Smaller & Faster Camera Setup for Matterport Tours - Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch BTS! Does it work?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Hey neighbor (kind of, I'm in Fort Worth) and my name is Andre also. Just been getting into shooting realestate videos over the past 6 months. Great video

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey man! Nice, good to meet ya! How's the real estate business over there? Thanks for watching!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

@@AndreiRestrepo Seems to be good, I’ve been doing free videos to get my feet wet and get my name out there but more importantly build a portfolio to show. Each listing that the realtor added a video sold ( contract) within 3 days.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

That's awesome man! That's the way to get started and get your name out there quick. Doing everything right, that's how I started, except I did RE photo first and then added video.

[@showingaustin]

Thanks for the video! It’s good to know this new camera works as it currently shows as coming soon, as a supported camera on the Matterport site. I personally use a Ricoh Theta Z1 with excellent results, but it’s good to know this is also an option. Note that you don’t have to go home/back to an office to upload the scans as most can do so with cellular service from their phones 😊

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks for the tip! I guess it’s because when I used to use a matterport camera with an iPad, I didn’t have a data connection on it so got used to doing it at home. Thanks for watching!

[@gustavovasquez92]

Great video! I'm using the 360 1" Insta360 and the combo is great. I think lots of UV light created your purple glitch. I've had it before. The other day I had a weird no memory card notification half way through a 1100 SqFt virtual tour. Restarting everything corrected it.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! Ahh interesting. Also, now that you mention the memory card thing, it happened to me too! Before I i was about to restart everything, it cleared itself. Thanks for watching!

[@brianrodriguez6897]

Matterport user here! You can use Matterport with your phone nowadays though I use it with my Theta Z1 and it also produces great content. That "glitchiness" you get in the air when walking through the property can be cleaned up in post. Matterport has a pretty intricate way to clean up lingering mesh but sometimes it can be necessary if something seriously got messed up. I had one where it would appear in a hallway and you could accidentally click on it and it'd take you to a nearby bathroom so I needed to remove it at all cost lol. Also, I've seen some people with Matterport cameras STILL produce subpar tours in my area so I don't think an Insta360 is a reason to price it so low. At least in the Nevada and Arizona market, the starting price is $150.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey Brian! Thanks for your input, appreciate it! Good to know that you think the IS360 produces tours up to par with the Matterport cameras. Thanks for watching!

Hi Brian, could you please tell me how I can fix this “glitchiness” on my walking through? because I have that every time when I move through the tour Thanks 😊

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

amazing! wow! the 360 is a little beast! 🤔 quick question: so in order to get the "scanning" you just placed the camera from a corner to capture the whole room? just one "position" of the room or different ones within the room...? thanks!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Different scans and for each room, depending on the size of the space. Like every scan being 4-5 ft apart or so!

[@Getorti]

Great video! I was wordering if this Insta360 ONE RS was better that the Ricoh Theta Z1 for Matterport? Thanks

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! I haven’t tried the Z1, but I’ve tried others Theta cameras and I want to say I like the image from the IS360 more. Plus having a bigger sensor helps as well. Thanks!

[@intillanes]

Great video. I already have the camera. How much do you charge for a 3d tour and how much does Matterport charges you?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! I actually don't really offer it anymore because we never get booked for it, just video content! But when I was, it would start at $175 and go up $25-$50 ever 1K sqft. I think until I had clients wanting it I was on a lowest monthly plan Matterport offered but our clients just don't request it. Thanks for watching!

[@intillanes]

@@AndreiRestrepo thank you!

[@roamwithdory]

This is great. Is there a way to upload photos from this camera to Matterport later, even if I did not connect the app when I first took the 360 pictures? is it still possible to create the tour?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Glad you liked it. Don't believe so, I think you have to use the Matterport app as you go and upload what you capture from it. Not 100% but pretty sure unfortunately!

[@CMFW68W]

I was the photographer for both of our deployments and fell in love with it. Then lulled because life back home. Decided to pursue it again for Real Estate. Your videos, Alex’s, and Ben’s videos have been super motivating. I decided to buy this earlier today and this video is the affirmation I needed. Thanks.

Hi Andrej, which one do you think is better for Real Estate 360 ""Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360" or "Insta 360 x4", thanks!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Not having used the new x4, I think it’s probably still the better camera between the 2. The 1 inch is nice for the modular capabilities, but I imagine the x4 has a nicer image overall. Thanks for watching!

[@markpalmos]

Great review, thanks, how was the curry? Is there any way to avoid the floating bits of wall you get when navigating from one pano to the next 0:25 etc ?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! Curry? Unfortunately, not that I know of. I remember asking a friend that uses the actual Matterport camera and he gets the same issues too. Thanks for watching!

[@JonnyGarvey]

Thanks for the tutorial. 🙂👍 I did the matterport scan with the insta360 OneR and the quality and dynamic range was not that good. Do you think the Insta360 One inch edition is much better? How does it compare to the matterport Pro 2 camera?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey Jonny! I think it might be a tad better but I still don’t think it’s great. The matterport camera provide a little bit better quality and DR in my opinion!

[@JonnyGarvey]

@@AndreiRestrepo Thank you for the reply. Do you have one of your tours you have done with your camera on any website that I could take a look would love to see it. it looked a good bit better in your video than my OneR.

[@hybrydsanity5857]

I recently purchased this RS 1 inch cam although i noticed on the Matterport site is says compatibility with this cam is coming soon most of the other Insta360 cameras are good to go either way it's just working for unknown reasons or they have to update their site, I'll probably give it a shot , good vid very helpful

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah I noticed that too. But aside from a quirk here and there, it worked out fine like I showed in this video. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo thank you ! so it will just get better then, they have a notify me button near the picture of the 1 inch Edition for when it's officially on board if you didn't already hit the notice button.

[@AlSo-Fotografie]

The video i was waiting for :) Thanks for it! Nice to know that Matterport supports other cameras. Is there any other company/ webside which supports virtual tours like this?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Not that I personally know of or have used. I know there's other services that support 360 photos and create a similar style tour. Thanks for watching!

[@brianrodriguez6897]

There are many others. I personally have used Asteroom as well and Asteroom supports different cameras and your phone too. It also allows you to edit each photo before actually creating the virtual tour which can help with white balance, nicer looking windows, etc. I still prefer Matterport over Asteroom though because Asteroom feels a bit more like Zillow 3D with higher quality.

[@OliversCalgaryVlogs]

Holy crap- I had the exact same issue doing my first Matterport with this camera- this first scan did not work. One side of the scan is black, but when you upload it to be processed, that first scan came back complete white out and totally unusable. I hid the scan, but it was annoying because it was an important scan by the front door. Something to be aware of, for sure. I'll be checking that first scan on location next time!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Interesting, has it happened again?

[@OliversCalgaryVlogs]

So what settings are you using on the IS360 One RS? Or by using the Matterport app does it sort of choose the settings for you, so to speak?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Correct, it’s like auto settings. No control over them as far as I know. Thanks for watching!

[@wernergetzmann]

Which settings must be set in the Insta 360 One RS? Photo, Photo Pureshot, HDR?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

You can’t control any of the settings when using matterport’s system. I’m guessing it just uses auto settings but yeah it’s a bummer you can’t control it! Thanks for watching

[@ShopHomesAtlanta]

Can you also scan the exterior perimeter of the home, so that the full dollhouse view shows the outside/exterior walls on the 3D graphic? This is my only gripe is when you start the 3D viewing, it doesn't look good. I have the Insta360 RS 1-inch... I haven't used it for Matterport yet, but I've used it for video home walkthroughs. thanks for your video

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I agree, that’s one aspect I don’t like either. Not entirely sure, I think it might scan weird. I’ve seen it done on patios and front door exterior but not the actual perimeter. Would be worth a try! Thanks for watching

[@imamiketoo2533]

If you had to figure in the cost of the camera and matterport fees, how long are you thinking it will take to cover the cost and be profitable? I think I heard you say the demand wasn’t high. Are you seeing this as something to remain competitive and maybe a write off this year or do you believe it will be profitable? I’m on the fence that’s why I’m asking. Love your content, thank you for the hard work and knowledge drops.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Good question. If I start my pricing at $150 and only charge that, (not to mention that I will actually structure it based on sqft of the property) I could probably break even within a few months, if not sooner. Simply to get back the cost of the camera & kit at around $1000 and the Pro & Business Matterport monthly plan at $69. If you really pursue getting clients that specifically want matterport, you could make up the cost sooner. And once you have the camera paid off, simply 1 gig / month would cover the monthly plan + profit and every gig after that for the month is profit. Thanks for watching!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Super cool! Still need to try this out lol. Are you going to start offering it to clients?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Worked out pretty well! And yes I am. New service add on!

[@hybrydsanity5857]

that's awesome to be able to do the tours in auto but that cam does have manual modes that you can mess with if you want to, do you work in manual mode and change settings or is that to time consuming.?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! So to my understanding, if you specifically make a tour with matterport, you can’t access any settings/feature of the IS360 camera and have to just use whatever auto settings it does. Wish you could!

[@paulcanz]

Sounds good to me ! Thanks for the feedback

[@MonaShieldPayne]

Hi Andrei... Hoping you can help me. I purchased the One RS for architectural photography. It's worked fine for about 15 shoots. Last week it produced these arched blackish banding lines on the DNG images. The merged DNG eliminated them; so I had to edit the merged instead of working with the individual DNGS. Have you ever run into this? Tech Support has not been helpful. BTW I have updated the firmware. I wish I could send you a jpg example.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Bummer to hear, no clue about that! Haven't encountered that myself. I also haven;t used it in awhile so I'm not on the latest firmware or super familiar with it now since I've been using the X3 recently. Bummer tech support hasn't been helpful!

[@MonaShieldPayne]

Thanks for answering tho. Hope tech support does more for me.

[@Freed0703]

does this take good quality, accurate floor plans

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah, you can generate floor plans from it and they turn out pretty good!

[@NatureVR]

What about the 2d photos? Is the quality good enough for the agents to use? Not the 360 photos but the 2D photos that you can download for their listing. The X2 doesn't give good enough quality for that. Thanks.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Honestly not really IMO. I wish you could control the settings and use HDR photos. If you don’t use matterport and shoot HDR photos from it, then definitely but I don’t think the quality is the best for the 2D photos it generates.

[@NatureVR]

@@AndreiRestrepo Thanks very much for such a fast reply, I'm honestly looking for middle of the road quality. In my little town we have a lot of mid to lower value listings that need a quick method to capture the tour, photos and floor plans.

[@itsmegeorge30]

Hi! I would like to ask what is the difference between the two insta360 X2 and One RS 1inch 360. I am using insta360 x2 But the problem is when uploading in matterport the image is not that clear. Hope you can give me a clear explanation coz i am just planing to buy the One RS 1 inches. If there's no different the clarity of the image i rather stay on the insta360 X2 :) . Please help me to decide. Thanks. More power to your channel.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey George! I can’t say as I haven’t personally used it. I honestly don’t think you’d see much of a difference though. The 1 inch sensor version helps a lot more for video and other features from IS360, not so much for matterport.

[@HugoBarrientoss]

Hello thnks for video just got that camera but one side of my scan is complete black, the other is normal, do you know why?

why did you choose his over the x3. i was thinking of getting the x3 for the higher MP

IS360 sent this one for me to review, so maybe they’re just trying to push this one more with matterport. But sounds like that one could be better!

[@ivanrvzo5723]

How much does it cost to upload and receive the link of the finished product? 😊

[@AndreiRestrepo]

You get one free trial to upload and see a preview of the that scanned property, but can't share it. Then their plans start at $9.99 for about 5 properties I believe and goes up from there. Thanks for watching!

[@gersoncar1472]

Can i take the photos in jpeg or do they need to be hdri photos?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

You actually don't have any camera/settings control I believe when using the Matterport app. I just uses the camera in auto settings I believe. If you take photos outside of the Matterport system, yes you can use HDR, RAW photos, etc. Thanks for watching!

[@somguynco]

Did you (or anyone else reading this that has used the RS 1") have the Matterport Beta version? I tried to use the RS 1" with Matterport and I get an error that the 360 Mod Isn't Installed and to install that. I chatted with Matterport CS and they tell me the camera isn't fully supported yet- (but it would work on the Beta) and offered no solution to the error I'm getting. Anyone run into this?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hmm, not sure I follow! I used the Matterport app that's available for iPhone with the IS360 One RS 1-inch and worked pretty well like you saw in the video. Maybe I'm just not familiar with the Matterport beta app you're talking about

[@somguynco]

@@AndreiRestrepo I suspect the issue is iOS vs Android version of Matterport (Android here). And I'm not familiar with the beta version either - CS at Matterport is the one who made it sound like it was the beta version that worked with the RS 1" - and wasn't helpful beyond that.

For all, I think the reason why the Matterport site didn't confirm compatibility is because the camera is not fully supported, in fact under certain circumstances it is possible to use this camera with Matterport but the result is not always satisfactory especially with external lights burning too much and the hdr, after loading and processing, is not nice, need manual settings and is not possible for now, if someone know some trick please speak!
