Sample 360˚ Panoramas & VR Tours  

Bayu Cottages, Amed Bali (LINK)

We were also commissioned by Bayu Cottages for a photo shoot of this newly remodeled hotel in Amed, Bali. And we also shot an aerial 360 and then 5 ground 360s. All 5 ground 360s were shot using the 360 mode of the PINE controller. I had to spend quite a bit of time working on some modifications for my Dynamic Perception's Stage R pan and tilt heads to get them to work properly with the automated 360 capability of PINE. The main problem is that the default attachments for connecting the tilt head to the pan head and then for attaching the camera to the tilt head only allow for very tiny adjustments for the nodal point - especially for me when shooting with my very large Tamron 15-30mm lens on my Nikon D750. However, once I added some extension brackets for both the pan and tilt heads, and did the fine-tuning to get the nodal point set correctly for the Tamron, the process is almost effortless!

As we often shoot luxury villas, I love this with PINE, creating 360s is totally hands-free. This is a very big deal when the camera position is in a very tight space and also when the tripod is actually set up in a water feature or pool (and therefore, we don't have to worry about ripples from manually moving around to create the 360).

I absolutely love this feature of the PINE controller and app!

Hi Rick,

This sounds fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this. We are very glad you can use PINE effectively with your Dynamic Perception setup for your photo shoots.

We would love to see some making-of shots of your setup if you have some. We can share them on our social media accounts with reference to your accounts and websites.

All the best,
Patrick
