In reply to Goleyaas. Yes! I have the Mini 3 (not Pro) and it does take full 360 photos.

Can the more recent mini 3 (non-pro) also capture such fully spherical panoramas?

Does it saves individual RAWS? Thanks

I wish for Mavic 4 to do this!

It is an awesome update. I loved it as it reduces the effort in post. Here have a look at this video

It sometimes has problems stitching the photos together but majority are good

Pretty much anyone’s pictures are terrible compared to the one in the article!
His are the best I have seen. It is also heavily processed by a professional photographer and from what I read somewhere I think he manually takes the pictures for better resolution. Not 100% sure.

Here are the main “straight out of the camera” samples I have been able to locate prior to the last firmware. https://kuula.co/post/NTh7n/collection/7vJCk

Don’t get me wrong, the Mini Pro 3 is a better drone and I am thinking long and hard about upgrading, but even the other samples on the Kuula site that he posted are nothing like this! An amazing shot for sure.

I didn’t photoshop my Anafi sample, it is pretty much straight out of the camera and stitched in ICE. Takes 5 minutes and faster than the drone. Still obviously not a worthy comparison, just was trying to be helpful.

Your reviews are great BTW, appreciate all the work you put into them!

In reply to Jeremy. I have Anafi too but the quality is pretty terrible compared to this. Plus the range and stability are poor.

In reply to Brian. Yes, the Anafi has been able to create full spherical panoramas since day one.

In reply to Brian.

Yes I use the Anafi for this. I just use Microsoft ICE to stitch and get a 20k image very easily.

I think DJI has more dynamic range in the sun, but I’m still pretty happy. It takes 40 usable jpegs vs I think 25 in DJI.

Google compresses to 16k, but here is a sample. Aerial 360 View of McAlpine Park
