Video: Cameras and Lenses for Real Estate Photography DanSmigrod 2 16 daysExpertise (625): I really think most of us do this wrong. You should research the lens you want to work with FIRST then pick the body. And we really should focus more on practical qualities over esoteric specs. For a lens I think you need low distortion on the edges, high resistance to lens flare and great auto-focus. That's it.

What other Virtual Tour platforms are compatible with Matterport cameras? HunsletRiviera 7 2 monthsWingman (1656): You can use Matterport to capture a tour and then build a custom tour from Matterport scans using 3DVista or Pano2VR. You either need to use the service that Dan recommends extracting panos from a Matterport tour or submit Matterport tour to Google Maps and then get it from their in Pano2VR and build any custom tour you want. There is a difference though in resolution. With the service recommended by Dan you will get full resolution panoramas...

What is the best camera/system for producing a 360 tour of a college campus HunsletRiviera 1 5 monthsHunsletRiviera (7): Hello WGAN I'm looking for some advice, I am the proud owner and operator of a Matterport Pro 2, and have recently received an enquiry about creating a virtual tour of a college campus here in the UK. The campus is rather large, sparse grounds with many different faculty buildings. I know that Matterport struggles to cope over a certain amount of scans, and I 100% believe that this campus is too large for Matterport to handle in a single...

Video>Comparing Matterport Camera Options: Pro2 Versus, 360 Cameras, BLK360 DanSmigrod 6 8 monthsHomePlanNZ (224): Just a follow up observation - I was actually relieved to see Matterport issuing this a few weeks back. They have been so 'iPhone' recently, coupled with their Support/resourcing issues and the fading of the MSP programme, that those who operate with the higher end equipment and provide 3D services to others have been getting very, very nervous about where Matterport is heading. I recall seeing a note a while back (can't remember where - email...

Matterport and Insta360 Cameras - Same Tour davedion 13 10 monthsJonJ (1745): @Davedion, Yes, the floor plan was created from the Z1 images exclusively. I did not use any additional tools or technology. As for floor plans, I let my client choose the style they prefer. I personally think the 3D version is a more premium product and has a higher perceived value. JonJ
Non level panoramas on 360 cameras Peter360 1 1 yearPeter360 (23): Hi I've experienced the badly "slanted" panoramas twice now. With the theta Z1 I can check against the standard HDR images it creates at the same time, which are level it therefore looks like it is the Matterport cortex algorithm that is causing straight panos to appear crooked. This may be far fetched but is the AI levelling panos based upon what it thinks visually is horizon rather than using camera gyro information? The...

Matterport cameras compared: Ricoh Theta V & Z1, Insta360 ONE X, Pro2, Pro1 Jwbuckl 4 2 yearsChangesin3d (124): The interesting part of this is the Closed System "business opportunity" to an open system with other peoples hardware. Matterport sells a amera and sells a business opportunity with an expensive camera and then allows others to have almost the same presentation at a fraction of the cost. At least to my eyes the Z1 is equal to the Pro Cameras. Put this on a mobile devise and the comparisons get even closer. Most consumers for...

360 cameras with Matterport? CFster 4 2 yearsCGPhoto (16): I used my Insta 360 One X camera for a month and did about 10 home scans with it before getting my Pro 2 Camera. Below is a tour with the Insta 360 camera. It's not as clear as the Matterport cameras. Much more grain in the image and much less detail when you zoom in. I found that I needed to have my scan positions closer together. When passing through doorways, I could only move the camera about 12" - 18" between scans. I also had to...

HELP! Matterport Pro 3D Cameras wont charge?? aerialpixels 4 2 yearsM_Wasserman (22): FYI, storing any equipment with batteries for extended periods of time, you want to charge or deplete them to about 50%.
