    For those wondering about the NN R1 vs. the approach I show in this video: The rig I show here starts at $15 compared to the NN R1 which starts at $230 (plus ring). They both use the same lens, and calibration is not much different between the two; in fact, calibrating the nodal point on such a wide angle lens allows a much wider tolerance. All 360 panos need to deal with zenith and nadir, and in the approach I show here, neither zenith nor nadir shots are required; instead, just use the simple and accurate techniques I show near the end of the video.

    I purchased the 140mm nodal rail, and a refurbished Neewer manual fisheye for just $99, and the results look very promising for such a small investment. Thank you Nathan! I'm excited to have something new to offer my clients.

    Hi Nathan. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the knowledge you have given me throughout your channel. I was longing to get that crisp look and clear windows for several years. Although I was mostly blending exposures with luminosity masks for the last 4 years I grew tired of that and wanted something even more upscale for luxury homes. I have watched over 20 hours of your videos in the last two days. This weekend I tried out Flambient, being a seasoned photographer and studio photographer helps because I grasp light very well. Your techniques brought my images to the next level I was after. As I thank you I just purchased two of your books! It's the least I can do for how amazing these videos are! So Thank you man!

    I started as a lenticular 3D photographer in 2008 but I sucked in marketing, which I still do, but when I look at 'Google Street View' I see a lot of panoramas with stitching errors that I would NEVER publish. Virtual tours is pro level stuff but even though my interest is in 'Google Street View' I still want to learn from professionals. Thanks for posting.

    Thank you sir, great video. I've been shooting 360 with a cheap xiaomi mi sphere camera but often wondered how some folks were getting these amazing 360 pan shots. Now I know, DSLR, a tripod pan head and many many hi res shots. Guess I'll have to fire up the old Canon DSLR and start experimenting.

      You calibrate it like any other pano head, in this setup by adjusting the position of the nodal rail. This might also help: ua-cam.com/video/cp7ZAaCxE28/v-deo.html

    @randybradley5697 2 роки тому

    Nathan, thank you for this video. I have this same set up as you show here. My problem is that I’m trying to do a 360 in a small room with a ceiling fan in the center of the ceiling. Every time I turn the camera to a different angle to take another shot (0, 90,)I get that ceiling fan in each shot but from a different angle. When I stitch the images together I get multiple ceiling fans. How do I get around this? Thank you

    • @NathanCoolPhoto
      @NathanCoolPhoto  2 роки тому

      No matter the ceiling element (fan, light, etc) as long as it's stationary it shouldn't be a problem. My recommendation though is just to put in a zenith patch. I recently did that for this one where something got fubar'ed in my zenith shot app.cloudpano.com/tours/UWoYnKk8C?sceneId=aftgLtY1Q

    Hi Nathan, great video...exactly what I was looking for. I have a question, I have already bought a lens for my camera. It is the same as you suggest, BUT it is the type with the build in hood (which is not removable). Will this method still work or not? Will be there a place to overlap? Thanks a lot in advnace for the ansver

    Does this mean you no longer use the 12mm? seems a hell of a lot easier. :-)

    • @NathanCoolPhoto
      @NathanCoolPhoto  3 роки тому +1

      Great question. To make this work you have to remove the lens hood, which prevents the lens cover from being attached. That leaves the front lens element vulnerable to scratch-and-bumps, so I use the 12mm mostly and use this 8mm rig for special setups. But, with that said, you certainly could just use this 8mm setup and get by 100%. You will have slightly smaller panos, but for most work that would be completely fine.
