If you havn\u2018t already noticed, Action Cams are erased from the wishlist of almost any sport enthusiast. Now, LG and Samsung are revolutionizing sports photography and film with some low-price 360* cams. Here are the ‘must haves’ for your winter 2016. <\/strong>VR glasses are the big thing of the future? We claim this trend is already pretty real – right here, right now. Even McDonald’s and Coffee-distributor Tchibo now offer virtual reality.<\/p>\n

But what about the right content? Where are the high-res vacation videos of your friends, the three-dimensional coverage of the latest snowboard trip to Switzerland? You already know the answer: There is no content, at least not enough, to use Virtual Reality correctly. <\/p>\n

Tailwind from South Korea<\/h4>\n

Thanks to LG and Samsung, we experienced a real VR boom this year – the first cost-effective 360-degree cameras are available since summer 2016.<\/p>\n

Both manufacturers offer their products for the broad masses, the demand is already gigantic.<\/p>\n

We give you all the details to the newest 360-cams from LG and Samsung:<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

LG 360 CAM<\/h4>\n

With two 16 megapixels lenses the LG 360 cam provides sharp 4K recordings. The manufacturer has so far not lost a word about the aperture, but what we could experience up to now is a great resolution and full colors.<\/p>\n

With three microphones, the LG 360 CAM can also record sound in 5.1 format. The internal memory can be extended by a microSD with up to two terabytes, the battery of the CAM is at 1,200 mAh. With a bit of luck, this is enough for a recording time of two or three hours.<\/p>\n

The 360 CAM can also stream live on YouTube and Co. via WLAN.<\/p>\n

Release Date: already released.<\/p>\n

Pricing: from 150 euros<\/p>\n

Samsung Gear 360<\/h4>\n

The Samsung Gear 360 also provides recording in 4K, two 15 megapixel cameras with f2.0 aperture each are built-in.<\/p>\n

The 360-degree camera is specified to be waterproof, a slot for microSDs and can be attached to a standard GEWINDE on each tripod.<\/p>\n

With a 1,350 mAh the battery of the Gear 360 is even a little larger than the one oft he LG 360 CAM. How this affects the actual recording time is uncertain up to now.<\/p>\n

The biggest drawback so far: The Gear 360 still relies on the obsolete USB 2.0 standard for data transmission. What that means? For 4K videos, the transmission rate of your files may take a long time. Release Date: already released.<\/p>\n

Pricing: from 350 euros <\/p>\n
