coming soon
I have been putting together tutorial videos on shooting 360° videos and panoramic photographs.
Part 1 covers your options for the available cameras and drones to do this and Part 2 goes into detail on the editing and delivery methods for your finished footage.
Stay tuned as when the first one is ready in a few days, it will be announced here!
Part 2 should then follow a week or so later at most.
