360-degree video recording nearly at 4K resolution is being carried out by Korean Knotball
The Samsung Gear 360 is a compact, spherical camera designed for capturing 360-degree videos and photos. Equipped with two high-resolution lenses, each capable of 15 megapixels, this device allows for nearly 4K-quality footage.
The camera is easy to use and compatible with a range of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, and Note 5. To make the most of your footage, the Samsung Gear 360 requires a 360-degree video editing software for PCs, such as the "Gear 360 Action Director."
One unique feature of the Samsung Gear 360 is its versatility. It can be attached to a helmet for use during activities like skiing, providing an immersive, first-person perspective. However, excessive shaking during recording can lead to motion sickness for inexperienced VR viewers. To help alleviate this issue, a tripod can be used to stabilize the camera.
The Samsung Gear 360 is designed to be robust, withstanding dust, mud, and moisture. Despite its small size, the camera has an integrated microphone for sound recording. The device also communicates with the smartphone via an app, currently available only for Android devices.
While the Samsung Gear 360 offers modes for video, photo, time-lapse, and video loop, it lacks a good image stabilizer. However, it does have an automatic angle correction feature. It's also worth noting that natural lighting conditions can pose a challenge for the camera, while consistent artificial light is easier to handle.
One interesting aspect of the Samsung Gear 360 is that the camera operator is always in the frame when holding the camera. This can be a creative choice for some, but for others, it may be a drawback. The camera defaults to one of the two cameras as the front, setting the central point of the photos and videos.
The Samsung Gear 360 has a diameter of about 60 millimeters, making it easy to carry around. It's a fascinating tool for those interested in capturing immersive, 360-degree footage, offering a unique perspective on the world. However, it's important to note that excessive shaking during recording can lead to motion sickness for inexperienced VR viewers, and natural lighting conditions can pose a challenge for the camera. With a tripod and careful lighting, the Samsung Gear 360 can deliver stunning, nearly 4K-quality 360-degree footage.
