The Gear360 comes in a nice compact box. It comes with a sleeve and a cable (USB-C to USB). It is so small that it hardly takes up space in my handbag. The setup to connect the Gear360 to my smartphone was quick and simple. After that, it always reconnects to my smartphone at lightning speed.
I quickly learned the keys on the Gear360. You therefore do not need your mobile phone. There is a small screen on which you can see the battery status, remaining memory and connection settings. But I do find it easier to use the Gear360 via my smartphone. Especially if I want to quickly change settings.
After I had taken nice videos and photos, I was able to view them quickly via my smartphone. Quickly and simply I selected the best images and saved nice photos. You can apply many more operations via the software that you can put on your computer.
In the beginning I had some trouble discovering what you can do with the Gear360. I also had to find the best way to hold the Gear360. But once I had taken some photos/videos I saved nice, creative photos that can count on a lot of positive response. Also filming with only 1 lens gives a good quality of image. The sound is picked up very well even if you don't speak loudly. I was pleasantly surprised about this.
During a trip we did an altitude trail. I filmed this with the Gear360. Seeing this again with the Gear VR gives me the creeps.
The Gear360 ensures that you never miss a beat because you can watch everything from 360 degrees and share the experience with your family and friends.

In the past you had to put together 360 degree photos manually and that took a while. A few years ago, the Nexus phones offered the ability to combine 360-degree photos from different photos that you take manually. This was already a lot faster, but there was no guarantee that the result would be seamless. With the Gear 360, this is all made very easy: with one click, two 180-degree photos are taken that you can merge in the app. In addition, you can also make videos with it that you can then watch back in VR or post as a 360 degree video on Facebook and YouTube. In practice, the promised 4K for video turns out to be close to full-HD or maybe even slightly less. For the price you have a very nice toy that allows you to take the most unique photos and videos of the moment. In short, a must for gadget lovers and creative hobby photographers! Do you want more quality? Then you will have to choose another model or wait for a new generation of models.

Since we have the Samsung Gear 360 at home, I have been taking photos and videos almost every day. Our daughter has just been born and so I always film a part of the family visit. That way she can go back to these moments herself later. I just think this is fantastic. It took some getting used to how to use the device. It works best with the Gear 360 VR app in my opinion. And then you immediately see what exactly is being filmed, although I have already used it standalone. Connecting to my Samsung S6 went very smoothly via bluetooth. I mainly use the Gear 360 outdoors in combination with my own tripod. I'm a bit afraid that the rubber ring in which you have to place the device does not provide sufficient support. The image quality of the photos is good to very good. When filming, I think it's a little less good, but still very impressive. When filming, I get the best shots if I fix the device somewhere. To film while you walk around I got the best shots through a selfie stick. As a bonus, you also get a bag to store the Gear 360. Always handy as I now always have this in my pocket. This way it is protected against scratches. To edit all my videos I use Gear 360 Action Director. This is free with your Gear 360 and is registered by pairing the Gear 360 with your PC. Make sure you get the most recent version. The previous version was with a registration code. Price/quality I am satisfied with the performance of this device.
