Buying a used Pro2. Any way to check battery status?

Rvcbastos

4 monthsFathom3D (144): We've purchased several used Pro2s over the years. Some of them are pretty old (8 years). We just ask the seller to let us know how much battery life it has. (They tell us the battery life indicator that pops up when they press the battery check button. This has always worked for us.) If the camera is used consistently the batteries last a very long time. If a camera has sat for years without being used, it might not take a charge at all.

Do you find Matterport + Insta360 X3 + iPhone 14 Pro Max to be "glitchy"?

4 monthstmckay615 (4): I just got an Insta360 x3. Has anyone found it to be "glitchy" with the Matterport 3D software? I have an iphone 14 Pro Max and haven't had a problem with other things attached to it. It scans and puts the scans in the wrong room. I'm in the process of seeing it it develops okay, just wondering if that was a problem. Also, it hangs up when it's scanning and I have to either turn the camera off or my iphone off and restart.

The light itself also has the built in battery with the capability to charge your Z1 extending the time you can shot since the Z1 has a short battery life. The only down side is your adding weight to the top of the stand near the camera making it top heavy. The light output is adjustable.

Ricoh Theta Z1 vs Theta X for virtual tour business?

linas2569

3 yearsWingman (4339): 5.7K video is not that great. We are talking about 360 videos with 2 to 1 proportion that has a field of view of 360 x 180 degree so you need to compare it with a normal video and it is half of its resolution. Probably even more than half as it is just one side with 180 FOV both vertically and horizontally. So I would say 5.7K in 360 is equivalent of 1440P for a flat video with something like 25-50mm focal length.

So many of these markets bleed together, which is awesome and you'll probably have a lot of opportunity across the board! My specific focus (right now) is REP. One thing about this area, specifically, is that agents are looking for a one stop shop. You may offer 360s but there...

Ricoh Theta Z1 versus Matterport Pro2 3D Camera for Outdoor scans?

Paulo

4 yearsWingman (4339): I cannot comment on using a Z1 with Matterport. I have just never seen any reason to do it since I have a Pro2. As for using it to capture a 360 I believe the further you are from objects the more chance you have to make a 360 without any stitching errors. It is better to stay at least 50cm away from any object and that distance applies to a Pro2 as well.

8 yearsJonJ (1760): I agree with Douglas with regards to how this scan is possible. By my estimation, the camera is set to a height of only 3 ft 6 inches. The scan positions are also very close together. The third thing that makes this possible is the fact that all of the surfaces available are solid. This allows for sufficient structures to allow for correlation of scan points. Also important to note is the fact that the dollhouse view is very incomplete....

10 yearsBredeErickson (4): @DanSmigrod Temps were in the 20's and falling as I recall, it was pretty late in the day when i got to the back yard. I didn't experience any real problems with alignment but i worked the perimeter against the fence so that i had some structure for the Matterport to latch on to. I was outside for probably 30 minutes.

10 yearsJamie (2016): Vincent No link, I was just told by one o the matterport guys that floored in new York had done it. Www.floored.com I saw maybe 18 months ago that they had partnered up (a presentation they did together) I looked at floored to clean up the scans when it was the mesh only view. Recent matterport users might not remember that

10 yearsJohnBecker (388): Saul, Just this week, we got a way to define the starting point where a user enters a model. While the functionality you're talking about is theoretically possible, it doesn't exist just yet. The approach that occurs to me is to make the user aware of the dollhouse view, and how powerful it can be in navigating to different locations in the model.
