    Another interеsting stuff (not pano)

    for attachment, currently there is a servo that is in the center for pitch stabilization, that connects to another piece for bank stab.... not very ideal. all the weight is on the servo's themselves.. hence a big re-design, this was more a proof of concept to make sure I could stitch a 360 video... waiting to do a re-design that incorporates the AlexMos brushless gimble controller.  (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1815204), wish I had more time to dedicate to the project currently, but should have a working system given 2-3 months I hope..

    3692607147?profile=original3D view of camera rig... I'll start a new thread once I have more time to continue work on the system.

    6x gopro hero3

    This was an early prototype, the camera's are now no longer in a portrait orientation, due to rolling shutter.

    horizontal configuration, allows pretty seamless stitching, still working out exposure/sync issues but

    they will be taken care of next few months...

    Very cool video.  Love the lava and volcano images.

    That's awesome!

    Its almost certainly a palnon lens of some sort: Either the one luke has posted or similar to these.

    I've been producing similar footage with an old sony bloggie though without the same vertical range; and have written a core image unit for Mac OSX to 'flatten' the output from video output live - I've been wanting to get it in the air for ages but its ended up being used for another project. If anyone wants the code I'd be happy to post it, you certainly need some sort of 'framing' like the above video has - watching the skyline from a flattened version would be vomit inducing for sure :)

    There's a single vertical seam opposite the helicopter and some areas are sharp while others are extremely pixelated. Based on those things it looks like they used a mirror ball like this one.

    In the past I've used them for photography and those kinds of artifacts were typical in the final shots.

    Yes, the video is a whole other dimension. 

    Ladybug, very interesting but probably not for us hobbyists unless we win the lottery.

    I was just thinking, 4x Gopros filming HD at 30fps, one in each direction. (Perhaps 3 would be enough).

    Extract stills from the video streams, Thats 4 streams of 30 jpg's each second. Then let the software stich those together, 4 at a time into one jpg for each frame. Then take those 30 jpgs for each second and paste together into a video stream. Voila'?

    Might not work in reality...I'm tempted to look into the concept using what cams I have at hand. I can probably muster up 2-3 GoPros from friends! 

    This will take some looking into...
