Pano with the MA2 Drone
I am working my way through some of the features of my new Mavic Air 2 drone, and the capability of capturing quite usable panoramas might prove to be one of those useful features.
Here is my bit of pseudo-suburbia miles from the nearest city. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-TXTSBfg/0/44109409/5K/DJI_0005-5K.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

Even though I can’t clearly read the letters on it, I can still clearly see the stop sign in the middle of the photo where the two cars are when I zoom way in. Amazing. No still yet? |

With a ½ inch sensor the low light performance is a bit too noisy for me in the shadows. I tried a dusk/twilight flight, for that the video was OK, but the stills had everything below the horizon in deep, noisy shadow. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I might do better with HDR or stacked exposure bracket. but realisticall, the sensor is just not up to low light stills. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-GCKKmPt/0/d504f81a/5K/DJI_0002-5K.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

(Obscure reference to a controversery from the past.) Damn! “The walking panorama” we haven’t heard from that individual in years. I could be wrong, but somehow the name “MacDonald" comes to mind, and at one stage he use the name of his sailboat as his posting nym. I guess that the MA2 produces more of a “hovering panorama" than a “flying" one. It uses a GPS fix to maintain a stationary hover initially aimed at the center reference frame area. Then it starts to shoot a programmed matrix of frames around the aim point, all stitched together by the system, and saved to the Micro SD card in the drone. It is quite strange to watch the display on the phone connected to the controller as its aim moves precisely to capture each frame in the matrix, all without any input in the controller. The example above, was SOOC without any post processing on my part. -- Regards, Savageduck |
