| OK so we are using three sixty.tours more in recent times to show different 3D tours in one location. For example a School which has more than one building. I need a small and relatively cheap drone which I can easily use to get quality aerial shots Can anyone recommend one please Thanks in advance |

| The new DJI Mini 2 now shoots RAW + jpg, 360 spherical photos, and 4k @ 24, 25, or 30 frames. This new little drone also picked up the Occusync 2.0 which greatly improves image transmission I picked up the new Mini 2 as a "B" drone to my Mavic 2 Pro. Base drone w/controller is $449 (US) and the fly more kit runs $599 |

| @3dshowcaseuk @lilnitsch I also picked up the DJI Mini 2 (the same day that lilnitsch did) we both are crazy early adopters. My previous drone was DJI Phantom 3. Waiting and waiting for Phantom 5... Anyway, I had so much fun with the little drone and actually shot several listings with it I then decided that I would get a Mavic Mini 2 pro to go with it. I completely agree that this is a "B" drone but it can do some pretty good work. The only draw back as I see it for 360 pano's is one must do the processing of the RAW images in PTgui. It's really not that bad but be prepared that those will not be in drone/camera processing. I tried to do it in Lightroom and it did a weird thing on the Nadir. It was probably me but I had to get these up by the next morning so I didn't piddle. @lilnitsch I had hoped I could use my smart controller with the Mavic Mini 2 but I didn't see it on the choices. Perhaps it will be added. DJI really sets us up for wanting all three: Mavic Mini 2, Mavic Air 2 and Mavic 2 Pro. What a company  .I can't wait to drop 3K on the Mavic 3 pro with the micro 2/3 camera. LOL In any case all of these drones are great and can and will pay for themself if given the chance. First pano with leading 360 from Mavic Mini 2. https://app.cloudpano.com/tours/bw7xkntD9z BTW, this was this agents very 1st listing and it had been on the market as a FSBO for about a year with crapy photos. After this and the stills were put up she had 7 offers and it sold for full price in a week. Just saying how powerful what we do for people can be. https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-cPGj72/ The drone stills were from the Mavic 2 Mini in the gallery. Chuck |

| @lilnitsch I am so sorry you have to live up there. I have a shoot at 2pm today. It will be 68 degrees and partly sunny. Trying to decide on how thick of short sleeve shirt to wear. As always your rock. I learn something here every day. Chuck |

| @PickChuck Are you keeping your Zillow 3D home tour Panos? You'd be surprised what a quick once over in Photoshop or Lightroom does with the panos (even on the lesser V or SC2) And this happens to us all:  Keep images on camera is in the Zillow app settings:  |

| @lilnitsch I am and I did see that. This was a completely free shoot for this agent and she was at the verge of not making rent. I was going to replace it with one of my Zillow panos or use content aware and get rid of me but the listing has already sold and will close next week. You have good eyes. I always appreciate you sir. Just posting it to highlight the Mavic mini’s 2 abilities. Also, on a completely different note will test the Halo light on a shoot today. Can’t post test shots of my house because I need to clean it up. If I did I would be living with you .On second thought maybe Costa Rico needs another Real Estate photographer / Musician Chuck |

I am not really hip on the little shoulder bag so, I ordered a hard case. I have this same manufactures case for my Mavic 2 Pro. These GPC cases are pretty rock solid. |

| @lilnitsch You must be watching me on camera or reading my emails. I ordered the Mavic 2 pro bundle with smart controller and for $49 they added the GPC case. I had had one many years ago with another drone and forgotten just how good it was. I went to their website and pre-ordered one for the Mini 2 .Maybe we are brothers from another mother. LOL Lots of wind today as a cold front blows through. Probably no flying today. Cheers, Chuck |

| Here is a little shoot that I used the Halo light on. The agent was in a big hurry to go and UBER so I didn't AB with and without a light. Please see what you think. I'll try to do one with and without the next time I get a home with a lockbox and time. Also, the other lights should be in soon. Looking forward to trying them. https://app.cloudpano.com/tours/EiXbkETR7t Cheers, Chuck |

| I found this YouTube this morning Titled: "DJI Mini 2 for Professional Work". Thought I would share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHtDMdr8S7A I have done one shoot with it and feel the same way as OriginaldoBo does. It is really quiet and does a decent job. Or should I say sellable job. Might be a good add-on for photographers with better drones as a backup or a first drone for those just entering the flying world and adding to their offerings. Cheers, Chuck |

| @PickChuck It's the little things. I have a shoot this afternoon & I have to call a FSBO here in about an hour for the scheduling the shoot of their home. It's currently looking like Turkey day is the only day this week that I will not have a job booked |
