![]() ![]() Now that you know what you need to buy and why, let’s go over the steps: While there are templates out there for Photoshop to do this, I’ve found that the AutoPano app just works! Yep that’s another purchase here. You’ll need an app that not only stitches them together but also puts in the appropriate metadata so that it can be recognized as a 360° image. While this sounds simple, there’s a little more to it than the standard Photoshop panorama that you’re used to. Once it’s done capturing the necessary photos it just sits there waiting for you to take over and fly.Īfter capturing those 26 (or whatever number for your drone) stills you’ll need to import them to your computer and stitch them together into a seamless panorama. Once you start the process it automatically takes each shot turning the drone and raising/lowering the gimble/camera. On my Mavic Pro it captures 26 stills in 3 rows. It has the one feature that the DJI app doesn’t have and that’s the ability to AUTOMATICALLY capture the stills you’ll need to stitch together a panorama. Clear? What’s the Litchi App for?Īctually the Litchi App is a 3rd party app designed to compete with the DJI app. I’m telling you what you need if you want to create a 360° drone photo, but I’m not providing a warranty on these products. While this App has worked perfectly for me every single time I must give a disclaimer that this is NOT by DJI and if your crash your drone using this app I will not be held responsible. It’s also available on the Google Play Store here. ![]() The first App you’ll need to go buy is the Litchi for DJI Mavic/Phantom/Inspire App. Stepping down from my soapbox, let’s to what you need to know. Here’s what you’ll need…įirst of all this is something that the DJI 4 Go app should do! You shouldn’t have to go buy a 3rd party app for this one feature, but as of the writing of this post it is what it is. Every time I post one someone asks me the same thing and rather than just point them to the apps they need, I’d rather have this post to refer them to so that they get the full process. I thank him for that, but knowing which apps were used was only half the battle. I remember seeing someone post a drone 360° and I about fell out of my chair trying to figure out how they did it? So I asked and he was kind enough to turn me on the necessary apps. ![]() The Mavic Pro already has a 12MP camera that shoots Raw. When it comes to aerial photography I’d rather not strap one of these cameras to my drone. On the ground I shot 360’s with my Ricoh Theta S or Insta360 nano. Facebook has native support for 360° stills and video. Posting stills and video to social media is nice, but the one thing that takes it up a notch is being above to post fully immersive 360° panoramas to Facebook (like the one above that you can click on and experience). I’m also quite pleased with the 4K video. I’m surprised by what I can get in regards of sharpness and rich colors. The neccessary hardware is already on board! It's just the lazyness of the programmers why we don't have such a function yet.I really love capturing video and stills with my DJI Mavic Pro drone. Imagine how conveniant it'd be if DJI would add a mode that would allow you to turn around once while the Osmo takes all those pics automatically. While it basically works, it's a bit tedious. Or open the panoramas with any pano viewer of your choice. Just drag one of the included panorama JPGs onto the Viewer.exe to have it displayed as an interactive photo sphere (use the mouse wheel to zoom in our out). I also tried PTGui for stitching but the results weren't as good as with Autopano. I used Autopano Giga to stitch the images. Maybe it would also work with less pictures, will need to test this. So I shot 12 3x3 sets for each panorama (= 108 photos). Then turned at about 90 degrees and repeated the procedure, turned 90 degrees and so on. I did 3 sets of 3x3 panos for each compass direction: one 3x3 facing the Osmo horizontally, another 3x3 facing towards the ground a bit and another 3x3 facing upwards. ![]() FPV mode must be enabled (otherwise you aren't able to point the lens towards the sky or ground). I did some tests today, using the 3x3 pano function. ![]()
