Whilst the camera comes with its own mini tripod, and standard sized tripod or selfie stick will be usable with the Gear 360. This camera is designed to be used primarily with it’s companion app, however you can still change settings and work the camera manually.
The design is simplistic, with only a few buttons, a small LCD screen and a larger shutter. One thing to note is that it’s extremely easy to get smudges and fingerprints on one of the bulbous lens’s, which is probably why Samsung has included a cleaning cloth. The camera looks great too, very sci-fi esque, particularly when attached to the tripod. While the camera is not large, it feels sturdy and heavy enough to be worth it’s £300 expense. Without even turning it on you can tell that this is a serious piece of hardware.
You’ll need the product code to download the Gear 360 action director (software used to manage and edit your 360 videos on desktop), so don’t lose it! First impressions of the Gear 360 Samsung has provided an impressive array of accessories with the Gear 360 as well as a very sturdy mini tripod you also get a carry bag, cleaning wipes, a charger, battery and a camera strap.Īlso included is a small instruction booklet which has you’re unique product code. Once removed I gain access to the camera which is already attached to its tripod, other accessories are stored underneath. The two plastic sections are held together by strong tape which may tear off some of the cardboard wrapping, so be careful if you want to keep the packaging pristine. The Gear 360 is clearly presented in a sturdy cylindrical plastic case which I’ve decided to keep as it serves as a great storage place for when I’m not using the camera. Once I finally battled through the layers of bubble wrapping I was able to take a look at the main packaging. My package from South Korea was very well wrapped and I was glad for the protection. If you would prefer to see an unboxing video, I’ve uploaded one to my YouTube channel here.
Even though the Samsung Gear 360 hasn’t been released in my country yet (the UK, although you can pre-order), I simply couldn’t wait to get my hands on one so I bought one on eBay from South Korea! It’s only taken 4 days to arrive and I’m now able to take a closer look at what is billed to be the most popular consumer grade 360 camera this year.
