This video I'm going to give you my thoughts comparing the Samsung 360 2017 and the 4k 360 fly camera. First of all, I think you have to look at the price point, the Samsung's coming at a lower price point. But then you also have to consider what mobile devices you have is the app supported with those devices. In my case, it's not so there's a hidden costs. For me if I wanted to get the Samsung device, I would need to upgrade my mobile devices. So I can use the app which is very important.
You don't absolutely need the app because you can still use the menu on here to know which mode you're in and whether you're recording It is still limited. On the post production side. This is where the 360 fly camera excels. The app is a lot easier to use, especially on the desktop, and it's a lot easier to get the results that you want. You don't need to spend a lot of time converting the files out of the camera, just so you can view them. With the Samsung.
I had to download the gear 360 software on my laptop just so I could view and share the footage from this camera. And that software itself is limited because you can only share to social media you can't share the file so you can work with it in your video editor to work with the files. On this camera in your video editor. You have to convert it using a program like handbrake which is quite time consuming for every single video clip. So you have to look at that as well. On the plus side the 4k resolution with this camera is closer to what stock footage agency supports you got 4096 times 216.
So at 24 frames per second, that's a similar resolution to what the DJI Phantom three and up, cameras can film with 4k and as a stock footage videographer, that's a plus. But you have to look at all the work that you have to do to be able to get those files online. Overall, I think this is a good entry into the 360 market. If you have one of those mobile devices that are already supported by this camera then this is a good price point to start working with 360 overall I prefer the 360 fly 4k as just a lot easier to to use. And you're paying a bit more but you're going to be saving a lot more time and headaches because it's a lot easier to use.
