What is causing this panorama blur? Unstable Mavic or stitching bug?

Macabre · May 30, 2018

Top left corner. This issue happens in almost all my panorama pictures.

There was some wind, but where I live, it's basically always windy, especially at high latitude.
But it wasn't extremely windy. Maybe 5m/h.
Any idea what causes this and how to fix it, or am I doomed to take beautiful panorama pictures once or twice per year?

I will get some blurring on the stitch lines when it is windy but they never look like that. Which Mavic?

Pro Platinum.
Some pictures look fine, like the one I uploaded with this post, even though that one's not perfect either.
But it's annoying to get a lot of blurry pictures especially if it has the angle I want.

Looks like the software is having a problem... what are you using to stitch?

DJI Go.
There are other options?

Lots. Shoot in RAW. Photoshop and Lightroom can do it. There are some free options out there for PC and Mac but I use Lightroom for doing these... usually get perfect blends. Here are some other ideas.. some are free..

I use Hugin with pretty decent results. It will stitch non-tagged photos and has the ability to manually link stitch points if the automated function doesn't work well. And it's free. Just takes a little bit of learning to make it work well, but reasonably automated.
