 WGAN Question of the Day (All) Question of the Day>: Which bubble level do you use with the Matterport Pro3 Camera?

| I assume @HarlanHambright and EMILIANO that you then shorten a leg or two to level the camera? My preference was to get a bracket created to hold a large spirit level. This is then married with a tri-leveller and a riser to facilitate levelling the camera in a matter of seconds. Legs only get shortened for staircases and steep inclines. Oliver  |

| @Gladsmuir Which tri-leveller and a riser do you use (and with which tripod)? Enjoy your weekend, Dan |

| Hi @DanSmigrod The Manfrotto 190 tripod Fanotec tri leveller The level bracket and riser elements are a bit tricky as the former was manufactured using 3D printing for me and the riser is a couple of components. I'll investigate and revert. Oliver |

| My technical question to all of you is do you level every scan? With normal scanners since we are talking point clouds that have 3d data I can assign the anchor point and all scans will attach to that one point cloud. I know with Matterport the first scan is crucial to start the model so I am very diligent to make sure the cameras long axis is as close to as parallel to the wall and the camera is a level as possible or parallel to the ground plane as possible. If you look in the capture app you can edit all scans except scan "1". So if scan "1" is the anchor point does any other scans have to have the camera level. I think the best practice is having it close but I do not spend the time to level each scan unless I am on an extreme slope, but I think Matterport software would bring it in on the final model. Just my thoughts and maybe a test project is needed to see? | ||

| I glance at each scan to verify the bubble is somewhere in the circle, not necessarily centered in it. To address an earlier question, I merely move the legs around a little to ballpark level the camera and not mess with extending/shortening legs like one does for stairways. Takes no time at all to speak of. I did do a rough rest once. My 250 was pretty off level and I kept the scan to check. The processed scan was indeed caddywampus (which I of course disabled in editing). | ||

| Hi everyone, I level each scan, and it's done in 1/2/3 seconds. With the Matterport tripod it's very simple. E. |

| @Wingman&@Emiliano If you use a dolly how do you manage? |

| @Gladsmuir level once and done, I only dismount for stairs. But in most cases when using the dolly try and do stairs first so that once shot the dolly is mounted and not removed until I am done. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Gladsmuir I barely use a dolly and consider it useful only for big spaces where I can move it between furniture. Usually it will be a leveled floor anyway and I will level the whole system when I place it on a dolly. |
