| Hi All, My Recommendations If you are going to sell Google Street View "Blue Line" creation and updates, get the Labpano Pilot Era instead of the Pilot One because the Pilot Era: 1. has the GPS module within the camera unit (avoids the challenges of the Pilot One + GPS Module connection) 2. 7200mAh removable high capacity battery (3.5 hours versus 2 hours with the Pilot One built-in battery 3. the Pilot Era mounted to a rooftop car mount will be a much safer experience than the Pilot One + Pilot One GPS unit Buy Now ✓ Labpano Pilot One (064GB) $1,199 | Buy from Labpano ✓ Labpano Pilot One (128GB) $1,249 | Buy from Labpano | Buy from Adorama ✓ Labpano Pilot One (512GB) $1,499 | Buy from Labpano ✓ Labpano Pilot One GPS Module | Buy from Labpano | Buy from Adorama ✓ Labpano Pilot Era (512GB) $2,799 | Buy from Labpano | Buy from Adorama Do you have questions about using the Labpano One One + Pilot One GPS Module to shoot Google Street View? Best, Dan P.S. Thanks to Labpano for sending me the Pilot One and Pilot One GPS module to beta test and to report about to the WGAN Community. |

| Sooo, @DanSmigrod I am thinking I might purchase the Pilot One based upon Your review. I want a camera that is "good enough" and that can do GSV with an ez work flow. As much as I would like the Era, I don't see me spending almost $3K for it, as I think it would be better to spend the extra on an Insta360 Pro 2. Although I haven't really seen any first hand case studies of the Insta360 Pro 2. I want something that can stream as well as take panos. I played around with a Teradek Vidiu Go streaming unit with my Blackmagic BMPC 4K and I think streaming used in the right way could be an underutilized tool in Real Estate. As in something better than the agent using their phone to stream FB live. I understand there is an issue with the GPS. Based upon your experience so far, would you recommend the Pilot? I don't think the QC8 is a solution at this point. I have read some reviews that state the Pilot's have a soft focus issue. To be clear, I am not asking you if it's the best camera out there. I am just trying to decide on whether or not to wait for a Z1 or buy a Pilot. I guess in a nutshell is the GPS mounting issue a deal breaker or something that could be overcome? The question is open to anyone that has experience with the Pilot. I have uploaded images to GSV using the Insta360 One X and one like to expand my business into Blue line. |

| @homefinders3d Unfortunately, the Pilot One GPS Module is scary. As I posted to this WGAN Forum discussion: ✓ Labpano Pilot One + GPS Module + Backpack = Google Street View Blue-Line Quote: Originally Posted by DanSmigrod As you can see, even Labpano says do NOT use the GPS module attached to the camera. I am sure that Labpano will release a second generation - completely re-engineered Pilot One GPS module, but, as I wrote: 1. I would not use the Pilot One GPS unit on the roof of my car 2. I would not use the Pilot One GPS unit on a motorcycle (if I had one) 3. I will no longer use the Pilot One GPS unit attached to the Pilot One for hiking Yes. The workaround is to use a USB-C cable between the Pilot One GPS module and the Pilot One camera. And, I can not imagine that Labpano is shipping GPS modules until the next generation design. As much as I was routing for the Labpano Pilot One - Transcript: Pilot One is a Contender for Real Estate Photographers - I would say pay more for the Pilot Era camera. The workflow for Pilot One / Pilot Era is insanely great. It just works as expected and completely eliminates many post production steps of other cameras. I recommend studying the following chart. The workflow will save a ton of time and time is money. For clarification, the Pilot One is better than "good enough" - unfortunately, if you want to do Google Street View with the Pilot One, you will need a Pilot One GPS module (and I simply can not imagine that Labpano will ship you one anytime in the near future.) BTW, the livestreaming of the Pilot One is awesome. Again, just works as expected. That said, you'll want an external audio solution.
