I’ve been waiting for the Samsung Gear 360 camera to be available for some time. When it was available I wasn’t quite ready to afford it and so I did not buy it. The Imagelogger program dried up and so I wasn’t getting a free one to use to make 360 videos. So, up until the other day I had to keep waiting. But, once I received all my gift cards from working with Best Buy I had enough to place my order. I ordered it last week and it came in today.

In the time between ordering it and receiving it the camera went on sale. When I picked it up today I was able to get the difference in a gift card which helped me pay for a new micro SD card that is really powerful and fast. I cannot wait to make videos with both the camera and SD card.

So in the next few days I will be working on how to make some fun VR images and movies to share with you online. So, by the time the weather is better and I can get back out on the kayak I’ll be ready to make some amazing videos on the water.

Here is my unboxing video of the Gear 360 Camera.

Not A Good Week to be my Equipment

Vs Rip Warriors
Photo-A-Day #4290

I went to go and use my Samsung NX500 today and the part of the camera that flips up, the screen, seemed off. Part of the flip up screen was not working properly and the next thing I know I was this close to holding just the screen in my hands. I guess all the times that I flipped it up and down to record I made it weaker. So, for now it has been “fixed” with some superglue. I am not sure exactly if it will remain fixed but I will be much more careful with each video that I create. I really like the whole Flip up Screen option for it because it has helped me make good videos for my Transformers comic book review show.

I have more toy reviews happening soon. I picked up some of the VS. Rip Warriors because that looked like something fun to play with. I think that Andrew is going to love it and the battle platform should allow the two of us to play easily. I should have something for that soon.
