Hi together

I have seen, that other user have made some Pano shooting from the ground. That means, when the gimbal is down in direction to the earth. I tried to do such a Pano, but with no success.
First I positioned my spark in the sky. Then i moved the camera/gimbal down, so that i can see the earth and myself too. Then I started the Pano shooting. Suddenly the spark moves the gimbal to a horizontal position and shoots the whole Pano in horizontal position.

How is it possible to shoot Panoramas, when the gimbal is always in down position?

Thanks a lot for helping :-).

I've tried the same thing without great success.  what i found was the outer edges of my pano, the image was disstorted.  No success here, sorry

At the moment you have to do it manually, hopefully in the new .700 fw it will have the little planet capture built in, then you will be able to do what you are trying to do automatically

That would be the Sphere capture

If you use the 9-images panoramic mode, you have nothing more to do than making the camera look down and trigger the shot.

Then, either assemble the picture in DJI GO or Microsoft ICE (which I prefer).

The image below was done this way. I scaled it down since the original file was 4747 x 4892.

check this out, he was able to do it.  https://forum.dji.com/thread-115959-1-1.html

Looking great!

Hi

First I made the camera looking down. Then I trigger the shots, but the camera goes automatically in horizontal position and shots the 9 pictures in horizontal mode.

Do I have to press the wheel for the gimbal looking down, the whole time until the last shot is finished?
How exactly does this work?

Please note that there are two modes in Pano:
1.Vertical mode: Three shots will be captured vertically and then a vertical panorama will be composed.
2.Horizontal: Nine shots will be captured and a panorama will be composed.
If you make the camera look down and trigger the shots, the drone will rotate and take photos.

This is not an option on the Mavic and Spark range as the gimbal have limited range of movement. It can only really face forward or down.

On the Phantom and Inspire range the gimbal can face toward the rear (freely rotate 360°). This allows the camera enough range of movement to capture a downward pano.

The 3x3 Pano is working, downwards.
It is actually working in every angle, you position the cam before taking the pano.

For the ground pano, the spark is taking one , the middle picture, and after the  gimbal gets up a little and the bird rotates for the other 8 photos about 45° each shot.
That how it gets "around" the -85° limitation of the gimbal

Hi,

When I fly my mavic 2 pro  drone and try to take a horizontal 3 X 3 pano with the looking down, it automatically moves in horizontal position similar to what wandflur said above.

Am I doing something wrong?
