360 real estate photography
Samsung Gear 360° camera
The Samsung Gear 360 is one of a few major standalone 360 cameras hoping to bring the immersive video experience to the masses. This is the ideal camera for real estate listing promotions. The camera itself is very small and very easy to transport. plus, and it’s a big plus for real estate agents, the Samsung Gear 360° camera is extremely easy to use. It takes 4K video, there’s no focusing required and it has built-in audio. Also, it’s gaining in mainstream popularity, as evidenced by the fact that YouTube has set up uploading specifically for 360° videos. I should mention here that this camera not only takes 360° videos but it also takes 360° still photos as well. Plus, the camera can be totally controlled from your Samsung smart phone.
Real estate agent should keep in mind that this camera cannot only be used for promoting your listings, it should be considered as a listing tool as well.
