Ben Claremont (Life inwards 360) gives a rattling detailed comparing of the 2017 Samsung Gear 360 in addition to the master copy Gear 360. I'll allow y'all know my receive got on these ii cameras every bit well.
Here's the video:
SECOND OPINION
Here are my ain thoughts on the two:
The original Gear 360 is genuinely a rattling expert 360 camera. Its biggest work was pathetic compatibility. It worked entirely amongst high-end Samsung smartphones (S6 in addition to above). In addition, the desktop software was for Windows only.
As for me, I liked it but I receive got to acknowledge I didn't purpose it all that oftentimes afterward a while. The photos were overnice but non reliable because of blurgate. I liked it good plenty for videos but 1 affair I didn't similar was the glare (something that Ben notes inwards his comparing every bit well). As far every bit I tin tell, the glare is a reflection of the concentric rings to a greater extent than or less the lens. It's quite distracting, inwards my opinion, in addition to rattling hard to correct. And mayhap out of laziness, I flora it a hassle to convey the Gear 360 to a greater extent than or less because it was non pocketable in addition to required me to convey a handbag for it. I also didn't similar how long it took to sew the videos.
The 2017 Gear 360 improved on most of these issues. The 2017 Gear 360 is right away compatible amongst iPhones in addition to some lower-end Samsung smartphones. There's no blurgate in addition to it is to a greater extent than resistant to overheating. It is much less susceptible to glare. It is easier to deport to a greater extent than or less because of its to a greater extent than ergonomic shape. The photograph resolution wasn't every bit high every bit that of the 2016 Gear 360, but it looked quite good. The video looks well-nigh the every bit the master copy Gear 360 but doesn't receive got every bit much glare. Stitching videos even hence takes a piece though.
Comparing the two, for many people there's genuinely no comparing because many don't receive got a vociferation upwardly or PC that's compatible amongst the master copy Gear 360, which makes the 2017 Gear 360 the entirely alternative for them. If y'all practise receive got a compatible vociferation upwardly in addition to PC, I intend the 2017 Gear 360 is more practical and to a greater extent than usable for most people. On the other hand, if y'all receive got a compatible vociferation upwardly in addition to PC, you're willing to live on mindful of blurgate (and the take away to croak along the photographic boob tube camera off every bit much every bit possible), the flare, in addition to the potential for overheating, in addition to you're willing to contend these issues, in addition to hence the master copy Gear 360 holds its ain for video, has higher photograph quality, in addition to is the most affordable 4K 360 camera at good nether $200 (based on street prices instead of MSRP).
In whatever case, if you're considering either of these cameras, I also recommend looking at the Xiaomi Mi Sphere. It is ameliorate for photos because of the exposure controls in addition to 32-second shutter speed. It is ameliorate for videos because of the icon stabilization, in addition to inwards my opinion, the icon lineament every bit well. The entirely downsides are the lack of desktop software in addition to the steep requirement for smartphones (Snapdragon 820 in addition to above). You tin encounter my comparing of the Xiaomi in addition to the 2017 Gear 360 here.
You can't become incorrect amongst whatever of these cameras:
- The 2017 Gear 360 is available from Amazon or B&H Photo.
- The master copy Gear 360 is available from Amazon or B&H Photo.
- The Xiaomi Mi Sphere is available from GearBest (they send to 260+ countries).
Incidentally, Ben genuinely also got the Xiaomi of late (see his unboxing here). I'm looking forrad to what he thinks of the Xiaomi in addition to how it compares to the 2017 Gear 360.
