Popular daily vlogger Casey Neistat, who commands over 2 million subscribers on YouTube, was invited to hit the Oscar red carpet by Samsung with their latest Gear 360 camera in hand.

The Samsung Gear 360 camera is the latest 360° camera unveiled at Mobile World Congress that sports a close to 4K resolution video capture (3,840×1,920 pixels) with two f/2.0 fisheye lenses covering a 195-degree angle of view each. The video is all stitched together using a Samsung Galaxy S7 and lets you supposedly create 360° video with ease.
