360 Cameras

[JoeSterne]

Do you use a 360 degree camera? Do you like it?

Looking to invest in one and want some feedback. Currently using an iPhone 6s+ and the Street View App (which does work but takes time and the stitching isn't perfect). I love taking photospheres so looking for ways to make mine better.

I still use my Samsung Galaxy 4 🙂

Good 360 cameras are expensive, cheap cameras (Theta) make poor spheres 😞

I'm waiting for Samsung Gear 360 - maybe this camera will be better.

I use a Theta S 360 Camera from Ricoh. It is defintiely an early adopter product, but its pretty fun to play with. 

Here is a picture I took in a tunnel in Munich, Germany last week: https://theta360.com/s/2Vy39Oigap6xIMjctGuXd1rEG

Here is one from a beer garden in Munich: https://theta360.com/s/magye2g8yQH8I3PBocAtrv47c

And here is a 360 Video I took of river surfers in Munich: https://www.facebook.com/corrie.productions

Do you find it worth the cost of admission?

I also have a Ricoh Theta 360S. You can see a picture I took inside the Royal Albert Hall (I went to see "Swan Lake in the round", so amazing).

For me, this is definitely the best experience. You just press the shutter and you're done. However, sometimes seeing your own hand feels a bit weird, I must admit 🙂

@KimberlyAnnG has the Theta Ricoh and she brings that thing everywhere. You can check her G+ profile to see sample results. For a cheaper cost the LG one is not too bad either, although quality wise is not as good as Theta Ricoh.

I wanted very much a camera as well, here in Brazil only sells one, which is the Gear 360, however it is still very expensive

I've had both the Ricoh Theta M15 and Theta S.  Love the S for its portability and ease of use.  Check my YouTube channel for both good and bad videos taken with it. I post the bad ones so you can see what situations it's less successful in.  I have 94 published.

I also have the Kodak Pix It's, it's not a bad camera but their stitching software just didn't work. It's also terribly clunky to carry around.  The mechanism for starting and ending videos is horrible.  And to get a full 360, you have to buy two of them with a selfies stick customized to hold both back to back.  $900 door stop.

I love digital photography and bought those cameras all the way back in 1997.  I know 360 will get better too.

Riccho 360 degree is my first choice. I also love to use google street view app to take spherical photos (360). I am a member of street view trusted photographers forum and I often use desktop pano editor to stich/connect my unedited photos. 

I would love to share some of my 360 pics with you.
