Panoramas with tele lens?

[Thmoore]

So to sum it up there isn't really any way to stitch the 70mm DJI Pano's easily? I have 137 images taken with the Mavic 3 Pro and have tried about 5 stitching programs all to NO AVAIL.

Panorama Stitcher on the Mac is working well for me so far: ‎Panorama Stitcher

Panorama studio pro stitched them. Trying to figure out how to get Facebook to post it. Thanks.

Excellent. You might need to expand the canvas in Photoshop to a full 360x180 by cloning in a ceiling and/or reduce the image size to conform to Facebook's 360 pano requirements.

Also, try this:

Simple 360 Pano to Facebook

When you do 360 degree panoramas in DJI Go, most people tell you to go to some 3rd party site and blah blah blah. There's a way to avoid all that for Facebook. Put in these two RICOH entries in the file properties of your 360 panorama and Facebook will do the rest.

I have heard that with the latest update, that 3X is now available for panoramic mode. I will check out tonight after work.

It's always been easy to use that camera for panoramas without an automated function.
Here's a 5-image vertical panorama I shot manually last week:

I tried it tonight and it switched back to 24mm when I entered panoramic mode. I am sure I can manually shoot and allow 33 percent overlap and then purchase software to photostich. But, I heard through the grapevine that it will be available to use the 3X while using panoramic. But apparently not yet.

The Air 3 has a huge opportunity in my opinion and that is to use the tele lens to do high res mosaics but as I understand it there is no auto pano mode using the tele lens only the wide?

Imagine if you could do a bank of images using the tele lens and stitch those to form a single image? Wow what quality that would be and in something a lot cheaper than the Mavic 3.

I guess you can achieve the effect manually but not as convenient, one day maybe...

This is something I do regularly, but not with the air 3: my weapon of choice is my Mavic 2 zoom, which has a 2X optical zoom so it's the same principle as your air 3's 77mm equiv. camera.

Didn't spot what your editing hardware was, but mine's a windows PC. I use a little bit of fluff named Microsoft ICE v.2, which ignoring the occasional hiccough that can usually be rectified by re-running the analysis & compositing routine over from scratch: the results for both simple and complex pano's are frankly jaw dropping.

Used to use the grand-daddy of the Pano stitchers: Hugin which is an astonishing piece of software, but very 'geeky' to get your head round, long-winded and pretty involved as a workflow. I switched to ICE v.2 as an auto-stitcher because it is accurate enough for a compulsive perfectionist (that'll be me then) and fast with a capital 'F'.

If the algorithm is the same as the 70mm spherical pano on the Mavic 3 Pro, it takes over 4 minutes to shoot one, and still doesn’t stitch them in camera, forcing you to do that on your own. There is only a mild increase in resolution over the 24mm spherical pano, which shoots the images and also stitches them into a HiRes 75MB jpg in under 75 seconds.

Its not mild increase. 3xzoom lens is actually making 1.2 giga pixel panoramas. I only got my air3 this week and 360 pano option on 70mm lens is fantastic!!

My "mild increase" in resolution comparison was to the 24mm on the Mavic 3 Pro, not the 24mm on the Air 3. On the Air 3, the sensors are both the same size, so it would be more significant.
