Pano with 70mm lens??

[Filmarik]

Is it now, with the latest Fly App 1.17 possible to shoot automated panoramas with 70mm lens?

The Mavic 3 Pro has already been able to shoot fully automated spherical panos with its 70mm camera for some time now. It just cannot also stitch them like the Mavic 4 Pro and the Air 3S can, using the Free Pano option. You have to stitch them manually, and will end up deleting at least 30 of them because they are of the sky with no detail for stitching.

Which FlyApp version first enabled this? I am mostly interested in the 9 shot wide angle pano and to a lesser degree the 21 shot 180 deg pano

I don't know the version number (drone unavailable right now) , but it would have also required the supporting aircraft FW version, too. It was over a year ago. Might even have been at release. Have you tried it on whatever version you are on? I only used the 70mm Sphere, which created 127 images and took 3.5 minutes, wasting a full minute with 30 photos I had to later delete for the stitch.

I am on App 1.13.9 and the latest M3P FW. I tried today to shoot a few panos but the 9 shot wide pano and 21 shot 180 deg pano were only possible with the main 1x camera.

Is the full 360° Sphere pano available on the 70mm?
It should be.
That's the only one I ever used, and it really wasn't worth it.
Only marginally better resolution using 12MP images at 70mm than the main 24mm camera's spherical 20MP pano which takes 75 seconds including the 75MP in-camera stitch vs. 3.5 minutes and no in-camera stitch and 15 minutes of post stitching.

The 3.5 minutes flight time was the real killer. Attracts way too much attention while shooting for that long. Even 75 seconds is too long.

Most often I do my panos (not spherical) manually shooting ⅓ overlapping images with the 70 and 120mm lenses. Lightroom stitches them beautifully, even 5 shot AEB. For some reason it chokes when using 3shot AEB. Often with the 120 lens I'm shooting 7 across and 3 or 4 down for 50 or more individual shots. I use Aurora HDR for single HDR images. It's fantastic. If you peruse my youtube channel you can easily pick out some of the long panos. Often I will start a video frame with the pano filling the screen and then slide across it and finish pulling out to show the entire pano with black borders. digibud Nobody is ever around me to worry about 75 seconds being too long > .
