I'm finding that many of my realtors are paying for my full Matterport tour just to get the floor plans. That's not all bad for me but I would rather offer the floor plan as a seperate add on.

So if you were buying a 360 camera just to use for floorplans, which one would you suggest? I would like the Theta Z but it's Covid times and I'm trying to conserve money and that's overkill for floorplans. I'm hoping the extra floorplans sold will finance the purchase on the Theta Z. A company can go broke trying to keep up with expensive technology.

Asteroom virtual tour created from this Matterport Digital Twin shot with a Matterport Pro1 3D Camera by We Get Around Atlanta. Images were lightly retouched by Asteroom (automatically included in workflow for WGAN Members). | 20 360 photo spheres were used to create this Asteroom tour

@fotoguy

I would encourage you to decide on which platform for creating 2D schematic floor plans before deciding on which 360 camera (because some platforms and deep integrations with specific 360 cameras.

For example, it is super-easy for Asteroom to create 2D schematic floor plans from the Asteroom virtual tour. And, you can shoot a 3,000 SQ FT space in 15 minutes, according to Asteroom. (One 360 per room, plus line-of-sight in the hallways. The MAGIC is recording the height of the camera lens to the floor.

The Asteroom app (iOS, Android) seamlessly integrates with:

1. Ricoh Theta Z1 (I understand impossible to buy at the moment; unless at a premium on eBay (used)
2. Ricoh Theta V
3. Insta360 One X
4. Others including an Asteroom Smartphone Rotator Kit paired with your smartphone

Plus, options 1, 2 and 3 are compatible with Matterport.

If it was me, I would buy the Ricoh Theta V and then upgrade to the Ricoh Theta Z1, once available (and sell the Ricoh Theta V on eBay). This way, your workflow doesn't change: the image quality gets better.

While you may only be interested in the above solution for 2D schematic floor plans (then the Ricoh Theta V is fine); it's likely that once you use Asteroom, you will then have a solution for lower priced real estate listings where the Asteroom Tour and/or Floor plans are offered as Add Ons to your photo shoots.

Help me understand this guys.

2 questions:

1- If I shoot a house for Asteroom using my Theta V or One X, how much do I pay Asteroom for a tour, dollhouse and floorplan? Is it $17.50 plus subscription cost?

2- Dan- how would I use the Matterport Pro camera with Asteroom? Ok, I just figured this out, but others may be interested in the workaround.

Likely the best option for Matterport Service Providers (that are WGAN Forum Members) testing/playing with Asteroom:

Asteroom Pay Per Tour Bundle for WGAN Forum Members-No Monthly Subscription

For WGAN Standard and Premium Members

Asteroom Pay Per Tour Bundle: 1st Free for WGAN Standard & Premium Members

For clarification, the Asteroom Pay Per Tour Bundles includes six months of hosting, 3D Dollhouse and the 360s professionally edited.
