Air 2s Pano

[Mavic-Max]

Hiya. Just tried out the pano feature on my air 2s. Is it normal to have the top third blurred as seen in my photo

 

[GFields]

No. I've not seen that before

Could it be that I have 'Allowed Gimbal Upward Rotation' in the settings. It doesn't appear when taking normal shots.

Have you tried repeating the exercise to see if subsequent pano's turn out the same?

Unfortunately im back home now, so I will have to wait till I go again. Just wondered if its something glitchy with DJI or if I have a problem with my drone

I forgot to ask: is the final image what the DJI pano stitch process kicked out as a JPG, or have you assembled it through third party pano stitching software?

I shoot 'super resolution' pano's regularly (3x3 12mp with Mavic 2 Zoom). The DJI assembly process screws up from time to time. To counter this, I'll shoot JPG+DNG with 'save original RAW shots' enabled and then run the DNG's though either ICE (batch rendering the DNG's to uncompressed JPG's) or Autopano Giga (which will handle DNG's).

You really need to repeat the shoot process a number of times before questioning whether there's something wrong with the camera.

Thanks for your reply. Yep this is direct from the drone. I'll take note of your comments and try different settings next time.

I also shoot single shots with a slight yaw, aiming for a 30% horizontal overlap and then assemble with a dedicated pano stitcher (simple manual linear panoramic). If you use a complex Pano stitcher (Hugin or Autopano Giga) you can manually replicate the 'top row: middle row: bottom row' layout to produce gigapixel images. It's a fiddle: but the end result can be outstanding.
