    I have tried a few 360 cams . This one is probably one of the easiest I have used . I like the live streaming feature . The quality of sound is great . The picture quality is what I have come to expect from 360 cams .. good but not great . Nice fit with my Samsung Galaxy phone.

    I've only been able to play around with it a little bit but so far it has been easy. My only concern is sharing the photos. When I send them to someone else they get a photo that is more of a panorama. I'm still investigating what it takes for them to get the 360 effect.

    I have not had time to use yet. After unboxing, this camera seems to be of decent quality. Setup on my s8 went real smooth with no problems. I still have not used and do not know how the software or image quality will be. I plan to have fun with this camera and hopefully it holds up.

    Originally I thought this purchase would be a nice gift for my parents. However, the camera doesn't work well with non-samsung devices and the battery life is terrible. I tried it a few times on my samsung device and it worked well enough to show off as a gimmick. I don't feel like the resolution can even be compared to 4k just because of how much that resolution is stretched even in the correct viewer. Upon trying to return the product I realized I had waited too long, and online these things only sell for about $70 new. I paid $150 not even a year ago. What a nightmare.

    Easy to use. Positive and negative fact for Gear 360 camera is to small for quality photos need to buy stick. Camera easy to use quick pairing. Live striming works well only with Galaxy S8 had difficulties with S7 streaming. Image quality could be better along with bigger battery.

    I purchased the camera thinking it was probably just a gimmick and that I would likely never use it. Well, I was wrong. It is far better than expected and the use of a smart phone as a remote is terrific. I have several projects in mind for it. I have some ideas for videos but I am going to use the photos first. This camera appears to have far more practical uses than I expected.

    We bought this camera for our vacation to Vietnam and Thailand and it was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted something that would capture our experiences a little more than just a snap shot. The 360 view is amazing, you can take a still shot or video, single lens or both lens go a 360 view. Very light and easy to carry and the live view is really cool. Definitely worth the money!

    Got this little guy on sale and when I tested it out, it worked like a charm. Even though I don't have many uses for it right now, I plan taking it with me wherever I go, just in case I see something that deserves a 360 degree view.

    This little camera is very fun to use and create 360 videos and photos, it connects fine with my S9+. It's better to use in open spaces and the real purpose is to create content for VR. Non 360 pictures and videos are good as well.

    Bought this on sale and it is amazing. I take it everywhere and its fun showing people the videos and pictures in 4k. I did buy a seperate carrying case because the one it came with is not thick enough to protect if it falls. I also got a 128GB memory card to make sure i always have enough space. I reccomend it for everyone in need of a 360 camera.
