    Have been using mine since September 13, 2017 and the results have been generally excellent. We take so much for granted in this age but I still marvel at seeing my 360° videos with decent sound of those events I want to commemorate.

    هل يمكن ان تكون الصورة غير دائرية اذا صورنا من جهة الامام فقط !؟

  3. RIDE w/ PRIDE says

    Does this device accept a tripod or a stick?

  4. mel johns says

    Thanks thinking about getting one of these cameras…. So thank for the input about the camera

  5. Red Shark says

    This guy lost all credibility when he ask for samsung to allow THEIR CAMERA to work with iphones….like wtf!???

  6. ading adormeo says

    4:16 No one will be stupid enough to use any iphone shit anyway so I would have done the same for sure. And if apple want something similar then they should make one them self then.

  9. donavon gates says

    Although it is not necessary, can you use multiple cameras at once? Switch to different locations…or have multiple cameras set up for the ultimate surround view experience….if that makes sense?

  10. John Smith says

    I had a party and Karaoke really was our main event nothing like hosting a birthday party for my Filipino in-laws the food was A LOT
    They cooked food for a year OMG… but it was just for us on this one event…there were 40 people here.
    Some well….but others really had that Canadian Idol voice.
    So as I whipped out this Samsung's New Gear 360 camera mounted on one of my tripods they all looked at in total awe asking What is DAT, love their accent
    So I recorded a few hours of everyone singing, and they all wanted a copy the next day ayeeee..Folks if you own this camera learn from this….YOU MUST PRESS THE SAVE BUTTON… Yup hours of fun LOST forever. I am going to look the fool now… Damit

  11. Cesar J Gonzalez says

    This camera is compatible with the One Plus 5t or 6T?

  12. John Norris says

    Is this working on LG android phones yet?

  13. Tae Ken Do says

    How well would this work as a camera in your vehicle in case of accidents for legal purposes ?

  14. BATMAN POBRE says

    Ótimo vídeo meu amigo ,pretendo comprar uma aqui no Brasil.
    O problema no Brasil são o preço dos produtos,esse modelo custa uma média de R$800,00

  15. kletops46 says

    Why not make a hat to put the camera on then you won't get you and your arm in the shot ? Obviously you're going to look like a TellyTubby.

  16. Angiel Alpha Stahley says

    Hemorrhoid ring lol 😂 l am dying!!

  17. Kenneth Cruise says

    I need one for my ground blind . Mu hearing isint as good as it usto be and I had a bear walk behind my blind the other evening and didn't even see or hear it .

  18. Donna Peroche says

    To avoid being in the shot. hold above your head when you take a picture

  19. My Samsung S5 ou J5 doesnt connect auto. And i cant connect it. I try to connect manually and it doesnt work… im really mad about it :X

  20. bhaskar samani says

    i would buy it if it had a android app, i don't have a Samsung phone

  21. IAWFilmWorks says

    We've decided to shoot two shorts. One horror and the other a documentary for Reno NV. We are using it on a elevated monopod on a SteadiCam. If I'm lucky a music video. I'll let you know how it turns out.

  22. Rome LJ says

    So it is not compatible with apple?

  23. thefront says

    I'm thinking of buying one to record a popular concert like Elton John's farewell tour. How long will the battery last? He does about a 2.5 to 3 hour show!

  24. Phillip Riggins says

    Good information, thanks for posting this video

  25. Pasosyal 101 says

    All the cons you mentioned actually never bothered me at all. I love the Gear 360 and everything about it. A whole new experience for viewers. Great points you made in this video. Good job! 🙂

  26. mary Romero says

    Does it only works On wifi?Mine only connects wifi and I dont want to use it like that because I travel to places where there is no internet connection at all.😊

  27. George Norkus says

    As a novel thing to do with your Samsung 360: If it could be protected or used not in harms way, how about using it in a sports event? Football, basketball, etc. come to mind.

  28. bhaskar samani says

    the app for it only works on Samsung phones, not all android phones

  29. DarconizerRC says

    Most of your pros and cons are not about this specific cam but about 360 videos in general. That makes this video useless for me.

  30. Michael Havertong says

    Is there an apple product in the same price range? Great detail coverage in your review

  31. Gabriel Mota says

    Is it still worth buying?

  32. Yousaf Yunes says

    Is this Balboa Lake?

  33. Hooked On Diesel says

    Wow this came out a year ago …..where was I at ? Under a rock lol nope the 360 camera would have shown that to

  35. DJFREECAN says

  36. Al Naiem says

    Is it work on Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime?

  37. justin m says

    Can you live stream in 360°

  38. That _ Guy says

    Skydiving

  39. Andrew Adar says

    Hey. Really cool vid! What could I use to mount it externally on my car for 360 video?

  40. Fruitarian says

    Cant we just use our phones to capture 360 photos? I mean it has front & back camera just like 360 cameras

  41. Albert Siciliano says

    I'd like any advice for using one of these cameras in my race car during a race or other track event. I am new to the 360 technology, but think it solves a lot of problems when capturing race car footage. Now I do not have to pick a camera position, because I can capture everything. Appreciate any feedback.

  42. Alain Truong says

    Will this work with a Samsung Galaxy S6?  I read somewhere that it only works with S8.

  43. CrazyCat says

    That’s
    great, also useful tips for me. I’ve learned much from this. See what have we
    done with Xiaomi Mijia Sphere (+Insta360 Studio)– tips for crazy footage during
    the MTB cycling.

  44. 808JOKER says

    Can it pair with Asus Zenfone?

  45. Jon Knutson says

    Great summary. Thanks for your hard work on this one.

  46. KayakDIY says

    Did they add "Live Broadcasting Feature" yet for iPhone users?  The listing on Amazon for 2017 model states only works with Samsung phones.
