Aerial Panoramics

[3rw1n]

I made some aerial virtual tours with FPP.

aerial virtual tours in France (http://www.bluephotographie.com/visites_virtuelles/1-visites-virtuelles/21-visites-virtuelles-aeriennes.html)

I'd be glad to have some feedback from you guys.

Please tell me what you like or don't like about those tours so I can improve them.

Thanks a lot,

Erwin

Hey 3rw1n,

that really is impressive!

Just a question: Do you use a RC helicopter to this? Which one? What's your equiment? I am particulary interested in this, because I am thinking to start with aerial panography here in Germany as well. But since I have no clue about helicopters and so on, I'm just trying to find out which ones are suitable for that, how much it approcimately costs altogether to get started and so on... (Besides, I am of course aware that it requires A LOT of practice before you can even think of attaching your camera to a heli..)

So I'd be grateful if you'd like to share information about your equiment :-)

Best regards,
Ph.

c'est magnifique !!!

Great pano's! as a kite aerial photographer, I know how difficult it is to take aerial pano's. But I think Erwin used an RC heli. I think this is the only solution to take such a pano's. Or am I wrong erwin ?

Thanks to you 2 for your comments.

I use a helium inflated blimp and a RC remote controlled 350D w/ Sigma 8mm.
Stitching can be a serious issue as the nodal point can move a lot regarding to how much wind there is.

These are fantastic Erwin.

Ah, I never heard of that possibility before... Is that something like this (http://academic.emporia.edu/aberjame/airphoto/blimp/blimp.htm)?
What kind of RC remote control do you use, if I may ask?

Oh, I can image that :-)

Thanks for telling,

Check this out.
I have no idea how much these would be.
I like the idea but I would have no where to
store something like this.
