Pro 2 Camera purchase15699

leeverdon private msg quote post Address this user
Hello,

I have a bit of dilemma.

I need a 2nd Pro 2 camera, do I buy a new one or a used one? I'm leaning more towards the latter due to the fact that a Pro 3 camera could potentially be released in the next few months.

For me, the most important reason to purchase a Pro 3 would be if the form factor is dramatically reduced. Is anyone in the know about the Pro 3 camera i.e. release date, form factor, features etc?

Thanks.

I work directly with enterprise level managers at matterport and continue to have to purchase more cameras on a regular basis. When I spoke with upper level management they said it will be late in 2022 at the earliest.

I recommend that you contact Mike Vorce. Mike owns @MatterFix and continually has pro 2s that he reworks and sells and includes a warranty. He is very good at what he does.

@leeverdon I would surmise if you can pick up a Pro2 3D between $2, 000-$2,500 that's a great value, and it's currently the gold standard for Matterport Scan technicians. The Pro3 could be back in the $4,000+ range, and that's what I paid for my Pro2 3D.

I'm not sure whether there will be a Pro3 camera from Matterport.

The new Android Capture App Beta allows import of any 360 images in (probably) any resolution.

It seems Dan has missed on this announcement from Matterport. What is even more greater that you can actually walk with any 360 camera through a space in 360 video mode, then extract frames say every 1 meter and feed it to Matterport to create a tour.

So Matterport is no longer stuck only to supported cameras and there may be a way to create a Matterport tour in minutes with a 360 video mode. Using some way to get a camera driven through space without any photographer caring it it really can take 3-5 minutes for capturing it even in 200-300 sqm space.

@Wingman Yes, and this feature can enable shared capturing with multiple devices.

You can already import 3D Scans from a BLK360 and add them to your scan.

Probably we will see a new capture app, that will allow import of high quality 360 plus indoor lidar plus drone exterior, plus, plus, plus.
