The Samsung Gear 360 (reviewed here) is the most affordable 4k-capable 360 camera but it has some quirks. One issue is that there is sometimes a color difference between the lenses, which makes the stitch lime more visible.
Plug the Xbox 360 controller into any USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer. Windows 10 will automatically install drivers for your controller, so you won't have to download or install software other than Windows 10 updates. Once you see the pop-up notification that the drivers have been installed, you can use your controller.
Gear 360 shooter Joshua Teo Ch tried to remedy this issue by using a different stitching program. Instead of using the included Action Director software, he used PTGui.
As you can see from the comparison above, PTGui does have a smoother blending between the two lenses, compared to Action Director. Note: Joshua also applied HDR toning. He suggested that if you want to do HDR toning, it should be done at the same time as the stitching for a smoother stitch.
Here are the steps Joshua used to stitch a photo with PTGui:
