I've been more than happy with the resolution using the 12mm, but really want to try a few with the 45mm some day. It does have pause ability which might be the best solution for your situation. I will say I agree that it's the only option with the Inspire1P. and failures! GeoffĪutopilot allows you to set the 'settle' time (not their wording but.) I've worked with it at 1 second without any issues on calm days. This beast is rock-steady in hover, but that's another story. My M200 - for change - performed pano perfectly under Litchi control, naturally with yawing aircraft due to not-foldable landing gear. Somehow they managed this drifting issue, which appears to be typical for Inspire 1 generation in pano mode. I'm about to conclude that indeed Autopilot seems to be the one and only app able to execute panoramic sequence successfully. Keep experimenting, PM me if you're in doubt with Autopilot.

With standard 15mm lens, however, you'll need much less pictures to stitch 360x180 spherical image. To do it I'm using relatively new TB48 battery, giving me enough time to reach the destination, shoot the sequence and come back home with some juice left. In most cases Autopilot delivers just fine, wind or not, but this amount of pictures is challenging battery capacity. I'm shooting really hi-res panoramas, stitching average 70 images taken with 25mm lens. I'm about to conclude that indeed Autopilot seems to be the one and only app able to execute panoramic sequence successfully. Hope all goes well for you and good luck. Am trying Autopilot at moment and have mixed results largely due to the relatively steep learning curve. I also had to do quite a lot of post work to cover up stitching errors (PTGui). I switched to aircraft rotation and this worked but gimbal rotation would have had less parallax issues. For some reason this failed short of 360 degrees. Hi Matthew, i’ve used Litchi in Pano mode with some success. On one job I did notice the wind drift but I flew again on a less windy day. One other function which did not work for me on Litchi was the gimbal 360 rotation.

They (Litchi) told me that this is known issue due to some Inspire1/Phantom 3 fw bug (!), which I found hard to believe. For some reason she drifts with the wind between each row. Unfortunately Litchi is not able to hold Inspire 1 steady in hover during pano sequence shooting. I hope our friendly admins will be able to get some info at the source if such feature is considered for future development. Said that - and considering growing popularity of still panoramic photography - it will be nice to get that option for Inspire 1/2 class drones in DJI Go/Go 4 apps. While Autopilot is offering truly advanced and customizable set of pano shooting parameters, focusing and exposure meterings must be done from within DJI Go app first. Although I had some success shooting automated panos with Autopilot app (the one and only 3rd party app able to control Inspire 1 pano mode in relatively reliable way), the process of switching from DJI Go app to Autopilot with the bird hovering is awkward and time consuming. Such task requires aproximately 6 rows of 12 RAW images each, impossible to perform manually with single battery. At this moment of history X5 camera is still good enough to do just that. I'm trying to employ Zenmuse X5 camera on my Inspire to shot high resolution 360x180 panoramas with 25 mm lens.
