6/24/2023 0 Comments Samsung gear 360 actiondirector 2The real charm of the Gear 360 is that it lets you shoot 360-degree video at an almost-but-not-quite-4K resolution of 3,840 x 1,920 pixels. It’s not all about static images, of course. That’s a tad stingy for such a pricey product. It won’t record anything without a card in place, either, because there’s no internal storage. For £350, you’d really hope they’d throw in a microSD card – especially given Samsung make them – but prepare for disappointment. Opposite the side buttons is a panel that springs open to reveal the battery slot, a micro-USB charging port and a microSD slot. It also has a tiny LED display on top that provides basic information such as battery life and how long you’ve been recording for. There are three buttons – “power/back”, “Bluetooth connect/menu” and a big old Record button on top. The camera section – which screws neatly on top of the tripod, and comes ready assembled – has two fisheye lenses on opposite sides. Only this fits in the palm of your hand, and isn’t intent on killing you – unless you go to dangerous lengths to get that perfect 360-degree panoramic shot. It’s somewhere between that and a Portal turret. Do you remember that episode of Red Dwarf where Kryton loses his eye, and it comes back on little legs? The resemblance is uncanny. The Samsung Gear 360 is a spherical camera, somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball.
