Tencent Digital (Compile: Guti) Samsung's efforts in the field of virtual reality are not limited to mobile VR devices such as Gear VR. At the same time, Gear 360 is expected to allow ordinary users to capture interesting VR videos. It can be said Gear 360 is Gear VR's best partner, we can shoot their own virtual reality photos and videos, and for beginners, Gear 360 is a very good entry-level shooting device. In appearance design, we can call Gear 360 a cute "octopus," which differs from Ricoh, LG, and other products in terms of design style. Although it looks like a plastic shell, it seems to be very strong. However, such a ball-shaped design does not seem to be easy to carry, and the device like Theta S cannot be put into the pocket of jeans. This design has the advantage of leaving plenty of room for control buttons and various interfaces. Gear 360 has power and menu buttons, as well as shooting buttons, as well as powerful monochrome OLED display that can display the remaining power, shooting mode, time and basic setup status. If you open the side of the baffle, we will see the microSD card slot, removable 1350mAh capacity battery and microUSB charging interface. Gear 360 is equipped with a mini tripod and a hanging hole, while also being able to replace the conventional standard tripod, while also absorbing the car's windshield. In addition, Samsung also provided storage bags and a cleaning cloth, but it seems to be rarely used in daily life. Although Gear 360 itself is not a professional sports camera, its workmanship is extremely strong. The Gear 360 has IP53 dust and water resistance and has a basic level of splash protection. The Gear 360 offers four basic shooting modes, including basic still images, video capture, delayed shooting from 0.5 to 60 seconds, and loop shooting. The cycle time depends on the size of the internal microSD card, how much space is available, and how long the video can be shot. Gear 360 has left a deep impression on the switch between different modes, and its own setting is also relatively easy. We can select different resolution video modes from 1920×960 to 3840×1920 for different resolutions. We can also choose whether to use a single camera or two cameras at the same time. In addition, the time shooting function, Gear 360 supports 2 seconds, 5 seconds and 10 seconds. One of the most important features of the Gear 360 is the ability to select the frame rate of the video and get different effects based on their needs. In all shooting modes, white balance and exposure can be set to automatic mode, while Gear 360 compatible smartphones are basically Samsung models. Including Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge and the latest Galaxy Note 7. So if you're an iPhone user, you're sorry. Once the smartphone and Gear 360 are paired successfully, the Gear 360 Manager app will run automatically. The interface of this app is not much different from the ordinary camera application. We can see the panoramic mode and the 360-degree viewing mode, and can use the finger to operate the screen to scroll, split and switch between different cameras. Manually set parameters include ISO, white balance, resolution switching, HDR switches, etc. from 400 to 1600. If you are in delay mode, you can also adjust the time interval. At the same time, Gear 360 supports remembering the previous setting result, so even if it is turned off or suddenly loses power, the setting parameters will still be retained after turning on again. In addition, Gear 360 also supports breakpoint shooting, we can focus on shooting important content according to demand, without wasting too much space. Shooting with the Gear 360 has a totally different experience than the ordinary camera we use. After all, both the height adjustment and the adjustment of the tripod mean that both the shooting angle and the target height must be taken into consideration. Once we have taken some photos or videos, we also need to process the video in the app, and the processing time depends on the resolution and time. In addition, we can also choose a 360-degree preview perspective when we move the smartphone to switch between panoramic or multi-screen mode. Videos processed by Gear 360 will not be saved directly to the collection. After each shot, you need to manually confirm the save. This will not waste too much memory card space, and it must be cleaned up. In addition, Samsung also provided a free Windows application Gear 360 ActionDirector, developed by Cyberlink, allowing us to edit video on desktop PCs. However, there is no Mac version yet. If you have a Gear VR, you can experience the video you just shot directly on your Samsung smartphone and share it with your friends. Samsung originally named the sharing platform Milk VR and later renamed Samsung VR, providing many professional virtual reality content and apps, including user-uploaded works. And if you choose to share on Facebook, you can also process photos and videos based on the timeline. If your friends are watching directly on a mobile device, you can switch perspectives by moving your body. If you are watching with a desktop device, you can use the mouse to drag and drop. However, after sharing with Facebook, we noticed a noticeable drop in the quality of the video. If you share the YouTube platform, you can edit and manage it directly from Gear 360 Manager or Gear 360 ActionDirector. In the Chrome browser, we can also drag and drop to view different angles, but it is limited to views and does not include interactive content. Finally, Google Street View is shared. Gear 360 can directly upload VR photos from different angles. Obviously, on the sharing platform, Samsung is more careful, but on the iPhone's Street View App, sometimes it is impossible to save videos. Gear 360's video stitching effect is quite satisfactory and is not comparable to Ricoh Theta S, a more expensive device. Where the wide-angle lens is spliced, visible lines can be seen, and some scenes will appear blurry. To be honest, only two lenses make the Gear 360 less professional than some devices with six or more lenses. However, the price of the latter is also more expensive, and Gear 360 is positioning entry-level products, more suitable for ordinary consumers. Like those devices that cost tens of thousands of dollars, it is by no means a product that our average consumer uses. In general, the Gear 360 is a virtual reality camera that is suitable for ordinary users. In particular, the entire industry is still in its infancy. Therefore, Gear 360 is suitable for those who are interested in virtual reality and simply start playing. In fact, for the virtual reality device, the perspective of creativity and shooting is more important, so even if it is a novice, you don't have to worry about it. If you are creative enough, you can use Gear 360 to shoot interesting videos. Gear 360 is easy to use and cheap, but currently only some of Samsung's flagship smartphones still have more restrictions for users. advantage Can be used independently, with low difficulty; The highest resolution consumer VR camera; Excellent workmanship; insufficient Not portable; Screen stitching is obvious; Only supports Samsung smartphones; Source: slashgear .wxdigi { padding:20px 0; border-top: 1px dotted DBDBDB; } Overmolding the Connectors offers significant opportunities for cable improvements with higher pull strength and waterproof issue for those parts, which without these characteristic by conventional types.Such as jst jwpf connector.
