Thanks for the review. I have a gear360 2017, using s10pus and galaxy tab s6 with Android 10 one UI 2.0. recently i can no longer access the gear card to transfer the photos directly to the s10pus. Samsung said that disabled this function for Android 10. This is a major disrespect to the consumer user. Do you recommend a third-party app to stitch stitch photos and videos together? I am not familiar with the V360 app, but I would just like to save the photos in the gallery together. Thank you.

Just the huge difference if you've got decent speakers on your device

I take my 360... run it through SoundForge and Waves Mercury plugins. I haven't used the 2017 but I can assure the 2016 ball records actually better than my S9 plus and S8 plus and Apple 12. Depth. Character. I need more definition in the video myself. Too small and when I zoom in digitally it's pixelated. I want to use it like a flat map and record once and have multiple things to use over and over to fill my stock box.

Thanks a lot for the complete review, my G360 2016 rear lens just died today because of overheating... The camera froze while turning on and my gf couldn't manage to get the stucked battery out on her own, by the time she reached me the rear lense was dead (about 1h later). So easy battery access could potentially save your camera from damage, it's not only for long shooting days, just saying :) This review was super helpful, especially the part on the fog pb because I really was wondering if Samsung fixed it. I couldn't find anyone addressing this issue, but now I know thanks to you ! Keep on the good work. Cheers

If your girlfriend gets stuck in such a situation again, tell her to go to the nearest electronics store, or a hardware store if she can't find an electronics store. Even getting a bag of ice from a restaurant, placing the camera on top of the bag for just a few minutes might lower it's temperature enough to save it. It must have been very hot the day she shot the video as, mine hasn't fogged up or over heated thus far.

Did they not lower the resolution in order to make the sensor less crowded (as it's smaller) and get better low light performance..... relatively speaking....

@BenClaremont 7 жыл бұрын

+Robert Leather yeah like I mentioned the camera is obviously smaller, but the low light performance isn't an improvement as you saw.

right now I'm still non the wiser as to which one to buy lol. I just want it to video special family moments like holidays and birthdays, no action video or anything like that. I just want a nice smooth good quality video? what one do you reckon I should opt for???

@BenClaremont 7 жыл бұрын

+Richard Langton I'd say the 2017, because of expanded compatibility and portability 👍

Right now, as I am typing this, amazon has the 2016 for $145 new shipped and sold by them. I had $75 in bestbuy reward points, so I went into the store had them price match the $145 which they did, then used my $75 and now my 2016 model is $75 total after tax. Needless to say, at that price point, it cannot be beat. I have a SJcam4000, Hero 3 White, and 80D Canon. So this is a nice toy at that price.

I'm having three problems with my 2017 unit: 1) It overheats, causing the recording to stop. 2) A long recording is split up into multiple MP4 files under 2GB each, even though the SD card was formatted in camera to exFAT. 3) The Mac desktop software does not install, complaining of incompatible VGA graphics card. My MacBook Pro has Intel HD 4000. Any help with any of these problems?

@BenClaremont 7 жыл бұрын

+Douglas Shieh 1) are you shooting in a climate with a not-too-hot temperature, and using a fast (95mb/s+) micro SD card? 2) almost all video cameras divide really long clips up into shorter ones, which you can reconnect later in your editor. 3) if you have an older computer, which it sounds like you do, the graphics card won't be fast enough to handle 4k footage. Gotta have good hardware if you want to process high res video 👍

@dshieh4vids 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for your response. 1) Yes, I am. Is this condition conducive to overheating? 2) So the file splits are expected for the Gear 360? Seems silly since the exFAT file system does not have the 2GB file size limit. 3) Late 2012 MacBook Pro. Too old/underpowered?

@BenClaremont 7 жыл бұрын

+Douglas Shieh no problem. Yes your MacBook is too old unfortunately- you need a lot of RAM and a fast graphics card to process 4k footage 👍

I recently pulled out my Gear 360 2016 and took some pictures. However the picture are not viewable on my Samsung Note 5 anymore. All pictures are black on the phone. Does anyone have this issue or know of a fix on this issue? Thanks.

Thanks. I reinstalled the app and updated firmware on the camera. Still doesn't fix the problem. I will reset the phone next. I know that there were a couple of OS updates on the phone since the last time that the 360 picture view was working correctly.

Heya. The 2017 footage is very noisy for me, even outside in sunlight. I have the iso set to lowest at 400. I'm stitching via S8. When I view it in the Gear VR headset it's so flippin noisey. I know the pixels are getting stretched in a headset. But my clips seem way noisier than yours(and you've uploaded yours to YT too ha) Any other tips? I have HDR on, but is that doing anything for video shooting. I seem to remember 2016 footage being less noisey. Cheers!

@BenClaremont 7 жыл бұрын

+Matt Oliver I know what you mean! Hmm.. will test this further. But for now I'd say play around with the exposure settings as much as you can to try and reduce it, including white balance, exposure compensation, HDR etc.

the significant difference is the 1080s live streaming from the 2017 .....but the samples I have seen r really bad quality and the wobble he mentioned about the 2017 is quite annoying.... until it's fixed so if the 2016 is way cheaper....on a sale or second hand with warranty left over it looks like the better choice

The 2016 model can be removed from the tripod and mounted to a helmet ( with the Samsung Mount Kit for eg), which is a big bonus for me. Imagine the 2017 model stuck on top of your helmet, you can guess what it would look like !! Another bonus is in the UK, the 2016 costs £89 while the 2017 is £206.
