I bought this last week for £39.99 brand new. A reasonable price. I enjoyed your video and have ordered a tripod based on what you said, I did notice my fingers in the recorded video. The action director software that is from the Samsung website has the editing built into it so I'm able to produce the final video in that program. Like you said it takes a long time to stitch the videos. a 5 minute 4k video took about 30 minutes. Uploading to UA-cam is great and once processed which seemed to take longer than stitching I'm able to view perfectly in my phone. Happy days for £40 and the software is free. I did have a problem with getting the software to load as it needs administrative rights.
Excellent review! Thank you! I had the 2016 model for about a month, then exchanged it for the 2017 model. I'm still debating if I want to keep the 2017 because I'm just not happy with the still photo resolution compared to the 2016 model. The stitching is way better, but the resolution is much worse on the 2017. The bottom line is, it's a great camera for the price, and it's good when used outside on a sunny day. Hopefully the Rico 4K will be released soon.
Andy, thank you for this review. It was very informative. One constructive comment I would make is be aware of your recording environment. At least iron your sheets... Again I do appreciate your technical insight just think about the video production aspect and what we see behind you.
Hi George, I do. That's a duvet... there's no way I'm ironing it, sorry! I don't think it would help anyway, those aren't creases particularly, it could just be pulled flat... but why?
Will you be able to see the legs of this Manfrotto MTPIXIEVO-BK PIXI EVO 2 Section Mini Tripod on the Gear 360 2017? It's a bit wider than the first one!
TENGO UN SERIO PROBLEMA, CUANDO QUIERO GRABAR DE CONTINUO A MAXIMA CAPACIDAD DE VIDEO,( SE SUPONE QUE SE PUEDE GRABAR HASTA 1:30 MINUTOS, LA GEAR SE CALIENTA Y SE APAGA A LOS 12 MINUTOS DESPUES DE ESO SE EMPIEZA A APAGAR CADA MINUTO DESPUES CADA 30 SEGUNDOS Y ME ES IMPOSIBLE GRABAR DE CONTINUO Y APARECE EN LA PANTALLA UN AVISO QUE DICE QUE LA GEAR ESTA SOBRECALENTADA Y QUE POR ESO SE APAGA... FUI Y CAMBIÉ LA CAMARA POR OTRA EN LA TIENDA Y EN ESTA ME PASA LO MISMO, ALGUNA IDEA DE QUÉ PASA?
Natasha Johnson You can let it charge as you‘re shooting, however, apart from streaming live, I don‘t know if you can get life footage to your phone if you‘re not within WiFi range
Hi Andy how is it at live broadcasting on the go via phone? (can't get mine to work, as Facebook keeps crashing when I try, although works perfect from a pc).
The bike mount? (As the stand already has a link) The one I bought isn't available, but I've linked in the video description one that looks to be identical.

If you have a SIM card tool you pull that little loop through. I would use that loop too be on the safe side.

I have a 360 camera like you have. and I can't edit videos as well as your videos, I want to learn edit videos 360 from you
Great informative video. Ordered two from Samsung.
Does it film with just one of the cameras?
good review mate
I bought a band new gear 360 at best but and it overheated in just 30 minutes you were all warned

Could this be used as a baby monitor? Can you charge it at the same time you are using it?
Natasha Johnson You can let it charge as you‘re shooting, however, apart from streaming live, I don‘t know if you can get life footage to your phone if you‘re not within WiFi range
mine WILL NOT go live...
Hi Andy how is it at live broadcasting on the go via phone? (can't get mine to work, as Facebook keeps crashing when I try, although works perfect from a pc).
Sorry, I've not actually tried that.
Going for the Note 8 this year Andy? Picking up a Galaxy S8 next week.
Not sure yet, might stick with the new Pixel.
your internet speed so fast i jealous you
What software for open vidio samsung gear 360 at PC?
Sorry, I don't know 😕
Andy what SD card brand are you using. 64 GB or 128 which is worth getting
I use SanDisk or Samsung usually. 64GB is usually enough, but it depends how much you want to film I guess.
AndroidAndyUK Thanks. Another question is there any difference between Samsung Evo Select, Pro and Plus differ models.
I'm sorry, I don't know.
where did you purchase the stand?
