Hey guys...

Loving the new Sphere Panorama Mode on the DJI Spark. It was crazy windy today, but I had to talk about it. Check it out!

Awesome. I've been waiting for this for a while as well. Thank you for the post. i wish they come up with a true 360 like the Hangar360 app I use along with this Tiny Planet mode.

How much space do you have on your phone/tablet? You may not have enough RAM to process the image. Crashes are usually from exhausted resources. Maybe close other apps?

Raymond, I had the same issue last night. As Shawn stated, I closed out all the other apps and it worked fine.

Use an app for Android called Shutapp. It force closes all your apps to free memory and processor. Make sure to uninstall it after your done tho as it man handles every app on your phone is a ruff way.

I tried using the Sphere mode yesterday. Spark took the photos and the DJI app stitched/processed them just fine. I was able to view the Sphere, rotate it, etc. Was awesome. My question is, now what? How do I get the Sphere to my computer or elsewhere? After I turn off the spark and controller, the resulting 'sphere' image remaining on my iPad is just one flat image that does not do anything? I know I'm missing something here. Just not sure what I need to do to finish the process. Any help would be appreciated.

The same problem here with the Iphone 6, the app crashes at the end of stitching.

Share them to Skypixel from the DJI GO app and your get a photosphere which flies in from the Tiny Planet to a full 360 view which you can rotate on your computer or tablet/phone.

If you have Adobe Photoshop you can also convert that flat file using the polar coordinates filter.

I do have Photoshop but am not familiar with the polar coordinates filter? I'll poke around and see if I can find it and how to use it. This is a 'still' of my first go at the new Sphere mode. It's just a 'flat' image and not one that rotates, etc. Pretty cool feature if I can just figure out how to manage the resulting files.

TXspark I love that image!!!
Could you please share the step-by-step from capture to final image.
I just did the firmware update and would really love to get this view of my neighborhood.

When I did mine I was somewhere at 100 ft too 150. I don't think the height matters much

Microsoft ICE is free and does an amazing job of stitching the 46 photos together. Gives you a lot more ways to distort your panos and tons of options. Check it out.
