Description
Full 360 Panoramas
THIS APP REQUIRES A CLIP-ON FISHEYE LENS.
Use theVRkit fish-eye lens to capture 360 Spherical Panoramas. You can buy it on www.theVRkit.com to produce high resolution full 360 panoramas (with floors and ceilings) to create 360 virtual tours.
Built-in ultra wide lenses are indeed wide, but they only capture 2/3 of the vertical field of view and leave blind spots on top/bottom.

Just clip the lens and make a full turn. Multiple images are taken, and stitched instantly on your phone, no internet connection needed. The result is amazing.

theVRkit fisheye lens was specially selected for its field of view, clarity and sharpness. We have tested nearly all the lenses of the market, our lens will give you the best output.

An optional electronic rotator allows for perfect captures. You can get professional quality VR images at the press of a button.

Share the result on Facebook 360 or view it in VR Cardboard mode.

Based on the technology of our award-winning app DMD Panorama (10M+ downloads).

A detailed instruction manual is available in the faq section on the website theVRkit.com.

Quick setup (check the faq in the app - top-left icon - for detailed setup):

Manual mode (with the lens and without the rotator):
- open the app and select the right options (rotator off) in the top-left corner
- make sure you use the proper lens (180S/T or 160M). You can use third-party lenses for testing, but use our lenses for perfect results
- remove your phone cover for best results
- clip theVRkit fish-eye lens on the rear-camera lens, the screen should show a sharp centered circle with black corners. If the circle is not sharp or centered, adjust the lens position
- hold the phone vertical, tap on the screen to take first shot, start rotating slowly either to the right or left, wait for the symbols (Yin Yang) to snap to take next shot
- keep rotating to complete a full turn, the 360 panorama should appear instantly when you finish your turn

Rotator mode (with the lens and the rotator):
- open the app and select the right options (rotator on) in the top-left corner

- screw the rotator on the provided mini-tripod or a standard one
- put the phone on the rotator and screw tightly the phone holder
- turn the rotator on, it shows a blue led. If the app does not connect automatically, check you have turned on Bluetooth mode in your phone. There is no need to pair the device or to use the rotator buttons

You need this and the Pro kit for quality 360 VR

Download and you will be surprised how good and easy this app. You need they pro kit to get excelente results. I’m using with iPhone 12Pro . First 360 VR I did was a 13 acres of wedding venues, the app and the Pro kit really worked with ease and delivered excellent results. Bluetooth of the rotator conectes fast every time. Love the build in HDR bracketing and processing the 3 shots for you to get the best result in challenging lighting situation! Most of profesional 360 VR camera struggles in mixed lighting. You’re able to see your 360 VR instantly right on your phone. Also share it on many social media instantly. Upload your equirectangular 360 to almost any editing platform for additional enriching and to creat a full high quality tour. Get the pro kit from they store, the kit developed to give you the best result. Customer service also 5 stars!

Super easy And Super affordable

Love this app and must use with the VRkit. Rivals the best and highend models. Would prefer to do multiple shots in a room for a more immersive experience but super the way it is. Highly recommended !!!

Not Good

Not even CLOSE to a good pano. Stitching is terrible, WAY off. Deleted.

Fast, Easy and Affordable Spherical Panoramic Solution

This is a low budget solution for creating spherical panoramas. The final image quality is OK, but the real advantages are speed, ease of use and affordability. This app is designed to work with “theVRkit”hardware that is less than $100. (If you already have a Tripod, and a way to attach your iPhone to the Tripod, you might not even need the more expensive motorized base.) The idea is that a fish eye lens is clipped over the camera and the camera is spun around a center point – the nodal point. The app takes several pictures as the camera rotates 360 degrees. With the motorized base, when synched with Bluetooth, this done in seconds... with brief pauses for each picture to be taken. (Looks like the pause is to steady the shot and reduce camera shake.) The “stitching” of the images is done in the iOS device and it’s done right away. That’s one of the strengths of this setup, as no Internet access is required. It’s fast and the results are amazing... unless you’re a fussy photographer. The quality is good, but it’s not superb. This is a low budget solution. If you’re expecting an iPhone with a clip-on fish eye lens, to beat setups that cost thousands of dollars, you’re likely to be disappointed. There are problems though. The motorized iPhone mount may have trouble maintaining a Bluetooth connection. If that happens, pressing a button on the device will spin it manually. I think that’s what I like about this setup. It needs to be properly setup and aligned, but it’s not terribly unforgiving. A big problem is with the Dermandar logo being added to the final image. The benefit of theVRkit is speed. The Dermandar logo, while a nice looking logo, is not my logo. To edit that out is a lot of extra work. (Fortunately, the update notes state “remove our logo on zenith” as something that’s being worked on.) Also, when moving the images off your iOS device, be careful not to lose quality. Depending on the method of transport, a much lower resolution could be sent instead.

Excellent!!

I’ve been using Dermandar apps for the past 6 years, specifically their panorama one which is one of the best and easiest pano apps to use. I’ve also purchased the high res IAP in it which is totally worth it. I was really excited to to see theVRkit app which certainly doesn’t disappoint either. The app is really easy to use and quickly creates cool VR images. Great job by the dev team! I already own a fish eye lens so buying another isn’t feasible for me but I would definitely recommend buying their products. The app supports fish eye lenses of 160° and 180°. The one I have is 170° which doesn’t stitch the images very well, so I hope support for it will come in an update, even as an IAP. This is definitely a company that makes quality apps that are well worth the cost.

Amazing technology

My friend recommended theVRkit Bluetooth rotator and fisheye lens from Amazon - that is how I found out about the app. I was blown away by how easy it is to use, and by the quality of the output. I have an iPhone 6s and I am getting 32MP VR images. I am in the market for a new house, and the navigation in all directions definitely facilitates remembering the small details and getting a better feel for the place. Highly highly recommend.
