My First Test of the Samsung Gear 360

I decided to take the Gear 360 out for a run today. Test run, that is. I decided to make today’s vlog with the camera and see what I could do with it. So far I only know how to do a single shot but eventually I hope to be able to be able to put multiple shots together. I have some software for editing the videos so it might be able to allow me to put them together and when they upload to YouTube they still work like 360 videos.

So, this is today’s first attempt and I think it came out pretty good overall.

So far I think that Samsung made this camera thing so smooth and slick because they figured that people would easily drop it and I feel like that is going to happen to me. The little tripod is also very smooth. There is a hand strap that you can attach to the tripod so I think I’ll be using that to keep from dropping this easily drop-able camera ball.

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.
