Emoj1. Veer
2. Other apps
1. VeeR provide many in their app
1.a you can add your own image, logos or emoj
to make your own it must be on a square canvas and might need transparency which means save as PNG - see tips below
2. Other apps
we came across a cool FREE app by group Snow call ZEPETO
WHATS HOT
its makes a emoj of you on square canvas with transparency
    what's hot 1.make a cartoon character of ?? who ever is in the pic in seconds 2. go to the emoj page and see a hundred of emoj expressions of you
once an emoj face is made you can make the character do actions and interact with other users
IGNORE ALL THAT .. just go to emoj page Icon bottom right hand corner
the page will be full of your character with diff emoj
3. they are square canvas and transparent background
THIS MEANS THEY ARE READY TO GO, download as needed and load into VeeR
the emoj page also has a section to make your own - awesome
If want a full body (not just face) then use the main page, select change background and select and action then press the photo
you will then have to do the manual task of square canvas and transparency . see tips below
The Snow group are also listed in this page under section sections such as Photo effects and filters as their apps handle 2x1 and high res

File formatshould be default of the original file 2018.12 detected a problem with veer force changing the output to Png which blocks / prohibits the file to be recognised by various host sites reported in fan page https://www.facebook.com/RoundToItIn360Spherical/posts/521679041680372 shared into Veer think tank https://www.facebook.com/groups/1844451682270671/permalink/1966047213444450/ with the following comments / tests in response to queries Veer think tank member gary verified all ok in samsung so it appears to be IOS   ID CardBUTTONS: made some buttons to pin to my hat or shirt to catch the name in the pics
ID cards:
Human behaviour: If I take a pic sometimes i get a glean from 3 parties but if my female PA's (tourism Bangkok) take the shot it's most welcome .. hug
so I decided to try the idea of these ID cards which I carry on clear holder around my neck ..
SUCCESS: now people come up and ask if they can be in the photo .. lol
 The buttons were cheap to have made in Bangkok 40 baht each for 3 x
2019.07 we now wear Google T-Shirts and caps are next will add some pics of t-shirts soon we also display google on the selfie stick for courtesy to public and people come forward requesting to be in the pics for google maps - its cool Narrationas at June 2018 there is no option in Veer Editor
work around
2018.06
using app IOS clippycam (pay the money to remove watermark)
current resolution output 1280 x 640
offers a window to show your face while narrating over a photo or vid - you can size the box/shape and position anywhere on screen including off the screen
as the video quality is restricted 1st consider which image or vid to use ie, up close or or great detail as it will wash down
2018.06.10 IOS vid app Videocraft are currently doing a mod on their app to support 2 x 1 video format
their app has narration and fade between clips and music which will compliment veer editor
2018.06.21 added more content in 360 apps - Video Trailers
some of the apps have narration
TripodsThree is menb: it's 270 cm not 2700 (will replace image soon)
 I have several tripods which are called on depending on the situation
Obviously monopod (1 pole) is the preferred by you risk the threat of it rolling over in wind and ouch to the camera
having lost 2 cameras to rig roll in the wind and I do not want to buy / carry weights I've practice the art of using the selfie stick for both horizontal and vertical, refer section below under "Best tripod on the go"
1. small: carry in pants pocket - mounted ready to go
you can search and there are many, my experience is Benro is by far the strongest, most reliable and good fittings
collapsed its only 19.50cm - extends to 90cm
this is ideal for hold in your hand but a little to small to place on the ground for a standard shot
I will either hold it above me head bracing the pole against my body or switch the the medium
often I can find a table or chair to use which will be washed out at nadir when I place a logo over the nadir
2. Medium: very light weight and quick to snap into position
 3. Longest: 2.7 mtr carbon fibre selfie pole
has standard 1/4 thread and go pro connector also thread on the bottom to mount to ???? lol
gotta try this on my drone .. lol
 Selfie Pole 2.7mtr - ebay price and specs
Risk Management: slightly worried if the pole will break so I'm going to try to connect a length of fishing line to the camera to my hand .. just a thought
I'm also worried that hanging this over a bridge or rooftop I should have a safety line on the camera .. its comfort for me and the public

udpate 2020 
SNAKE POD
hang off your arm or body parts or a tree or over head limb of sorts
  Best on the gothe selfie tripod stick fits in your pants pocket / purse / man bag with camera ready to go approx 90 cm long the biggest worry is lightweight and rig blowing over in the wind or tackled by passing pedestrians so brace it against your body (hold your breath) you can also point the stick straight out and the pic will self level and the tripod will vanish in production / stitching nadir: if held above your head: I tried adding logo buttons to my cap but its not always clear so I use Veer logo (I share them here or veer emoj in their free editor app
Nadir: if stick held out horizontal
generally it vanishes during stitching otherwise I apply a square logo example - fbk post im holding the camera on selfie stick
