    360º Photography and Videography

    Mostly I'm probably going to leave it up to Jeremy on this one - that solution might work for stills, but it wouldn't give us the 360º video we're looking for, unfortunately. And that will matter someday when I have time enough to sit down and figure out how to properly process the 360º video...

    I use the iPanorama plugin on Wordpress. I'm not sure it's the most graceful solution, but you can see my weblink to the left of this post. If you go there, you can see a couple of my 360º tours.

    360º Photography and Videography

    Beautiful! I will give that second explanation a try. While I CAN set this kind of thing in Photoshop, it does NOT like 360º images from the drone. It wants to force them to be full 360º photos, as would be taken from a 360º camera, so it keeps pinching the top together into some kind of weird...

    360º Photography and Videography

    Well, we tested it today. You can see some photos and description here: https://www.facebook.com/kippy.spilker/media_set?set=a.10214801662819500&type=3 In the end, what we decided, is that the Mavic really isn't crazy about that heavy of a payload, so we're contemplating buying someone's old...

    I should clarify, I see that I can program a starting position into the JSON settings, if I export the pano as an html. But if I just want to export it as a jpg for use in social media, I'm wondering if there's a way to do it within the application. I can't seem to find anything.

    360º Photography and Videography

    I'm not very good at explaining Jeremy's creations. ha. But we hope to test it today, so if we do that I'll take a pic of what it looks like. It's a fairly long pole, to avoid the drone taking up too much sky. I did get a decent 360º pano (with the drone) yesterday at an old mining town in this...

    Hopefully this weekend we'll also be testing a homemade attachment for the Mavic, that will allow us to shoot 360º images and video with the Insta360 OneX. Hoping for something that will capture beautiful sky (as opposed to the "ceiling" limitations of the Mavic), and also the ability to shoot...

    Thanks to GadgetGuy, I'm one step closer to an ecstatic customer. :) The image is not great. Exposure is off, and I think the drone wasn't in the best spot for what we want to do, but this is the first time I've been able to do anything usable with the 360º shot from the Mavic, taken last fall...

    And I answered my own question by playing with the various software. My dng files saved as jpg still retain the gps data. I didn't realize it was held in the exif. I'm well on my way to making a very happy client! :)

    360º Photography and Videography

    When I've made my panos in the past, I open the dng files but save them as tifs for the best quality. If I were to save my edited dng files as jpgs, would they still retain the GPS location data and be readable by PanoramaStudio? I just did my first 360 pano process using the software - so FAST...

    Thought I'd come share what I consider my most successful 180º pano to date .. sunset up on Tahoe. I have it printed out 15 feet wide here at the office, at 150 dpi, and it is flawless. The Mavic shoots 21 photos for the 180º pano, and thankfully Photoshop DOES usually handle those pretty well...

    360º Photography and Videography

    You are a wealth of knowledge - thank you so much! I shot them using the Mavic's auto-pano deal, so it does all the shooting, adjusting, etc. But I end up with raw files (which I love). So I think I won't even bother with the auto-stitching you mentioned above, because the control freak in me...

    Oh geez. Ignore my question on GO 4 up there. I was getting myself confused. One of our cell phones that we use with our controllers, we also have Litchi installed, and I was confusing myself between dji's app and that. We always use GO 4 (we should just delete Litchi).
