Here are a seven tips and tricks to get the most out of the cute little camera. Samsung includes a small tripod with the Gear 360, making it all too easy to set the camera somewhere to get your desired shot. Taking 360-degree photos and videos while holding the camera makes your arm look like something out of a science fiction film, and half of your hand is typically cut off by the stitching software used to combine both images.

Heck, using a selfie stick to hoist the camera up in the air would be better than holding it with your hand. You can use your Galaxy phone to control camera from afar, or set a timer if you'd rather use the controls on the camera itself. Sure, it's fun to hold your phone up and spin around to see your photo or video from every angle. But the camera's capabilities really shine when viewing your creations in VR. If you own a Gear VR and have previously used it with your Galaxy Phone, the 'View on Gear VR' option will show up at the top of the screen when viewing your Gear 360 camera roll. Tap on it, put on your headset and browse through your 360-degree gallery. If you just bought a Gear VR, close the Gear 360 app and set up your headset before trying to view your photos and videos in VR. It turns out you can connect the Gear 360 to Google Street View, and use it to submit 360-degree photos directly to Google Maps. If you press and hold the Menu/Bluetooth button on the camera for a few seconds, it will give you three options: Gear 360 manager, Remote control and Google Street View. Google has posted instructions for connecting your camera to Street View here. It's a simple process, taking just a few seconds of your time. Once complete, you will use the Street View app to control and upload photos which can then be featured on Google Maps. Tucked away somewhere in the Gear 360 box is a small piece of paper with a product key on it. Actually, take a photo of it right away to ensure you have a copy of it.

The key is for Samsung's Action Direct program for your PC. Using Action Director, you can trim, edit and splice 360-degree content on your computer instead of having to use your phone. Without this key, you can't use the program.There is an Insta360 EVO which offers both 360 imaging and 3D but it's boxy and bulky, and we prefer the enduring appeal of of the Insta360 ONE X, thanks to its shirt-pocket design, excellent stabilization and an app that offers advanced video editing and subject tracking on your smartphone.
