the host site is slow to load a big file but once open it's awesome, best viewed in desktop for detail

or view in smartphone phone for VR virtual reality effect, rotate screen or turn around and pinch zoom

we can / will load them into other hosts sites

other sites have tricks for changing display of the image, small planet, mirror ball etc

other apps let you modify the image into video or add logos

right click to copy the link or click to see the image and copy the url link

the hangar site does not let you download a hardcopy but there are work arounds

you can paste the link into your social media channels

Options

1. if already in social media , share it

2. to share from the host (hangar 360 site)..  click the link to display image in the host site
top left corner should be a hangar icon - click on it to see share options which for now is only facebook

we might keep the original photos (approx 23) and therefore able to make our own 360 with photo stitching software with further option to add images / logos

19/7/2017

we have taken delivery of photo stitching software that allows 

1. adding logos and images that infuse into the spherical photo

2. interactive elements (html5) that allow links within the photo

we are testing now and will update in a week

the directly allows you to sort by any column, we are testing a idea to show screen shots by zone 

example 

we have several DJI Mavic Pro drones, as i get time I share info such as Accessories used and mod's (changes) in the page Mavic Pro

Q: about 360 Spherical images

Q: why use Hangar

A: it's fully automatic, start the app (hard close all others) and press go, copy pics to device (ph) and upload to cloud, 10 to 30 mins later you have a stitched 360 which can be shared

Q: download the image

A: currently (Dec 2017) not available, however (hush hush) you can download from fbk once shared into fbk but the quality is less. You also have all original pics so you can manually stitch the pic ...  a good stitch software is noted in this page... its not free but its worth the money as it has extras that the free app do no.

Q: add logos, comments 

once you have downloaded the image (not so easier) you can then use many diff apps to add stuff to the image

app: Enlight is a create photo editor to add words, labels images (logos) 

Q:  examples of 360 host sites

Q: best apps for 360 spherical

BEST SKY BACKGROUND APP - SKYLAB

we have designed a cradle mount support attachments:- 

1st time I used Hangar 360 it was an anxiety attack, once I set the instructions the drone race into the sky at lightning speed (panic attack) 

Now I rarely instigate a 360 by starting with the app, I most always use another app, typically DJI and switch in once I've found the ideal spot. 

To switch you must do a force switch (shut the other app down completely (not switch apps but force close) 

ok so lets 

before I fly

I use awesome app "Sun Surveyor" it's not cheap but worth every cent

3D Compass,  Map, Live View, Ephements, Street View,

I use the app to find a good launch location near the target, check distances, and when are the blue and golden hours (photography)

I can now plan so much on the phone before going to the target site which relieves further anxious decisions 

ok back to droning 

use main app (dji or litchi) to get the bird in the air and into position

force close and open hangar 360

press the launch button, receive option to start at the existing height or the default height

a 5 second countdown begins 

1st photo is always pointing North

you can trick the app by clicking to sport mode and back and re start (sometimes it works)

otherwise you can use the awesome photo stitcher Panorama Studio  approx US 80 - buy it which allows you to change the start view and add logos or try free online Photo stitcher

after the last photo (23) is taken the app will take about 10 seconds to return controls - option to continue fly

I then decide on the next task (more pics / video or return) and make sure I know which way it's facing then move forward while force close and re open the preferred light app being DJI or Litchi 

You get the option to copy the pics to the phone at the time of completing the photos otherwise leave until you have landed or later when back to base

to copy the pics from the drone to the phone

open the app, go to gallery and see the Icon for photos on device, click to copy.

once the photos are on your phone you need wifi to upload to the hanger server

the processing time is 15 mins to 5 hrs (traffic) - on average its 30 mins

Photo quality:  will depend on the usual photograph elements 

I have specifically included height and time in the table below

the later night shots struggle and are auto adjusted by the hangar server, you have the original pics so you can do your own stitch 

share options are shown

about the hangar a/c

there is no profile, if you lose the app and re instal all links are lost so you need to record them (as i have down below)

if you load them into facebook you can download a copy of the stitched image, then you can use Panorama Studio to change the start view and add logos as well as create interactive html images with links (awesome)

Best photo stitching software, same page has info about 360 spherical photos and host sites

Max distance 

my experience is max 500 mtrs, after that Hangar 360 stalls 

 

This info has nothing to do with the commercial services offered on Hangar app site

this info is estimate only of what we have gathered from several commercial operators as a guide 

Produce photos

depends on the time of the day, sunrise, mid day or sunset are the ideal times 

Height creates perspective 

approx $100 per hour including travel time

approx: 3 shots per hour 

Process photos

automation:  approx 3 shots per hour includes link and a hardcopy

app auto starts pointing North (confirmed with Hangar in May 2017)
