Very nice!!

 

[KentA]

WOW! You're getting some pretty clear pictures in that cold air.
How long did it take to fly the pattern?

 

[Busdriver]

Ok, so I've got to ask. How do you keep the batteries warm enough prior to and during flight to keep the bat temp warning from driving you nuts. Or do you simply fly through the pain?

 

[ForeBird]

Beautiful shot!
And I have to ask what you use to take your 360 images?

 

[HiloHawaiian]

Great shot, it takes you right there. Nice detail too! I had to put on a hoodie ...

 

[cholocarmona]

Very nice video. What kind of vr camera use?

 

[Jagerbomb52]

Same camera we all have on our X-Star's

 

[cholocarmona]

and how have you done it? Have you used photoshop for the final assembly?

For the Autel XSP do not use Raw\DNG photos as they contain no Exif information.
Using the free software ICE mentioned in the tutorial video works OK but not great. I use PanoramaStudio 2 Pro, not free but works as advertised.
When taking your photos use the grid lines option in camera settings. This helps line up your next shot. Remember you need over lap for best results.
When taking your photos think about a clock, start at 12 oclock and work your way around taking 8 over lapping photos at 0°
Then adjust your camera down to 45° (there is a indicator that shows your angle) and take another 8 photos in the same spots you did at 0°.
You then have to take two photos looking straight down but opposite each other.
So now you have 18 photos to import into your panorama program of choice.
When you have your 360 pano saved don't forget to go into the properties of the photo and make the camera changes as instructed in the video tutorial.

Once you are finished following the the tutorial video you can upload your photo to facebook or to Kuula

thank you very much, i really appreciate.

thank you very much, i really appreciate.

No problem. This is why we are here to help each other.
I really was not to impressed with the microsoft program ICE as it would not use the EXIF info which I think helps line up the shots better. PanoramaStudio has a lot more options and even can remove a small object that you might not want in your pano. I'm no expert but I do have plenty of time to fool with this stuff and when I figure something out I usually pass it on.
Like in the tutorial I said first round of photos start off at 0 degrees.(corrected) Just by accident I had the camera at 15 degrees and it worked better in my opinion as there was not as much of a tunnel looking straight up. The clouds seemed to come together better. Experiment and find your sweet spot.
There are lots of youtube videos about how to do this.

 

[Jagerbomb52]

Hopefully this will give you a better idea on how it is done.

 

[Cider Boy]

Nice stuff and good video to explain.

I assume the expanse is frozen water? How far can you venture out?

And the orange item in the ice, is that a navigation buoy?

Thank you on behalf of all.

Keep Warm !

 

[Jagerbomb52]

No that my friend was a ice fisherman. He had a portable sleigh with a popup tent to keep him out of the cold wind. Probably a bottle of rum to go with it

Probably something like this one.

This is my little home away from home. Every chance I had I would be out on my favourite speckled trout lake. As I got older it got harder to brave the cold to catch fish. LOL
The fish market in those big box stores have all kinds and they are cleaned already
Still get out once in a while but not till around the end of March just before ice out happens.
