X-Star Series Small Parts Kit
The Autel Robotics X-Star series small parts replacement kit comes with gimbal pins (2), gimbal dampeners (4) , landing gear feet (4), one wiring harness, and one motor wrench.
True. It should be possible to get the bird to loosely follow the contour of a slope Without having to constantly adjust the altitude manually.
It's absolutely needed for spherical panoramas. Even 13° up from horizontal would be enough. DJI offers a full 30° up at all times, and uses 13° up on their built-in spherical pano mode, takes 26 images, and stitches them in the camera into a 13MB spherical panorama in 60 seconds total from start to finish, while preserving the original images for more detailed stitching. EVO is sadly stuck at horizontal only, as the maximum gimbal elevation.
You are completely missing the point. It isn't about the automation of the spherical pano. It's about the fact that you cannot create a true 360x180 spherical pano when the camera cannot be elevated above the horizontal. It is a physical limitation of the EVO gimbal. If your EVO subject won't fit into the top of the frame while the gimbal is horizontal, you have no choice but to ascend until it does, losing one of the most dynamic types of spherical panos where scrolling up in the image reveals the top of a spire from well below the top taken on any other drone, like a DJI drone, where you simply elevate the gimbal above horizontal, as necessary, to include the top, without ascending.Like I said above, adding anything to the EVO takes resources and how much of a return on it will they end up getting from their customer bank. Right now Autel is focused on what will make them a profit. They struggle to update their Apps as the man power is just not there so wishing for more autonomous features like 360 Panos might be a while in coming.
Its a nice option but not needed, I have been doing 360 pano's for years manually and have a tutorial on here someplace. People are just unwilling to learn something new.
Apparently, we are both saying the same thing. I have no doubt that the EVO's inability to elevate the gimbal is, in fact, a physical hardware limitation, that cannot be altered by any software or FW change. Where we disagree is that you seem to think that spherical panos where the gimbal cannot be elevated are worth the trouble. True spherical panos, where the gimbal is elevated above the horizontal are the only ones I have ever had any interest in. I could crop them into an EVO horizontal view and below, but that would lose the best parts of my spherical panos. More is always better!
Indeed. The Anafi, with its true 90° gimbal elevation requires no cloning whatsoever to fill in the ceiling. Usually, the top above the field of view from a 30° or even a 13° elevation above horizontal is inconsequential, so a cloned in sky ceiling hole works just fine. The Mavic 2 does the necessary ceiling cloning/content-aware in the camera, and saves the completed automated stitch to the microSD card.LOL
Well most people will take short cuts to make a true 360 pano but it can be done in Photo shop and some practice. One of the reasons I like my Anafi is for the way it produces get panos. It takes 42 photos and stitches in App in under a minute depending on your phone or tablet.
Thanks for clarifying. Is this download designed to be done during the flight or only after you have landed? The beauty of the M2P DJI spherical pano feature is that it is able to be done on the camera in flight, with a decent ceiling clone, plus taking all the 26 necessary 20MB original images, all in less than a minute total per pano, without needing to download the images. I can create as many as 8 panos in a single flight, and still have 14 minutes to fly in between them, and back home, and all 8 completed panos are ready to use on the microSD card as soon as I land, along with all the original 20MB images for a professional 75MB image stitch on a desktop, for even greater detail. What desktop program are you using for your web outputs of the panos? I use PanoramaStudio Pro 3.0 and PTGui.
Makes sense. It would be way too consumptive of bandwidth to do it over the air. 42 images seems excessive, even with the ceiling included. What algorithm do they use for shooting coverage? The M2 shoots three rows of 8 images, plus two straight down at 90° to each other, and it alternates up and down gimbal elevation to minimize gimbal movement between shots, as it yaws among the 8 positions, taking 3 shots at each . So, down, then up, up, yaw 45°, down, down, yaw 45°, up, up, etc..
