures a snap.
