Hi Khalifah. In this sample, the one that looks like it has a clear nadir was attached upside down via suction to the sunroof. But I’ll create a tutorial for fixing the nadir.

Made in China.

AMEN!

I’m not sure a car interior is a good example upon which to make this decision. I really don’t think the xphase scan is the right camera for that application, either in the top end (= DSLR through window/windows whited out or photoshopped) or the resale market (= decent 360 camera better option due to minimal nadir patch, unlike your example normally these are centred in cabin in which case nadir patching is v.difficult).

When it comes to “virtual tours” you definately need a camera that can also appear in reasonable focus in the middle distance. My main use case is resort hotels/spas/villas where large dining and function rooms and external swimming pool areas etc. are key. Of course in these cases there are some small rooms (en-suites) so it would be great to see such examples with the 1.8m focus.

For me, except in art galleries/museums (where copyyright concerns may prefer limited zoom?), the areas where the xphase Scan higher resolution (cf 1-shot 360 cameras) and therefore zooming-in is of most importance will be larger areas. Only 360 photographers zoom in on shampoo in an ensuite, but “normal” users like to zoom into distant external objects.

So I think you can guess my answer: I wouldn’t buy the 1.2m focus version. If I need to use another set up in en-suites that is a smaller challenge and anyhow resolution is less important so I could limit zoom levels in the xml.

I really think the poll would be more accurate once we can all see your test results in a range of other situations: small large/rooms and external areas but particularly in windows / doorways to judge the dynamic range.

However let’s see what others think/use cases.

Thanks again for all your careful analysis over the years.
Cheers
Peter
