Title: Samsung Gear 360. GoPro killer?

I heard GoPro was hurting and unless they have something coming out to compete with this stuff, I think they are done. Cool stuff..

I'm not a big photography fan but am a huge Samsung fan.  That camera alone would cause consideration to upgrade from my current Galaxy.  Mounting that on the motorcycle helmet or handle bar would make for some incredible video.

For full effect, open that second video in YouTube.

Here's another from a COPA member:

You can pan by moving a mobile device around, or with your finger on the screen.

What are you supposed to use to view that?  It looks creepy on the computer screen.

That's kinda cool.  Since our Thai trip, we've been thinking about adding another GoPro facing backwards on my m/c helmet.  This one my work even better.  That way I won't have to keep turning my head to make sure everything gets in the shot.   I just hope the mounting system is a little more user friendly than the GoPro.
