200 dollars on amazon. About the price of hiring a good photographer for an hour, and an arguably better result. Good thread OP. The video files themselves could make for great presents if it's of a friend's important event.
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.
Thanks for the replies so far.
The Theta S is already quiet high on my wish list now!
Does anyone have experiences with the YI 360 VR https://www.amazon.com/YI-Dual-Lens-Resolution-Electronic-Stabilization/dp/B01CW4C2HU/
or Samsung Gear 360 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D9LVL3G/ (just stumbled upon the huge discount atm)?
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
Check out the Xiaomi 4K camera. I had one and it was awesome. Lost it cuz it was so friggin small. I’d check to make sure it still has app support
