In this video, authors Richard Harrington and Francis Torres discuss how to capture VR photos with an Insta360.
- Let's start by taking a look at a 360 camera … that has a lot of features, but it's easy to use. … This is the Insta360 ONE X, … and it's designed for both photo, … and video capture as well as some special purposes. … Now I've already attached the camera to a monopod. … In this case I'm using the monopod, … or the selfie stick that comes from the company, … and it's going into a tripod. … While you don't have to use their particular hardware, … one benefit is that they've actually identified this color, … this reflective black, … and they're able to automatically remove it from the shot … using a variety of in software stitching techniques. … So if you stick with their hardware solution, … it actually makes for less work later on. … Now this particular camera's pretty straightforward. … There's a lens on each side of the camera, … and they have a little bit more than a 180 degree … field of view. … So when the two angles are stitched together, … we get a smooth overall image. … We're going to start by talking about the photo settings here. …
