However, Samsung’s extremely good Gear 360 is not without its faults, namely Samsung’s decision to only support Samsung, iOS, and Mac OSX devices. However, thanks to Samsung’s new Gear 360, the 4K footage not only looks fantastic on-device but it also looks quite good on YouTube.

The images on the new Gear 360 are about half the resolution of the original Gear 360 camera but they don’t look worse in any way, in fact they often look better thanks to improved stitching due to the sensors being closer together.Īlso, I thought that 4K video wasn’t enough to make good quality 360 video, this was because of the countless poor quality 360 videos that I saw in 4K. Samsung’s new Gear 360 (2017) features two 8 Megapixel sensors and displays 4K video. One of the things that I had previously thought about 360 cameras was that because of the nature of many of these cameras highly curved lenses, image quality simply had to suffer and that higher resolution sensors were the solution. From my experience, YouTube has much better quality than Facebook and I’m frankly embarrassed to do live streams in 360 on Facebook with the image quality in its current state.ĨK and Deep Pockets Aren’t Mandatory for Good 360 Video It also serves a second purpose in that it allows me to see how aggressive Facebook and YouTube’s compression algorithms are on the video files and I hate to say it but both companies have a VERY long way to go. This effect has been produced time and time again with almost every single 360 camera I test as I upload nearly every single camera’s photos and videos to Facebook and YouTube for my friends to see and provide feedback on. Additionally, I hear countless feedback from my friends that they feel like they’re actually there. The great thing about 360 cameras for someone like me is that I’m no longer excluded from my photos and videos. Obviously I haven’t tried every camera on the market but I have gone out of my way to try as many as I possibly can and there were a few cameras that came out recently that have really caught my attention.

None of those cameras particularly satisfied my needs as a photography enthusiast and someone who appreciates good video (I don’t think I’m a very good videographer though). I have used some of the ‘first-gen’ cameras like the Ricoh Theta, Samsung Gear 360 (2016) and the LG 360 camera.
