How to Photograph a 360° Pano for Virtual Tours

Whoo Hoo! For doing night sky photography I already have a 6D and Rokinon 12mm fisheye! All I need is a pano adapter for my tripod. Looking forward to trying this out. Thank you.

your site is down :(

Great tutorial thanks. Just enough information, presented clearly and without too much extra 'chat'. A real pleasure to watch and learn from.

2 1/2 years later and your video is still helping people. This is one of the easiest to follow videos I've watched so far. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Patrick. I currently using Giroptic Camera for 360 virtual tour. It’s easy friendly used, free stitching, app platform for google street view.

Your battery's almost flat!

How can a panorama be made of a wide circling perimeter around a building, looking inward?

when your rotating it how much of the rotation?

an excellent video, can you tell me where i can buy a camera bracket like this?

Patrick, THANK YOU!!! :-)

The first thing I noticed was how big his eyes get. Like immediately saw it. Almost died laughing when he talked about how many people said something about it

or get a ricoh...

your eyes are normal but your eyelets aren't normal though consult with a doctor about this

I never really even considered getting in to virtual-tour photography until watching this video. Even though I’ve always enjoy viewing VT images I just assumed it would be a pain to master. However, your thorough explanation, including those awesome pro tips like marker-placements, combined with your enthusiasm for what you do has really piqued my interest. Thanks for the tutorial - keep doing great things 👍🏾

thanks bro that was so usefull but you didnt sho us 360 cameras, like: insta 360 pro. can you plz tell us some thing about this camera???

Hi Patrick. Thanks for this wonderful video. DO you have any other videos that I could watch? I think I need to see your previous videos to learn more.

Great vid mate. Thanks. I'm going g to have a go. :)

I want to buy this nodal head for real estate. Does the cheapest one work ok for that ? Thanks for sharing

Very informative but you don't mention where is best to set your focus?

Way too much superfluous information.

dear, can we use shutter speed at auto while doing bracketing shoot for the virtual tour while keeping aperture , ISO and white balance on manual modes , what`s the drawback ? pls advice

Hi Patrick,
Its been some time for this video. I hope he bump into my comments. You video Is fantastic, I like the way you thought on this subject. I have not yet succeeded in making one of this type but surely will get there with your help.
I am facing some difficulty while shooting. End product turns out to be barrel distortion image, very disappointing, Cant figure out why this happens? where do I have to place the camera mounted on a tripod in the room, giving that a room which is about 12 sqmts in dimensions. Well I have tried on my Canon 10-18 mm lens and just today on my canon 24-105 mm lens keeping it on 24mm. still faced the same issue.

I use the nodal ninja 3mk3 and even after arriving at the nodal point still suffer from barrel distortion. Please help out. I use ON1 software for stitching. Also got the Klor Autopano Giga 4.4 ver (Trial) just to see how it turns out there. Still the same barrel distorted effect. Let me know what you use for post production too? And in which soft ware do you view your tour.
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Michael

You are funny, man! And honest. You seem a cool person. Your eyes go to normal size when you relax. Nice tutorial! Thanks

😍 Thanks for the very informative video. I am missing so much the stitching process as last part of it. 😪

Patrick! Excellent take on 360 imaging! However, keep in mind one of the most important things; the nodal point. I'm subscribing to your channel, man. Thanks for sharing!

i like your teaching smile action

Thanks...! is Cool..!

Thanks for the tutorial. but i'm confused of many types of pano head, some of them with or without rotator , and the one you are using i think it's without a rotator ? can u help? thanks in advance

where can get free panoramic or images for stitch exercise pls?

What about focus?

I have 15mm Laowa zero distortion lens. I am curious if its actually better or worse for makich 360 panoramas. Any ideas?

You're too nice.
The only comments anyone should leave here are good and positive.
Super good video. No bs, just good info. Excellent job. Your eyes are fine.

I've got 16mm. Is this ok?

Great video! But one tip: don't always look into the camera, look away sometimes

We love you here :))

Awesome tutorial, thanks very much!

mannnn what a wondeful guy !!! thank you to much for the tips but what about the tutoria on the computer

Crystal meth is one hell of a drug

Thank you for the video. I had purchased the theta z1 but returned it after looking at results. Already tried your method but I am having issues with the ground. Using the rokinon 12 on FF. I guess you use PS (layers) to erase tripod with your 2 exposures, but aligning them is a different story, specially with the field of view. Is there another way?

Hi from the year 2020, this was exactly what I was looking for. Very clear and informative. I wish the affiliate link still worked, I'm in the market for a pano head.

I liked when he talked about his eyes..

Hey you, hi there. You resemble Christian Bale.

What head are you using for panorama shot?

Hi, Patrick nice video .... how to remowe tripod from my 360 panorama + trick with matching photos ,

now that you mention it... that eye is fucking creepy

Is not easier to use a 360 camera?

I don't get why you had to explain everything twice

Nice
