I use the Yi 360 camera which does 5.7k and is going for $200 on Amazon but looks like it has been discontinued.
It supports 4k in-camera stitching, otherwise my computer takes about an hour to stich 4 minutes of 5.7k video at best quality, including optical flow (it refuses to use all of my CPU).

It also has a good smartphone app with live preview and playback support, and even wifi streaming to YouTube, but unfortunately live streaming is no longer a realistic option for most people because YouTube just added a new policy requiring 1000 subscribers. This really fucked me over recently after notifying over a hundred people of an event and buying prepaid cellular data.

Note that unless you have very new GPU with a particular hardware decoder chip, you will have a bad time viewing content above 4k anyway. My beefy computer with an nVidia 980Ti already struggles with 4k because of the projection so I never get to enjoy my 5.7k video at that resolution anyway.

Even downgrading to 4k from higher will improve the quality, particularly near the stitch lines. I always apply moderate sharpening as well.

And you're gonna really want a lot of disk space above 4k. One weekend of shoots I was getting half a whole TB per day.

Also take a look at the Insta360 Pro. If I could justify the cost I'd drop $5k on the 2nd gen that does 8k and 3D at the same time (that's 64MP per frame at 30fps!).

P.S. If you're just doing family videos, on cell phone they look ok in 4k. You might try the Tiny Planet perspective instead for desktop.

P.P.S. I started with the Samsung Gear v1 as well and recently had to edit some footage from it. I spent ages in Adobe After Effects doing a custom warp mask to handle the parallax error as best I could, because Samsung Gear doesn't do optical flow stitching.

I know EXACTLY what you mean about the mount. When I first got the camera I tried doing this with the "Selfie" stick and found I couldn't do more than about 5 minutes at a time before I had to switch hands, and more than 30 minutes total would wear me out.

So I was very happy when I found the SHOOT backpack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GZM129K). It took a while to get everything at the angle and as tight as I needed it, and I still wish they made a version that could take a heavier camera (like a Pro 2), but it has made doing these SO much easier!

I would love to use those. But I am trying to keep the price under $200. Here are links to the two I was thinking of.

Insta 360 one

YI 360

Samsung Gear 360 is around $150/$175 at the moment for the 2016/2017 versions, respectively (former offers better stills, latter — smoother videos).

That’s what I thought. The only thing I’ve seen for it is a $5 lens shield that at least offers some protection from dust and scratches, but it only works with the $55 cover. It’s not an ND filter, but it’s better than nothing I guess. There’s only one review from somebody who bought it without the case so take that a grain of salt.
