Get three times your photo quality from stills...

[Bussty]

Just realised rather than taking a horizontal pic at the 48 or 12 MP resolution just flip that camera to vertical and take three or 4 overlapping shots and stitch them. You now have a pretty high resolution image rivaling if not exceeding the quality of the Mavic 3 single image.

Watch this before making this advice. Mini 3 Pro may need some software refinement in the vertical camera department before your dreams can come true:

Interesting mini creates nice 360 panos (using external software) would have thought this would have been a doddle. If anybody is happy to take a 3 or 4 shot vertical pano (effectively) and post the jpegs or dngs we can have a look first hand...

Never mind.... the guy doesn't even have a Mini 3 Pro. If you read his comments, the footage is from the old Mavic Pro.

Ok thanks

I am hoping for a dedicated Pano mode for the vertical camera that does some of the work you are looking for in an automated fashion. I sometimes do some stitching for larger images or to get more dynamic range but the Mavic 3 and Mavic Air 2s do a pretty good job on their own.

I guess you would like to think just a matter of time then? (for firmware upgrade)

Looking forward to seeing some Vertical Shots with the Manual Panos, please post.

Oh wow, that's disappointing that vertical orientation is yet to be implemented in pano mode.

I don't need the vertical mode for videos on social media but for the ease of taking panoramas.

Let's hope for a software update but it's beyond my mind how DJI is always that short-sighted and stinted for proper implementation (same with AEB and panorama).

mini 3 pro panoramas zenith

does anyone know how many images are taken in a full panorama and how large the zenith hole is compared to mini 2 or does it take all around?

Last try regarding Sphere Panorama

There are hundreds of users here who already own the Mini 3 Pro. Who have probably also done a firmware update. Have any of you finally tried if DJI solved the sphere panorama sky problem with the update? The update feature list is so squishy that you still can't tell from it if a gimbal setting...

Judging from the lack of AEB and panorama with the M2P (could only be reached with Litchi with first setting up AEB and then changing to pano), I doubt, we will ever experience what the drone is capable of with comfort.

Yeah, I know, you can do it manually and that's the way to go for now, but it is so cumbersome that so many things go to waste as DJI does not really care about even very small improvements in software.

Let's hope and see ...

Yes would love to be head of the DJI customer service and improvement team for just a month

Sure, any additional line of code costs money, support etc.
But why build a drone with the gimbal going up to 60 ° and then let the automatic mode just do the same old 20 ° flip like all the other models?

But well, we saw how DJI released the Mavic 3 even without proper modes, so we shouldn't be surprised at all.
Will definitely write a short and friendly message to [email protected] to see, if they have plans to improve in the near future.

How do you stitch jpegs? Also how can you stretch a jpeg plan view so that there is no distortion?0

Use Photoshop, Lightroom, PTgui, or any other pano stitching software.

Much of your success with Adobe Lightroom and its ability to stitch will depend upon how high you were when taking the picture and how much lower ground area you have taken compared to that of the sky.

To help with this process you need take different heights and find the best one that the software works with best.
Adobe has some tricks that will help but the better picture you give the better the results .

You can stitch panoramas taken at any height.

Its not giving you any extra detail, resolution or "quality" over a single image - its just giving a wide field of view from that position.
It also has large downsides as as moving objects can appear multiple times (cars etc) and other effects.
Panoramas are great but they dont give "3x the quality" at all.

Sorry you are right it's only about 1.8x the quality for a 16x9 horizontal image taken on Mavic 3. But point is you can potentially exceed the resolution of a single Mavic 3 image. And yes still days are better.

Maths...

16/9 Mavic 3 image is 5280 x 2970 = 15681600 pixels

Flipping the Mini 3 to vertical and fitting the Vertical into the 2970 vertical space of the Mavic 3 to fill the same view means the 4032 x 3024 sensor of the Mini 3 would fit 2.37 times across the sensor (2970 x 3/4 = 2227.5 5280/2227.5 = 2.37x)

Mini 4/3 sensor is 4032 x 3024 = 12192768 pixels x by 2.37 = 2889680 pixels

2889680 / 15681600 = 1.84x number of pixels.
