Very helpful and to the point! I was having problems connecting rooms and the hallway...yes, line of sight was the issue. Thank you for solving my dilemma... subscribed!
nice post - been using the Theta business edition for about 2-years - mediocre quality, but I only charge 50 as an add on - it does use up cellular data on site though - I am able to custom the WB, ISO and exposure comp for each shot, which I like. I paid the Theta off in a few months with the add on and it just keeps on giving!
Curious - do you have to have a live internet connection with your phone? What happens when you are doing a scan where you have no signal? Is it like Matterport where you can upload once you are on wifi or have signal? Thanks!
Thank you. If I'm just taking a 3d tour for a realtor do I have to "post the listing" or can I just send a link to the tour to the real estate agent. Completely new to this.
Hey Mike great insight w Zillow 3D home app & coverage on point - question how app syncs house location on listing & thus can validate 3D home tour upload? From your device of choice whether phone or Ricoh Theta - the finished virtual tour is more of less attached to the addressed listing correct? Thanks for sharing in advance!
I’m not entirely sure. I’ve never been in that scenario. You do have to sign into the app and all to do it and that will require connection so I’m guessing that may be an issue.
Thank you for posting this video, great info! Btw what kind of settings do you use for Theta Z1 since there is no post processing available after the shoot?
Hey Mike! Hope you are doing well! Do you still think the Ricoh Theta Z1 is the most adequate equipment to do quality Virtual Tours, without spending the big bucks? I use the Trisio Lite 2, really like the quality, the only issue is the workflow, doesn't work directly with matterport app... Thanks!
Great video, I’m definitely interested in offering this. I have the Matterport pro 2 camera. Would I be able to use it with the Zillow app or do I need something like the Theta? Thank you in advance!
I’m having an issue with going back over an area at the beginning of the home. Not sure what’s the best method to go back over areas. I enter the house and the living room and kitchen split to the left. And then the hallway to the left takes you down the hallway and into the bedrooms. But It seems to skip over from the kitchen back to the hallway on the left side. Not sure what’s causing that.
@@smcarmel hi, there’s no need to go back over any area. Once you scan an area move onto the next and so on. You should never have to scan an area again.
What do you think of alternatives to Matterport like Metareal which offers dollhouses and floorplans much cheaper. The quality and customization is really good too and you can pay a small price to have them stitch together the shots. Kuula looks really good as well.
So it just posts to the listing on Zillow even if the agent hasn’t updated the photos yet or if the listing isn’t live yet? I’m a little confused on that part.
Excellent Tutorial Video On Zillow 3D Virtual Tour! Thank You Mike For Your Professionalism and Honesty! Well Done! Thank You So Much For Sharing It With Us!
When processing the scans from iPad to desktop, are the scans recognized automatically once you connect from one device to the other? Or do you simply direct yourself to the folder containing the scans?
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography which one do you use? I tried putting it on my camera tripod and in the picture I can see the tripod. Thanks for the reply!!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography oh I see, my tripod is the one I use for my camera though. I can see the whole tripod head haha. What tripod do you use for the 360 camera?
Another very helpful video. How do you deliver the finished product to the realtor? Do you send it to Zillow on your own account or does the realtor have to send it?
Sorry, but I am unclear here. Do the tours have to viewed on Zillows site or can my client upload the tour and view it from their own real estate website?
Does it give you the option to upload from a detailed edit outside the program, for better quality? Also, despite taking more time, can one give it Matterport treatment with additional shots, so that quality work stands out?
@@p.burley4533 I hear you but, for a product that’s 100% free how much can you really expect? I’d say it’s pretty good considering it’s absolutely free.
Does the tour remain under your name? (Name of the person who took the tour). How would you get it to the listing real estate agent to list it under their name?
It remains under who’s account it was shot on (so your name). It’s automatically connected the address and Zillow listing so there’s no need to transfer it to someone else like the agent. It doesn’t display your name on Zillow, it’s unbranded.
I suppose the field of view would be different depending on the camera lens. Yeah, there will be a quality difference. The theta z1 I’m using in the video has a 1 inch sensor which is much larger than a smart phone sensor.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography I notice a black band at the top and bottom of a Zillow tour when shot with an Iphone 12pro. is that because of the phone or does a 360 camera do that as well?
Hello, I have a problem connecting Theta Z1 with Iphone 14 Pro MAx. The iPhone does not see Theta only itself. Although WiFi connects to Theta Z1 but the Matterport app does not see this camera Anyone have any experience with this issue? Can help?
Firstly, make sure the firmware is up to date on the Z1. That very well may be the problem. I had an issue connecting in the beginning as well but once I updated the firmware on the camera I was good to go. Also, Have you tried connecting with the native Theta app?
Thank you for sharing the additional information. I understand that you are having issue connecting your Ricoh camera with your iPhone 14 Pro max and we apologies for any inconveninence caused. We are aware of this issue and currently investigating on why iPhone 14 pro or pro max model is unable to see the 360 cameras. We will get back to you once there is any update from our engineering team regarding this issue. Matterport Support Team
I suppose theoretically you can, you just have to switch back and forth between apps. You would have to do each scan twice, once in each app and then move the camera.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography okay I purchased the Theta Z1 and bought both the tripod and monopod you recommended, I noticed it didn't look like you had to use a leveler head when doing the 360 scans?
For just Zillow tours maybe not but if you are doing matterport or a higher end product like that I would definitely say it’s worth it. Depends on how much you are doing these sort of things.
Been going through hell lately with this. I was using ATT Calypso Android 10 to make zillow virtual tours and it's been working, no problem. On Sunday the app begins to not work. I messaged Zillow and they said that phone is not supported and I need to use Samsung Galaxy S10 or above (or some other phones mentioned). So on the advice of several people at the store I bought a Samsung Galaxy AO3s. Brand new phone and the app still doesn't work. I thought this phone was above S10. Frustrating.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography I called Matterport. They said I can use this phone for the app and use my Theta SC2 for the virtual tour. Hopefully I can get this set up at least.
Hello! Question, does it have a way to keep the tour private? What if the realtor does not want the 3D listing visible? and only show it to specific leads? Does this ever happen by the way? Or we have to forceful have the virtual tour public on Zillow? Thanks!
It’s not shareable unless it’s live to my knowledge. I’m not 100% on that though, I would have to try. I think the only way to view it if it’s private would be to log in to your account.
just liked and subscribed.... I hope you have more vids.. as this is the first I've come across... just getting started in the biz, with a insta 360x4... and thank you so much.
Great video! I just used your links to purchase some items on Amazon really like your channel. A few questions. 1. Do you think Zillow will keep app open since they acquired media company in house? 2. With so many options like Zillow, Matter Port, iGuide, RICOH360, CloudPano... What do you recommend? Are you still recommending the Theta Z1? What do you think of the insta360 X3?
Yeah, I definitely think Zillow will keep the app open. They want people to be dedicated to their platform as much as possible. Matterport is still my go to for these type of tours and what people ask for the most. The Z1 is great! Yea, definitely recommend it. I have never used the Insta360 x3 so not sure about that one.

I appreciate that! I’m always striving for that. Thanks!
Thank you for this. You didn't spend 45 minutes talking about nonsense and got right into what to do and how to do it.

Do you have to post it? Or after creating can you just share link with agent for them to share?
Can you tell me what setting I need to use on Insta 360 X3 to use on Zillow 3-D.
Very informative, thanks for posting.
Can they add the zillow 3D Tour and a Video in MLS?
Thanks for the info! Great advice and info!
Hey Mike, thank you for wonderful tutorial as always. I’m from Canada so Zillow doesn’t work for us, is there any other app that you recommend?
Very good video, thanks for the tips.
Hey I have a question can you use the 360 1-in sensor in HDR with Zillow, cuz I really don't like the photos with Zillow, I need to edit my photos
Curious - do you have to have a live internet connection with your phone? What happens when you are doing a scan where you have no signal? Is it like Matterport where you can upload once you are on wifi or have signal? Thanks!
What if i have my 360 pics already done and want to put them into the app…meaning I am not shooting live, can that be done?
Thank you. If I'm just taking a 3d tour for a realtor do I have to "post the listing" or can I just send a link to the tour to the real estate agent. Completely new to this.
You have to post the tour to Zillow. You can send to someone else to post.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography can i export the tour to my own computer to edit, to then upload to any 3d software?
Interesting! Can I make a 3-d tour with that camera without the Zillow app, process the images on my PC and then upload to my RE agency?
You would need to do it through some sort of virtual tour processing service. I’m not aware of any way to do it by yourself
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography yes but can you export to your own computer, manipulate the video and then find a virtual tour software you want?
Hey Mike great insight w Zillow 3D home app & coverage on point - question how app syncs house location on listing & thus can validate 3D home tour upload? From your device of choice whether phone or Ricoh Theta - the finished virtual tour is more of less attached to the addressed listing correct? Thanks for sharing in advance!
Yes it’s attached to the address on Zillow. It does this through the 3D home app on your phone, not the camera.
Good tutorial. Can you take all the photos then wait till later to upload the photos if in an area that doesn't have cell service or wifi?
I’m not entirely sure. I’ve never been in that scenario. You do have to sign into the app and all to do it and that will require connection so I’m guessing that may be an issue.
Thank you for posting this video, great info! Btw what kind of settings do you use for Theta Z1 since there is no post processing available after the shoot?
Default settings. I don’t change anything.
Wow! Very helpful and informative. What other cameras are compatible? Is the GoPro Max 360 compatible?
No go pro cameras are compatible as far as I know. I believe only some Ricoh brand cameras are compatible but you can definitely check their website.
your description says discount on Luminar. Is Luminar able to edit 360 images?
Hey Mike! Hope you are doing well! Do you still think the Ricoh Theta Z1 is the most adequate equipment to do quality Virtual Tours, without spending the big bucks? I use the Trisio Lite 2, really like the quality, the only issue is the workflow, doesn't work directly with matterport app... Thanks!
Hey! Yes, theta z1 or insta360 has a camera now as well with 1” sensor. Haven’t used it myself yet though so can’t really comment on its quality.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotographywhich insta 360 would you recommended?
Great video, I’m definitely interested in offering this. I have the Matterport pro 2 camera. Would I be able to use it with the Zillow app or do I need something like the Theta? Thank you in advance!
you cannot use the matterport camera for Zillow 3D unfortunately. You will need one of the 3d cameras they list as compatible.

Could you look at the listing? ;)
What do you think of alternatives to Matterport like Metareal which offers dollhouses and floorplans much cheaper. The quality and customization is really good too and you can pay a small price to have them stitch together the shots. Kuula looks really good as well.
iguide I have explored and made a video on. Good product. Not familiar with the ones you mentioned but will look into it!
Great video! Have you done one of these for Matterport?
Yes I have! ruclips.net/video/EvkcUBy2REI/видео.html
So it just posts to the listing on Zillow even if the agent hasn’t updated the photos yet or if the listing isn’t live yet? I’m a little confused on that part.
Yes, basically, if you post it right away on site. This is another reason why I wait to post til I get the go ahead from realtor.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography gotcha, thanks.
Are there any techniques to be able to do a Zillow AND Matterport scan at the same time while on-site?
Not that I’m aware of!
Hi, can this app used in Australia? Thanks
Just starting to research real estate photography… basic question but how do you transfer your photos to the realtor? Through email or Dropbox
I have a video on that you can see here: ruclips.net/video/2qsCu5SSKBQ/видео.html

Hi! what is the tripod? and how do you mount the 3-d camera to it?
You can use basically any tripod. You just screw the base plate to the 3D camera as you would any other camera
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography which one do you use? I tried putting it on my camera tripod and in the picture I can see the tripod. Thanks for the reply!!
@@TurnFocusMedia yes, you can see my tripod if you look down in the tour. If it concerns you then try using a monopod

Have you noticed a red flare in your images from the Z1? I’ve been seeing it in my scans and not sure how to avoid it
I haven’t experienced that!
Awesome video very informative, but how do you get paid? Is it instant or does it have to be approved first?! I’m a little confused
Agent pays you to do it for them
When you post a video on Zillow app you get paid for that? Or just when you talked to a real state agent to sell your services?😊
is there any difference in field of view or quality between a smartphone with an ultra-wide lens and a dedicated 360 camera?
I suppose the field of view would be different depending on the camera lens. Yeah, there will be a quality difference. The theta z1 I’m using in the video has a 1 inch sensor which is much larger than a smart phone sensor.
