Hey guys. I need to shoot 360 video from the point of view of a biker for a project for a client. The produced video will be viewed on the Samsung Gear VR. I bought the Samsung Gear 360 and shot the video using it. On the phone, the quality looks great, however the footage looks very lackluster when viewed on the Gear VR. The Gear 360 also has focus issues and one side is sharper. 

 

Now, I need to purchase a new camera for the shoot. Right now I'm considering the Dual Kodak SP360 setup, however if there is a better option available please let me know. I know the Six GoPro setup will give me the best quality but I don't think I'll be able to mount that rig on an helmet or on a bike.

Quality of image will drop when viewing on headsets compared to phone, no matter what. Its just where the quality/resolution is right now in the prosumer market. I use the Dual Kodak, much better than other sub 1K systems out there, IMO. Mounting on helmet no problem.
The more expensive professional 360 systems out there have a better quality image, but at a cost of up to 30K.
