This is my 2017 eclipse video with the Samsung Gear 360 (2017).
I did not have much faith in this camera, because it overheats very easy, when recording in 4K. What could go wrong? I picked the right time to start the video, and it did a great job.
From all the videos, and pictures i took, in my personal opinion, this camera was able to capture most of the experience. It is not so much the image quality, but the overall impression it was able to record (with the sound playing a big role).
I didn't cut the video. There is some noise in the image, and movement from the Samsung stitcher software. This could be corrected in the future.

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

I drove 1,600 miles to record this footage. The next total eclipse in my area will be on April 8th, 2024. Subscribe to my channel, i am going to record that one too, if i survive, and the weather allows it.
