as one of the few active owners of GEAR360 I will share my observations and of course I will answer questions (if they arise)
1. Purchase
I took the camera on pre-order and received it by July 1, and immediately began to torment me, the benefit was on the sea and there were many reasons for taking a picture ...
With the camera, Samsung made a number of gifts, for which I am grateful to him:
- VR helmet - while I am useless, because I have no Samsung flagship
- 64 gigabyte memory card - useful thing
- box for storage and carrying, convenient on the road, because The box is shaped like a camera and hard, in a word, a great gift
2. Use
As everyone knows, Samsung says that the camera can work fully only with flagships (or through a hacked manager with other flagship phones), I unfortunately did not work, and therefore had to learn PTGUi (I did not like the rest) ...
But in fact, without a SAMSUNG smart there are 3 Usage Scenarios:
- we go with the camera and click everything around, we get 2 frames (as shown above) we cut them in Photoshop (well, I’m used to it, and I wrote the macro in 30 seconds) and then process PTGUi (there you can create a template)
- we go for a walk with any smart phone and camera + loaded by Google Street View, here we use smart as a console and auto-stitching panorama, photos are saved directly on the smart, and then how you want you can upload to the card, you can watch at home
- the third option is not obvious and no one has written about it (well, I haven’t met either on Russian or on enemy forums), you can walk, click the camera and at the same time get IMMEDIATELY stitched panoramas in the camera memory ...
3. Camera advantages
- Of course, the convenience of shooting for those who are professionally engaged in real estate, travel, tourism ... may be useful in compiling directories of interesting places to visit by guests of the city, and just to show friends and relatives something that they cannot see because remoteness
- ease of use
- relatively high quality shooting for "soap dishes"
4. Cons
- the inability to set and fix the ISO from the camera menu, in connection with which shooting in the evening or in cloudy weather, is virtually impossible due to poor quality
- to that CLOWN, who placed the shutter button on the top, must put his mouth on the heel ... in any version of hand-shooting (without using a timer), fingers fall into the frame ... and, well, we need long and very thin fingers
-
The camera is not an action !!! Any, not even a big drop can lead to scratches on protective lenses, and this will inevitably worsen the final image ...
- Ok, they tied the camera to the Samsung ecosystem, but did not release a protective box to it from the start of sales, etc. this is the height of stupidity ...
- The quality of the cameras is not stable ... different people have lines at the cross-links, a sharp color imbalance on the matrixes, etc., it is also worth noting that overheating during a long video shoot ...
In short, the impressions of use ... now I have a new hobby, I put all less interesting places on the map of my city, let it be ... If anyone is interested in shooting examples (in 90% this is autosurfing) you can dial on Google map "Murmansk Icebreaker" Lenin "" and look at least my entire album ...
If you have questions, ask ...
Shl ... While I'm playing ONLY with photos, the video does not seduce me, and not interesting, maybe later ...
