Greetings dronists!
This post is going to be a short one since it focuses on one subject. I would like to share you an idea of how a common thing can become something stunning. This is the first time I photograph a statue with a drone and in my opinion, the results are stunning.
The Mavic Air is your best choice to capture 360 panoramas because of its compact size.

Note: Because objects were pretty close I heavily relied on the Mavic Airs obstacle avoidance sensors.

Little Planet View


My goal was to capture a picture where the statue would "pop out"! To achieve the effect I needed to fly really close. For stitching photos the "free way" I used ICE (Microsoft Image Composite Editor) which is only available on Windows operating systems. You can do some awesome stuff by stitching the individual photos saved on your SD card.

"Inside out" view


Feel free to look around in my hometown. With this unedited 360 panorama straight out of the Mavic Air.



Also you can make Astro shot video of statues ;).

Feel free to ask questions!

That's a good idea. And well executed!
