Dipping Into VR Journalism, Part 6, Reviews of Cheaper Basic Cameras

LG 360 Cam (less than $200)

CNet says this camera does really well with the capture part including audio, but what comes after ... editing / posting is much more complicated.

Samsung Gear 360 (less than $300)

Ricoh Theta S (less than $350)

Some excellent tips and tricks from an enthusiastic reviewer below including how to watch a 360 video (take a spin in your office chair with your phone in front of you).



None of the Above
