Any issues using the Gear 360 camera on Note 8 ?

[tonydroid99]

Just got my Note 8 today, now I'm trying to decide to go with the camera or card/charger. I don't have a wireless charger yet but already have the free 264 GB card I got with the Note 7 last year, so the best value seems to be for me to get the camera and buy a wireless charger since it's cheaper.

Anyone used the 360 camera with the Note 8 much yet, working great or any issues ?

I was also curious for those who've used the 360 camera with whichever phone, is the action director software hard to use ?

I thought the camera would be easier to use, but after watching some You Tube videos, seems like it could be a paid for some of use not as good with editing software. I also have pretty old desktop, about a good 8 years old now. I've read stitching or processing the 360 videos is much easier through a actual PC than directly through your cell phone.

I can only half way comment on this as I've only used the camera for photos and not video, but I'm finding it very easy and a lot of fun to use.

Yup, used it all weekend. It works great with the Note8. There is a learning curve to get good pics and videos...but not too bad. It really changes how you take images and vids to a large degree...give a whole new perspective. I am really loving it..adds to the mix in capturing a moment. One tip, get a small handheld tripod, and enable timer on the 360. Otherwise you will end up with your hand in every 360 vid/photo. . Good luck

Any recommendations? I'm looking to get a handheld tripod.
