Sphere mode is best viewed on an Android device in Google photos with the device's rotation capability turned off and it's compass turned on. This will enable you to turn the phone in any direction and have the view that you would have had if you had been at the drone's location when the photo was taken.
Great video as always. Really appreciate you taking the time to make these. I went out and tried this yesterday. Unfortunately ON1 Photo Raw would not process these properly so I have had to subscribe to lightroom again, but the images are stunning and well worth the expense. Thank you very much.
I have similar distortion issues with the Mavic Air 2. I think the embedded software isn't very good at stitching so I tend to use Adobe Lightroom or Microsoft Image Composite Editor to stitch the RAW files and produce a better image. The Microsoft tool is free and offers around ten formats so you can preview and see what looks best.
I think your Mavic Pro 2 is faulty. While I never use the auto generated pano files (and always manually stitch the raws) the auto generated JPG Pano files that I get are easily able to be posted to socials without any artefacts or post processing. Are you using polarised filters? They will add artefacts to images when stitching. I tend to use the auto generated files as a preview of what I can expect from the results of the manual stitch (for composition). For the Air2 I find the results from manually shooting a panorama using AEB much better. I know it's more error prone but shooting manually using 5 shot AEB and then stitching in LRC using HDR Panorama gives you some simply epic results and largely overcomes the sensor size issue. LRC is so good now, you don't have to be so exact with the alignment and it's much more forgiving that the old days and older pano stitching programs.
I agree, at first, I thought my Mavic 2 Pro could be faulty. Yes, manual pano in AEB gives fantastic results. At the moment I am testing PTGuy and On1 RAW. I am planning to do a video about fully manual panos for true panorama heroes
Hi I was wondering if you could help me, I exported a 360 pano in Lightroom as you showed in the video but the xmp/exif metadata is wrong. When viewed in a 360 photo viewer like in Google Photos, the image is distorted since the viewer is trying to wrap the top of the image to the top apex of the virtual globe. The autogenerated fake sky from the drone's JPEGs prevents this weird distortion. Which settings do I need to change or what exif data do I need to change so the exported 360 photos from Lightroom do not have this weird distortion? Thanks!
I’m using an Air 2 and dont get a “panorama” folder even though I have it set to jpeg + RAW so I don’t have any files to stitch. I used to be able to do it on my Air 1 though… Any thoughts?
ciao!, with the mavic2pro I detect the problems you show only using low quality ND filters and polarizers or variables. Using polarpro filters I have not had those problems anymore, the panoramas all come out very well, few negative exceptions...so did you have any filters?
Hi Nico, I perfectly agree on the HDR Pano. It would be really useful! There is a way to use as many photos as you like: take a sphere pano saving the JPEG files, then select only the ones you are interested in and then stitch them together in Lightroom

Just wanna say: Great channel ! Keep up the good work.
Another excellent video, Vic. Thanks.

Thank you Rick
Very helpful and great video explaination, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for doing this video. So very informative and better than any other video on panorama creation.
Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your videos. I truly appreciate your insight. Waving from The Bahamas. 👍🏾

Very good explanation of the pano modes . 👌👌 . Subscribed. Thank you
great tutorial
This is unbelievable amazing view
Good video!! Appreciate your time in explaining it!
Many thanks,
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thank you for the helpful tutorial on panos!
tHANK YOU,

Fantastic video - thank you. Have you tried taking multiple exposures on panorama and using the hdr panorama merge?

i will love to have 15pics pano...wide is too small and 180 too much. also hdr pano raw could be really amazing
