New Gear 360 (2017)- Initial Impressions

[pwscott]

My initial impressions on the Gear 360 are really positive. Picked one up here in US at Best Buy....they had it at $349 I think...asked them too price match Verizon Wireless ad at $229 and they did. Charged it in car on the way home with the included USB-C cable.
First few pics triggered with Gear 360 Manager app on my S7 Edge were really good and there are lots of vide, HDR, timelapse....both cameras, front or rear pano only...different stiching methods. Really cool...Even LiveStreaming.

Retail Price for the 2017 Gear is $229. The 2016 gear is $349.

Also if you would have purchased two additional accessories you could have got all 3 for 25% off at Best Buy FYI.

I did this last week and ended up paying $188 total for the gear, selfie stick and a portable battery charger.
