Interactive 360 Degree Drone Flying | Ricoh Theta S

Something a little different and kind of special from me. Here is an interactive 360 degree flight over a property. You can use the mouse to move around the scene and see the flight from any angle you wish !

I’ve used my racing QuadCopter for this and was quite tricky to keep the machine at a slow speed. The extra weight of the 360 degree camera was also a challenge to control.

At the moment the YouTube system has zoomed into the scene quite a lot so the image looks low-res and a bit blurred. Viewing the original footage on my phone or PC allows me to zoom out and it looks better. I’m sure that YouTube will allow this feature at some time in the future.

Enjoy
Tony
