Hi Alex. Thanks for enrolling in VTE2. I haven’t finished editing them because editing is taking much longer. But I am uploading a video every week. In the meantime, if you have questions about these or other topics, please post in the VTE2 facebook group. Thanks.

just bought VTE 2.0. You wrote that the following topics will be added by the end of march:

– By end of March: How to self-host virtual tours with or without FTP
– By end of March: How to shoot car interiors with DSLR / mirrorless

I cant find them in VTE 2.0 Dashboard. May I’m searching wrong… Do you have any advance?

Thanks and best regards,

Alex

Thanks Roland. Samyang 12 f/2.8 is a good lens but if you are enrolled in VTE2 you will know there are much better options. Ditto with the camera.

I currently own an Insta360 Pro camera and would like to add a DSLR/mirrorless camera for higher quality 360 photos. After viewing your videos I think I will go for the following setup:

Sony A7R mirrorless camera
Samyang 12f/2.8 lens

Do you still recommend this combination or would you prefer a different lens?

Looking forward to go through VTE 2.0

Thanks,
Roland

Hi Johan. For video, it depends on whether you want ultrawide rectilinear or fisheye. If you want both, I recommend fisheye instead because you can de-fish it to make it look like ultrawide rectilinear.

For a fisheye lens, it depends on whether you want multirow or single row. The Samyang 8mm f/3.5 with removable hood is a little more versatile than the 2.8 because it has a removable hood, so if you ever want to shoot full frame, you can also use it with a single row panohead.
