Were you at Samsung’s unveiling of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in NYC? If you were, you used Samsung’s new Gear 360 camera to help capture the world around you in every angle. The new 360-degree gadget built on a holding stick is available now both in-store and online.

Samsung introduced its next-gen Gear 360 camera capable of shooting video and taking shots in a full 360-degrees back in late March at Unpacked 2017. The device that can fit in your hand has now become available from Samsung and a few retailers. Pricing goes for $229, but if you buy a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 Plus rather soon, you’ll save $50 on it, bringing the price down to $179. This sounds more like a realistic price, but it will take $700 or more out of your wallet in order to get that price.

This new Gear 360 will work with both Galaxy S8 models as well as the Galaxy S7 pair from last year, Galaxy S6 family, and Galaxy Note 5. The major addition on the new model is 4K video capture with live, real-time streaming to services like Facebook Live. You’ll need to download the official app to pair the camera with your phone, which is available from Samsung’s Galaxy Apps store. From there on out, everything works seamlessly. Hit up either of the product links below to get one or learn more in the article we’ve attached.
