The advantage of this is you get HDR and looks better, but you trade off with fast and maybe cheap. I think 12mm is fine and most of the time you will be using f22 so you don't really need a fast lens.

Software like PTGui gets the coordinates from the exif of the spheres and takes an average. I suggest fashion it out of wood with ball casters underneath to give you good directionality.Īs I had mentioned a while back to LucioV, Nikon compatible GPS receiver is about $50, they are just GPS chips with a wire to plug into the USB port on the Nikon body, so it is not and doesn't need to be fancy. If you are planning to do tours, get a dolley for your tripod, so you don't need to setup every time you move.

You are lugging quite a bit if you do 360 with the SLR, an extra pound doesn't matter. Ones that mounts the dSLR itself instead of clamping on the lens (to me the nodal design makes no sense and inflexible because the wide angle lens are typically light). There are many ways of mounting a dSLR for 360 or 720 they like to call it, I prefer the cheap ones from AliExpress. I am just personally tired of buying closed source "cheap" electronics that relies on the whim of the manufacturers just to get features they promised. Well I thought the 2016 is still in production, so technically it is still Streetview compatible. Thanks in advance for any Someone screwed up with Streetview interoperatability but I am not sure it is Google or Samsung or both. What time factor is it to stitch the pictures after they are taken to make one good 360? How much more would it take with a wide angle 4-6 more? If I use a Nikkor 12-24mm lens and a good ball head bracket with multiple shots would PTGui make up for the lack of a Sigma 8? How many shots are usually taken with a Sigma 8 lens per single finised 360 photo. I thought you needed the precision of a rotator. I could not find a lens ring for my wide angle Nikon lens so went with the starter kit idea. Now I find the time involved may be just as easy to use the DSLR and get top results. I now am seeing a lot of limitations to the point and shoot 360 concepts I THOUGHT I was buying. I wanted to get started and learn Streetview, get Trusted Status and be able to do low-cost work for small business, virtual tours and then offer better shots after I move up to DSLR capture. Lots of grain but not way worse than street view images from Google. Working with the Samsung 360 I can see that the quality of the pictures is going to be fair at best. I think Google is making a big mistake by leaving the Samsung listed on the Streetview publish page because the details section links over to the current specs and as you said and I am finding out it really does not work. Now if think I would add GPS to the Nikon when I make the move. I have a Nikon D7100 and wanted to test the waters before getting a Sigma lens and the rotator.

I can see the logic in what you are saying better and better every day. I have about 10-12 hours of work into getting the 360 (2017) to publish street view shots tied together to form a tour outside, let alone indoor. You are really preaching to the choir on this one.
