I'm thinking about getting official, getting my part 107 license. Does anyone have opinions about places to train for it? It looks like Pilot Institute has a course for $159. RemotePilot101 has one for $179 with a widely available 30% coupon, so... I guess that'd only be $125? Pretty good...

Agreed

Oh that is really nice and cozy, the pano. And the tiny planet is crazy looking!

This is a really positive review of the Master Airscrew props for Neo. Feels like it might be worth dropping the $15!

One more Neo panorama -- this is literally nothing but a parking lot. The parking lot was mostly empty when I started flying around but there happened to be an even there and it filled with cars while I was there. Just for the heck of it I tried doing a pano. I took three rows of pics, one...

That'd be great - I can upload the original TIF. Will DM.

Thanks! One thing that's a bit of a bummer is that the sky cuts off very low. I completely forgot to tilt the gimbal up and get more sky in, as I'd intended to. Luckily the sky is so monochromatic it's not that noticeable.

whoo, yeah, I can't imagine dropping $375 on a stitcher, but it sounds like you get a lot for your money.

I went out today and did another Neo photosphere -- posted it in the thread in the user photos section. It was SUCH A PAIN trying to get Hugin to put that thing together in an at all acceptable fashion. Just beat my head against it for a couple hours, trying different things. In the end what...

Sharing another 360 panorama shot on the Neo! https://kuula.co/post/hYFjs

For the heck of it I decided to use the neo to take a pano of my messy basement from a height of about 4 feet. I took about 45 pictures. I didn't use a system of taking pictures in the cardinal directions systematically like I do sometimes, I just tried to get overlap by eyeball. My first...

Fine, DJI, just open a vein and bleed all my money away!!

Oh that's very clever!

What I *want* is an automated way to take the photos. Having the drone stitch them for you is fine and all but I don't care that much and am happy to do it myself. But they can't really sell people on the feature unless the drone stitches the panos itself, and that is probably more than they...

Yes, this is a really incredible image. Even more than most photospheres -- because it's such a close-up shot, and so clear and high resolution! -- it puts you right there. How many photos did it take to make that?
