I don't normally use the Fly app, but was trying it out as there are some features I need for an upcoming shoot.

I normally run 360 panos in Dronelink and stich them myself. But I thought I would see how the DJI software does and took a few test shots.

In each case the pano is missing a section. There are only 21 photos (DL takes 23) and it doesn't go all the way around. It seems like it misses the last 2 or three photos, including the nadir shot. As such, both the 360 photo processed in the app, and anything I do myself, have gaps and a hole.

What am I missing?

I went back and looked at folders from a previous test back in March (yes...I'm a data hoarder) and it has the exact same problem, so it doesn't seem to be new.

Here's a link to the DJI app stitched image

Pano

I'm certainly glad I tested this before assuming all was good or this could have been embarrassing. I guess for the time being I'll go back to my old methods.

TIA for any helpful information
 
And a quick update...
I ran two more panos in the house (it's raining today) and both worked fine. This time it took 26 (I think?) photos and no gaps.

It's possible that I switched modes before it fully finished processing and I just need to be patient.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

After it's done taking the shots... the fly app processes them. It could be that you didnt allow it to finish. Ive done that a couple times and lost the whole shot.

I think that might be it. There was a break in the weather and I went out and re-shot it and that seems fine so...I guess I need to be patient :)
