Wide Angle Lens or Panorama?

[cb24nz]

Interested in getting the Wide Angle Lens for my Mini Pro 4.
How much better will it be be using this lens than just taking a panaroma photo?

Also if you use this lens while taking a panaroma photo, would it be extra wide?

Using a supplementary lens will give inferior results compared to what you get with the camera's native lens.

A panorama is as wide as you make it.
There's no need to use a supplementary wide lens if you are making a wide panorama.

Pano.
Shooting a pano pulls in much more data, multiple frames of data.
Using a wide angle increases the field of view without increasing the data, meaning less detail.

That's a nice shot. Where is this?

Don't get a wide angle lens, you will get better results by shooting more frames of the scene you want and then stich them together, to create a panorama to what ever size you wish. You will have a much larger, more detailed image. When you shoot multiple frames for making a panorama, be sure to overlap each frame by at least 20% from the previous frame, to get the best results, when stitching it all together.

If you have a drone that allows for vertical camera position, use that when taking multiple shots to overlap, to stitch together for a large panorama. That will give you the best results and highest quality.

Yup.

I've shot panos that were 3 frames tall by 10 or more frames wide. I use the grid lines to overlap mine by about a third, both vertically and horizontally.
