Capture 3D Tours with Realsee & 360 Cameras-Customize Your Style w/ Filters Luona_REALSEE 3 8 daysHome3D (3597): @Luona_REALSEE Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate with all the different cameras. In using the Theta Z1 and X, did you emgage their great HDR functions? With the Insta 1-inch did you use its powerful bracketing? The images look like HDR was off for all of them, which is disappointing. So the next question is, Can we shoot these cameras for Reslsee processing with all their HDR modes engaged? The image quality should be so much...

Transcript-Ben Claremont's Top 10 Tips for Shooting and Editing 360 Videos DanSmigrod 4 7 monthsGETMYVR (1781): I truly appreciate the passion for video and I am so looking forward to being much better at it. Sadly in the US the MLS doesn't really support Video. Redfin is among the only channels that produces a link or visual cue that consumers can actually find. I just think the best potential for video is probably the best place where it's position to be at and that's inside of social media. And although most of the media I produce is...

Lighting Recommendations for Matterport Pro2/Pro3 and Ricoh THETA Z1? manog 3 1 yearron0987 (2713): @manog for the Ricoh Theta Z1 I like the Bushman Halo 360 light. It comes with dual threaded offset to allow access to camera charging port. The light itself also has the built in battery with the capability to charge your Z1 extending the time you can shot since the Z1 has a short battery life. The only down side is your adding weight to the top of the stand near the camera making it top heavy. The light output is adjustable.

Does anyone use their iGUIDE Planix for Matterport Scans? Buster6070 2 2 yearsGETMYVR (1781): The Pro2 3D's battery lasts 8 hours and about 700 scans, which is glorious, compared to my Theta Z1 which drops like a lead weight, unfortunately. But the easy fix is to attach a 20,000 mAh battery pack to the monopod you're mounting the Theta on. Pairs well to the Capture app. Quality is lower, however the difference is indiscernible to the general public which still perceives this as new tech. I just helped sell the highest price home in...
Video: Which is the Best 360 Camera for VR Tours in 2022? DanSmigrod 2 2 yearsHome3D (3597): I’m using the Theta X exclusively now except for “aerial” one-shot 360s on the extended selfie stick. X lacks the “Handheld HDR” capability of the Theta Z1 which is a brilliant feature. Though I have also done these using a Manfrotto tripod, with the 2nd gen Insta360 extended selfie stick to get the Theta X way high safely. Theta X resolution increase is a bigger plus over the Z1’s higher quality (but lower res) sensor.

Wish Lists for Matterport Tours Created with a 360 Camera DanSmigrod 3 2 yearsMeidansha (541): A wish of my own: It would be great if we could add mattertags to 360 photos (as in the photos without scans). Number two, the 3D model AI is amazing, but the photo stitching algorythms are primitive for the Pro 2. the stitching lines show a lot in houses I scan here in Japan as they are smaller and there is less space between the camera and the stair case wall etc, so all kinds of features get "cut up". Before investing more in...

Theta Z1 is better for outdoor scanning than Pro2! Is it true? No! Wingman 7 2 yearsWingman (4158): I would be more than happy with android beta features coming to IOS, especially its manual alignment.

Video: Matterport Pro2 Camera is better than Ricoh Theta Z1 for this reason DanSmigrod 2 2 yearsGETMYVR (1781): No doubt, I scanned for 8 hours today with the Pro2, 600 scans, and the new iPad Pro also lasted 600 scans with no help with a power bank, I finished the day with a little juice left in each. The Theta would have been a burden in this circumstance, the battery is terrible.
Ricoh Theta Z1 vs Theta X for virtual tour business? linas2569 7 2 yearsWingman (4158): 5.7K video is not that great. We are talking about 360 videos with 2 to 1 proportion that has a field of view of 360 x 180 degree so you need to compare it with a normal video and it is half of its resolution. Probably even more than half as it is just one side with 180 FOV both vertically and horizontally. So I would say 5.7K in 360 is equivalent of 1440P for a flat video with something like 25-50mm focal length.

Faster processing with an updated iPad? sdubose99 2 3 yearsWingman (4158): I cannot say for a Z1 but with a Pro2 the difference is in alignment speed only. An Ipad 5 Gen does it about 15 seconds longer comparing to a Pro 2020. Also with an Ipad 5 a few trimming lines added during scanning can slow alignment a lot like 2-4 times longer. Nothing like this happens when I use an Ipad Pro 2020.

What would you charge for Matterport - 25kSF commercial space? sdubose99 10 3 yearscgraft (117): Also realize that although the Ricoh cameras capture scans faster than a Pro 2 does, you have to run and hide somewhere out of the shot every time with the Ricoh. You'll be getting quite the workout scanning a large open space with that device, VS just stepping behind the Pro 2 while it spins. So wear your apple watch for the workout points! and charge accordingly. Nice work finding a big job.

Asteroom - Insta360 One X vs Ricoh Theta Z1 BLBeta 8 3 yearsBLBeta (11): Hey Chuck, Thank you very much for the examples. It does highlight a huge difference in your example. His OneX photos are quite bad quality even without comparing them. Ours are only even close to like that when there is really low light. That home seems to have plenty of light.

How best to document the positions of 360 captures within a space? dave3d 10 3 yearsdave3d (506): What Dan said is what we do.....

It would be nice to KNOW everything is accurate so someone not scanning can process and be certain they locations are accurate.

BLK360 with Theta Z1? Kumar 8 3 yearsHomePlanNZ (251): (Again in our experience), using the Z1 on a project will always degrade the 3D data compared to Pro2 and BLK. The Cortex process 'makes up' a 3D model based on imagery, which will always be inferior to laser (BLK) or infrared (Pro2) sensor data. If you then combine Z1+BLK, you are mixing bad with good = bad result. Issues were alignment both ways (Z1 scan, switch the BLK; BLK scan, switch to Z1). When changing devices we typically do about...
Can a Matterport Tour skip a floor or two and still create a dollhouse?

You have to find a way to navigate your visit though.

I have gotten busy enough where I now send a family member a second direction on certain shoots. My policy it to carry an heir & a spare for all equipment on a shoot. So, each shooter carries two DSLR’s, a Z1 & a V or sc2 for Zillow’s 3D home tours (v or sc2 are just in case) and a Pro2 w/a Pro1 back up. I never want to show up to a property unable to perform due to some sort of hardware issues
Ricoh Theta Z1 versus Matterport Pro2 3D Camera for Outdoor scans? Paulo 4 4 yearsWingman (4158): I cannot comment on using a Z1 with Matterport. I have just never seen any reason to do it since I have a Pro2. As for using it to capture a 360 I believe the further you are from objects the more chance you have to make a 360 without any stitching errors. It is better to stay at least 50cm away from any object and that distance applies to a Pro2 as well.

How Long for a 2,000 SQ FT (ish) home with Ricoh Theta Z1 on Matterport? jimfelder 4 4 yearsJonJ (1760): If the property is staged and ready to go, I would say 10-15 minutes for every 1000 sqft. Allocate additional time for setup (initial walk-through, adjusting items/blinds and turning on lights) and take down if that is something you are responsible for. The above estimate assumes that there are no distractions and does include time for additional 360 views.

Why my doll house view with theta Z1 is look so bad? marcoastan 6 4 yearsRichardStanton (252): This is because of your outside scanning of 3D data. The capture app and showcase are tuned for indoor environments, so it does not always know what to do with things like tree lines, etc. overlapping. You can use the trim feature to cut away what does not overlap to clean things up a bit. The splotches are just a lack of 3D data, outside small things over a larger distance = no 3d data. What you WILL get is the outside of the house....

USB Data transfer Ricoh Theta Z1 leonherbert 11 4 yearsRobRealEstate (15): Thank you @linitsch @leonherbert. A couple of other things you might be able to help with... 1. Video- When in the Theta app and connected with my android, when the video file finally transfers to phone app from Z1, I can't share it. When I hit the share icon it says, "Not enough free space to write for sharing". 2. Is there any way to connect this to Facebook Live for my "virtual open house" this weekend?
Questions about Asteroom... DanSmigrod 6 4 yearsEricTsai (171): @jthorstad - sure! You will shoot using our App (We have direct integration with Z1,v, and One X) and then simply upload the panos. Our back-office and AI will put together the dollhouse for you. For users that use other 360 cameras- they can upload the panos using our web editor. Here is a youtube video of how a photographer is able to put together an Asteroom tour in 15 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_EicueFEw&t=235s
Poll: Which 360 camera to buy to create Google Street View? fotoguy 19 4 yearsWingman (4158): I do not think V-SLAM has anything to do with a camera hardware. It is a post processing feature and technically should work with any camera. We cannot confirm yet with Labpano if they are going to give an access to Pilot tours to a Pilot Era but I am confident they will. If they do not that is going to be just bad to all Pilot Era owners. However if we are talking about blue lines here I do not think there is any use for V-SLAM as it is done...
EyeSpy360: Matterport Pro2 vs. Ricoh Theta Z1 bryanhscott 18 4 yearsEricTsai (171): @bryanhscott - thanks for the info.

Matterport and Ricoh Theta Z1 GPS? Astroprojector 6 4 yearsWingman (4158): It is possible as HDR seems to be internal feature on a camera sot it is triggered when a signal sent to make a shoot.

Non level panoramas on 360 cameras Peter360 1 4 yearsPeter360 (29): 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...
What (Custom) Monopod I use for shooting 360° tours Home3D 13 4 yearsHome3D (3597): @8643d - Nothing sophisticated here. I use whatever is handy.

Ricoh Tours leonherbert 10 4 yearsWingman (4158): $45/month for unlimited seems to be worth paying.

When you have 5m or even 5cm accuracy it is one thing but when it turns into 50-100m accuracy by bugs(or by bad code) in their app what kind of quality of a tour your can expect with that? The only way to avoid it is to use these two cameras with Street View app but I do not...

Comparing the image quality of a tour done with the Z1 today with the same tour done three years ago with MP Pro1, the resolution of the Z1 seems superior than MP Pro1 (the dollhouse is not as clean though). Which makes me think that for regular spaces like a home, you can replace the Pro1 with the Z1 and travel much lighter.

Stevede 10 4 yearsWingman (4158): If you level a shoot lines will be straight(the same for Matterport cameras) but stitching errors are happening from time to time. Just make sure you are at least 60cm away from any object pictured. The closer the object the most likely you will have some stitching errors. Also if you picture some specific object in a space place your camera with the front lens looking at that object. Since a Z1 is two lens camera stitching will be done on...

Using a four or multi-lens solution improves the lighting contrast but exacerbates the nodal point offset. The main advantage of one-shot cameras is the speed and ease of use.

Zillow 3D Home Tour using the Theta Z1 TomLeinbaugh 4 5 yearsTomLeinbaugh (6): The Zillow app automatically adds many of the navigational arrows between spaces, but I added some myself later.

I have done to Zillow tours for him so far. He likes the product but is very disappointed in how you walk-through/flow of the home. He feels it’s a little cumbersome. We are back to matter port :-)

Does Matterport allow Theta Z1 to shoot in HDR? zacharysmiller 8 5 yearsDanSmigrod (29694): @Jwbuckl Thanks for clarifying. Much appreciated. Dan
First Post - 360 Newbie - Need Advice Theta Z1 and Matterport zacharysmiller 5 5 yearsJwbuckl (337): The 360 cameras do not have the accurate depth sensing that the Matterport cameras do. So a floorplan would only be within 4-10% accuracy which is why they are not offered with the 360s. The Matterport Pro cameras are within 1% accuracy and the Leica BLK360 is within .1%.
Same Space: Ricoh Theta Z1 versus Matterport Pro2 3D Camera (You Decide!) HarlanHambright 7 5 yearsShakoure (528): Zooming via both the MP player and browser definitely reveals that MP Pro produces finer details. But I agree the coloring from the Z1 seems more vivid. Not bad Z1.
Matterport Pro2Tour versus Matterport Tour Created with Ricoh Theta Z1 DanSmigrod 3 5 yearsHarlanHambright (2073): You drive the theta like MP with iPad. That’s not the issue. Technically you can eliminate the blk but it will still be best solution in certain circumstances. A garden path I did in bright sun had to shoot every 4-5 feet to get alignments. Blk more accurate and goes like 30’ or better.
