Can DJI/Skypixel provide some simple instructions to show how to convert a 360° panorama into the format required to submit to Skypixel.
The tips by Rendy Cipta Muliawan do not tell how to do this either and several hours of Google searching has not helped me.

Creating a 360° panorama is easy but how do you make the aspect ratio of your panorama 2:1 ?

You need to make a fake sky. And then resize to 8000x4000 for acceptable 360x180 resolution.

Thanks ... I'll try that

One question though.... Can I submit my panoramas uploaded earlier to Skypixel ? Thanks !

A SHAME till now DJI didn't include a PANORAMA function (MODE) inside the app to shoot our own 360º by a camera that supposedly should do it from DAY ONE...

It's very easy to do t yourself

True, shame there is no mode or option in Dji GO app that can make this kind of photos.
Such as third party apps can make. I wont mention which ones but playstore has many.

Can  any one suggest me for making 360•Panorama with inspire 1

Did anyone notice there is a bug in Skypixel View Counter ? Open up any photos, videos or 360 photos...Try refresh your browser again and again...The view counter stats will jump like crazy even though you are the only one viewing the photos !

Is this a special camera to put on the phantom 4 ?
Where can I buy this??

Where can I buy the 360 panorama contest camera. ?

How you can make a contest without providing free software to make all users equal?
Its cheating. Just to promote the professional ones.
I even can't buy software where I live.. the china-firewall don't let do.
