360 interior photography

[EspressoJunkie]

Does anyone have any experience of doing any interior 360 photography? The virtual tour type of thing.

Am I right in thinking a panoramic type head (nodal ninja?) and a fisheye are required?

Im using m43 so the obvious choice of lens would appear to be the Samyang 7.5 mm, but I'm not sure about heads.

I've no issue using a cheaper copy of a nodal ninja etc especially seeing as the whole set up would be pretty light.

Anyone tried anything like this before?

Hi
I have some experience.........I have a Ninja M1L, but that's carrying a D800 and 16mm fisheye. A lighter head would probably suffice a m43 body and lens. I'm not up on current Nodal ninja models.
The software is another thing you'll have to learn, PTGui seems very popular for stitching although I think Panotour? seemed to be better for adding links etc to specific points in the tour. I downloaded some photos that another photographer had taken (with permission) to practise the stitching.
This link http://www.vrwave.com/panoramic-lens-database/ gives you a good guide on the number of shots etc for particular lenses.
Here is a link to how to use PTGui http://www.hdrphotographypro.org/using-ptgui-stitching/
Hope this helps a little

This is great thanks.

I'm looking into it because it seems to be an area that (at least near me) doesn't have a huge amount of peolle offering it as a service. With FB now being able to use 360 photos I figured it could be a way to make a bit of money without having huge time / costs involved.
