| Hi All, If you are thinking of getting started with 360º spherical photography using a DSLR camera, here is a shopping list, as provided in an eBlast that I received today (23 June 2020) from Virtual Tour Pro Course Creator Ben Claremont (with Ben's affiliate links). You can shoot 360 photos with almost any DSLR + lens combination, but the workflow and complexity will greatly depend on the gear you choose. A fisheye lens is highly recommended if you want to keep your workflow simple. My advice for a basic professional DSLR 360 starter setup under $2,000: $250 - Manfrotto 190X Tripod + Ball Head $270 - Nodal Ninja R20 Panohead incl lens ring + rotator $849 - Sigma 8mm fisheye $629 - Canon 80D body (24MP APS-C) ===== $1,998 Total All the gear can be replaced individually, allowing you to upgrade depending on your future needs. Shooting with a DSLR requires some DSLR camera/photography knowledge as you will need to set up your camera in a specific way. If you are a total newbie, the best place to start is shooting in Aperture priority mode, ISO 100, f8, -2, 0, +2 EV bracketing, fixed white balance (not auto), and usually manually focusing your fisheye at a 1-meter distance." The best software to edit these files in are: ✓ PTGui (for stitching) ✓ Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom (for colour correction) Ok so that’s the basic gear & software setup! --- Source: Virtual Tour Pro Course Creator Ben Claremont.
