![]() ![]() 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. Update - 7 April - Screen grab of the text size of in an XYZ tiles layer relative to other fonts.I really love capturing video and stills with my DJI Mavic Pro drone. The links no longer work (it appears the services are no longer available) but I'm also not certain I used the correct URL either.Ĭan someone provide me with a URL to a working high resolution Open Street Map service. I tried the suggested links but the text in the maps were still too small. I've had some suggestions to use high resolution (retina tiles). Adding a Google Maps layer (instructions used: ) and again, the text is too small to be usable.īoth OSM and Google Maps render the text at a readable size in my web browser (Chrome) so the issue is with QGIS 3.0 and not OSM or Google Maps. ![]() Adding my own XYZ Tile layer (instructions used were from here: ) but the result was the same.Ģ. Not sure if the small text size is caused by my high DPI (3200x1900) screen resolution? I also tried:ġ. ![]() It loads fine except the text is too small to see. I installed QGIS 3.0 (standalone 64 bit installer) and added the standard XYX Tile layer 'OpenStreetMap' that was part of the install.
