LG G5 Friends 360 CAM LG-R105 (International Version, No Warranty)

FIRST IMPRESSION-I had to have this camera; I got it when it was 119, that was a pretty good deal; I would have not paid more than that. I'm a techie, and into novelty so I had to have it. So far I think, It's a great camera, and really great quality, (although not the greatest), it does the job at capturing moments in 360. 360 has a while to go, but this is a great starting point. When I re-watch the footage it almost feels like I'm there again, which I like. LG MANAGER APP- So I downloaded the LG 360 cam manager, and the app is okay. It doesn't take too long to get connected with the camera just hit the blue-tooth on the phone, and it connects. I noticed a few reviews talking about how there is no user manual, honestly the camera is self-explanatory. But if you need instructions download the app and it gives you instructions on how to use. CAM QUALITY-It is not great in low-light situations, which I expected so its fine. But in plenty of light it looks great. You can see where the area is stitched, but that doesn't bother me. The sound on the camera is really great, which is a major plus. If people are too far away the image becomes a tad blurred on video, but that is to be expected. STITCHING- My gallery videos would not download to my phone so they weren't stitched together. So I downloaded the videos to my computer, and I got two big blobs from where the videos are taken from either side of the camera. To stitch them on a PC or MAC without downloading them through your phone first, get the usb cord that comes with the camera and copy the files to your computer. Then, head to LG's website, and download the 360 camera viewer. Then, drag and drop copied videos into the cam viewer. It takes a while to stitch but once it hits 100 percent it will start playing. Go into your files and the file you dropped in the cam viewer will read as RESULT followed by the numbers of whatever your video file was. FINAL THOUGHTS- The camera is a winner to me, although not perfect I think it's amazing start. I look forward to capturing my moments in 360, and seeing the world through my own eyes. I recommend this product to anyone starting 360 videos, or a techie who is into novelty. Or anyone who just wants to have some fun viewing the world in 360.

I've used this for years, ever since it was released about 4 years ago when I also purchased my LG G5. Even though I no longer use my G5, I still found that the LG 360 camera served many needs ranging from recording special moments such as my children's first birthdays to creating VR videos for research purposes. LG recently posted an update in Google Play that it will disable mobile device access on June 20th. However, when I opened the camera earlier tonight, device access to LG 360 camera view finder was already disabled. In other words, LG, in its typical fashion, couldn't even properly sunset a device at its end of life. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, as LG basically bungled every single one of its Android firmware upgrade on every single one of its devices. As far as software support is concerned, LG is shamefully inadequate. Considering that when the LG 360 camera first came out, it retailed for $250, getting only 4 years of use from this camera is completely unacceptable. To put this in perspective, my Canon Powershot A580, which cost $150 when I bought it over a decade ago, is still perfectly usable even if its image quality is laughable compared to a midrange phone today. Stay away from LG products.

This is a neat beginners 360 degree camera. It is really easy to use. The only thing it lacks is picture quality and there is a problem with the area known as the "Stitching" in the camera shot. The Quality: even though it has the dual 13 mega pixal cameras, the still 360 photos seem grainy. Maybe its just me but i feel since the 360 captures so much that higher mega pixals is need to capture the detail. I would rank the picture quality a 7 out of 10. Stitching: the Camera has 2 wide angled lenses (front and back). When you take a photo you can tell (in the photo) where the front image meets the rear image. It will be a distorted line in the image on to sides. That area (where the front image meets the back) is known as the stitching. I POSTED A PHOTO OF THE "STITCHING" LINE. It is the blurry part in the photo. I also posted what the image quality is when im turned away from the stitching. Other then that, this camera is fun to use. It is compatible with FACEBOOK now, so you can now upload the 360 degree videos/photos right to facebook. When this camera was first released Facebook didnt recognize these 360 photos, but recently Facebook did a update and now the LG 360 Camera is compatible. What this camera might lack in image quality makes up on it with fun. I am so glad i bought this camera.

Muy buena y por el precio no encuentras nada mejor si acaso la definición en poca luz baja por cierto es obligatorio agregarle tarjeta micro SD ya que la memoria que trae no es mucha solo 4gb en cuanto a la compatibilidad con mi LG g5 no hay problema salvo cuando pones la cámara en stand by y luego deseas reconectar ahí hay que reiniciar la aplicación

Don't go with this camera., Overall poor performance, battery backup is too poor., not a reliable product

ディズニーに行く際に買いました。 とても良かったです！ 360°で思い出が保存できてとっても良い🙆 ・機能性 スマホと連動できて撮影しやすい。 ・画質 画質も充分に綺麗。 暗い場所だと粗くなる。 ・音 音も広範囲で拾ってくれる。 風の音は比較的入らない。 ・電源周り ※充電の際、USBがType-Cなので注意を！ バッテリー持ちは1時間半くらい。 大容量のモバイルバッテリーがあると便利🙆

This camera is pretty amazing for its size. The only downside that I can see is the lack of a concise set of instructions. When I worked out how it all works, then life became fairly simple and straight forward and now I can connect to wi fi and Blu Tooth with no dramas on my Iphone SE and Ipad. Highly recommended.

poor quality images and always having to reconnect to the phone
