Taking 360 Panoramas Manually - Anyone? ;)

OK - Finally got around to this.

Totally manual capture.
25 images.
1 straight down.
8 each at 45/0/-30
Manual exposure

I switched Go4 to map mode to guess the panning angles … starting off pointing due North.
After each set, I obviously had to switch to FPV mode to adjust the camera pitch.

Another time, I will try better vertical overlap by doing the one straight down (90), then 8 at each of 50/10-30.

Overall I’m really pleased with the first attempt.

Downside? It’s slow to do.

Incidentally, I used a shot 90deg to the sun, with 25% sky / 75% ground to base the manual exposure.
