Hi Mic,

JFYI. Don’t know if it’s an exceptional error or if it’s general but the URL above doesn’t work for me. I get the error: There has been a critical error on this website. Learn more about debugging in WordPress.

In reply to iram rolon. Hi Iram, I can also assure that the Mi Sphere works perfectly with the Samsung S6. It was the first camera-phone combination I used before de S10.

Hi Lourdes. For Mi Sphere, I’ve used either the Samsung green one or any Sandisk one, such as this one: https://amzn.to/3pvHdwe

Hi, Mic
I’m always appreciate your useful articles that help me.

Good news for Mi Sphere users(and not only for Mi Sphere users), You could stabilize your fast shaking(rapid vibrate) 360 video by applying Stabilize 360 filter that is on free video editor “Shotcut”.
See these site.

You can also rotate front direction(forward) of your 360 video, and can level the horizon as well as stabilize drifting horizon by applying Transform 360 filter & keyframe edit.

I had suffered viewing my trip videos for a year. Those 360 videos taken with Mi Sphere sometimes shake fast. And some are not leveled the horizon. Fast shaking and/or not leveled horizon made me uncomfortable especially when viewing 360 video with VR goggles. I had been seeking solution to solve these problems. I had wondered do I need to purchase video editor to solve. But recently I found these information, and applied these filters on my shaky video. Wow! My memorable but shaky video became stable video! Now I and my videos are rescued.
I hope this comment will help those who suffered fast shaking 360 video like me.

Mic, Is this already known knowledge? If you feel this useful and new. I hope you write it on your website to spread this information.

Regards

hey man, just wanted to say thanks for all the work! I really appreciated the files you’ve shared. Helped in deciding if 360 is for me and if my pc and phone can handle it. Cheers ????

I have tried to stich this on my mac, i downloaded the program and the unstitched video and photos, stitching the video was superfast and produced a preview window, stitching the hemispheres did not work it just produced a small black rectangle in the stitch program with nothing to do with it! There are no instructions at all it seems. I have no idea why it stitched videos but not jpegs, jpegs are only what i am interested in so was disappointed. I want to buy this camera but the mac support is so limited it puts me off and off. Am I doing something wrong Mik?

I’m having a difficult time trying to stitch Mi Sphere photos with 3DVista Stitcher 4.
Supposedly the Focal Length is 1.43. What is the Crop Factor?
