Creating Matterport Real Estate Virtual Tours

[@airadaimagery692]

This is the best RE photography coaching, and advice, that I have ever received.

This was genuinely the most helpful video I’ve seen in a while, much appreciated my friend

[@JaysCashVault]

Extremelyhelpfull thank you! My only question is how many scans should you get in any one location? for example that doorway to the stairs you showed. How many scans did you do there?

[@JeffreyJDavis]

Mike - great useful and straighforward content, as always. Quick Q on your on site workflow. Do you typically do your full frame HDR/flambient shots first and then do the matterport walkthrough? Once you are familiar with the matterport process how long does it take to shoot a house? Is it basically doubling your time on site?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! Yes, I usually always do photos first and then any other services ordered after that. It roughly takes me the same amount of time as photos. I’d say usually even faster most of the time.

[@KillNoSpiders]

Great video. I’m brand new to Matterport. Just bought a used pro2. In the Matterport capture app, is there a difference between “+ new job” and “+ new space?” I do real estate photography and I ran my first 3d model test today using “+ new job.” I haven’t uploaded it yet. When I click on the “space” tab it asks me if I’d like to “create my first space.” If I proceed it takes me to the scanning interface same as if I were starting a new “job.” I’m not understanding what the difference is between the two tabs “jobs” and “spaces” when beginning a project. Thank you in advance!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hey thanks! I’ve always done “+ new job” for every job that I do so that’s what I would recommend doing.

[@deltalima5806]

LOL same! Let me ask you, I'm a professional photographer but have never done this service. I have an opportunity to do one and they need it with in a couple weeks. Is this something I can responsibly take on (being that I don't know much about it) and learn it quickly or should I take some time to learn it and then offer my services? Looks pretty easy compared to what I've done (photography, videography)

[@abdoooly]

@@deltalima5806 Did you offer the service? I’m very curious hopefully it went well

[@rebeccanagel2970]

Thank you so much for putting this video together- it was so helpful. Question- how do you go about charging clients who will need the tour active forever, like multifamily and businesses?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

If they need the tour indefinitely then I request that they crest their own matterport account so they can pay the hosting fee themselves.

[@tyebinuyo532]

I ran out of battery today on a 4000 sq foot home using the Theta z1... A power bank and that extender are a great investment!

Oh man, what did you do? Do you have to go back?

[@tyebinuyo532]

@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Nah sat in the car and charged it for 15 mins and that got me back to about 25% power to complete the last floor. Do you find that your Z1 is sometimes glitchy? Mines sometimes cuts off for no reason.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

@@tyebinuyo532 yup that definitely happens to me haha

[@youmarc11]

If you get the plan that's $9.99/mth for 5 active spaces how long are you keeping the spaces active for real estate agents once you share the tour with them? Do you charge for hosting after a certain length of time?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Typically 6 months. If they need longer I will charge more

[@grantdecker1190]

Good video. Matterport is a love/hate relationship. Love the Matterport Pro 2 camera and the speed you can create tours. Hate about everything else. You have to have great cell service, if not you are not creating a tour anytime soon. You cant edit any of the panos and the hosting fees are ridiculous. For the time being I use Richo Theta Z1 (with Dual Fisheye Plugin) with Metareal which creates floor plans and doll house effect for small tours. CloudPano will probably be my next step since they keep improving. For larger properties I use my mirrorless (Sony A7RIII) with 12mm fisheye (Samyang 12mm F2.8) and pano head (Nodal Ninja 6) with PTGui Pro (stitching software), and 3D Vista (Tour Builder). I self host on a Amazon S3 bucket for now but will most likely switch to a google gpc bucket once I figure it out. I will shoot a Matterport tour but only if specifically asked.

[@airadaimagery692]

Why don’t you use your Sony A7Rlll for all of your tours? What are the advantages of using the Theta Z1 over the Sony, and why don’t you use the Theta Z1 on the larger tours? Thanks.

[@grantdecker1190]

@@airadaimagery692 #1 Marketing strategy and upscaling. #2 The Theta Z1 is a good camera not great. One of the advantages is you can create tours quickly with it as you saw in this video. #3 DSLR/Mirroless camera with the right lens has the highest resolution and the best picture quality, but it's a slow process. Example: With the ThetaZ1 you place at the location, press a button and your done. With my Sony A7RIII and my 12mm fisheye has to take a minimum of 6 shots 4 around, then the Zenith (ceiling), then the Nadir (floor). Now that is only in perfect lighting conditions. If not in perfect lighting conditions I then have to do bracket shots and maybe flash for window pulls. So that can bring that 1 Pano to 24 shots. That is pretty rare that I will ever get to that but hopefully you get the idea. That is only with a linear fisheye lens with 180 degree field of view. I also shoot with a regular 12mm that has 120 field of view, I then need alot more shots per pano. In the long run it depends on what you want to market yourself. I market my business towards the commercial, business, architecture, and interior design instead of pure real estate. Take care.

[@davidcook5186]

Grant, can you share a Metareal you've shot with the Z1. The tours on the Metareal website are blurry. Curious to see yours. Thanks

[@maxlasater]

I’m impressed with the matterport axis

[@MC78999]

Hi Mike, Any thoughts on the insta360 one RS compared to the Ricoh Theta Z1? It’s cheaper, more modular and has that Leica lens…. thoughts? And thanks for all of your videos, they have been a tremendous help!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Glad to hear it! I haven’t been able to try that camera out yet so unfortunately I can’t really share an opinion on it yet.

[@riverman9813]

Great video I had never considered how relatively easy it was to do 3-d tours. How do handle challenging lighting conditions. Just did my photo only first shoot and the apartment had some natural light and mixed lighting. For example looking down a hallway with dark wood floors and natural light at the beginning becoming darker with weak incandescent light towards the end with a small window at the very end with natural light again.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Matterport exposes automatically so there’s no control over anything

[@MarquesAngelMusic]

When you place the trims for the walls, what floor levels are stairs included in?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

The stairs are included in the lower floor. So for instance, the stairs going from floor 1 to floor 2 would be in the floor 1 scans.

[@candiceclaireh837]

Hi, Great video. Was just wondering if you know how to place a company logo photo instead of the blurry camera spot that comes up in the Virtual tour? Thanks

[@zainshafiq]

Quick question. If one owns a multi-family building with - say - 7 apartments, how does this work in that context? You'd be leaving one unit to go to the next one - sometimes walking outside? If I wanted to show a prospective tenant just the 1 unit they're looking at, can I segment the 7 Matteports (or 1 big Matteport) to just that one tenant? And does this count as 7 different files active, or 1? Can't I simply shot the tour and download it myself, so I can share it only with prospective tenants? That's a different segment than a real estate sale of a residential home which you want everyone to be able to see...

[@manwegump391]

Man, this was realy helpful for me.. Thank you so much! One question: nowadays that there's more 360 cameras in the market, which one will you recommend to do this kind of job?

[@xElectricblaze]

With the Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch that came out late last year do you still recommend the Ricoh Theta Z1 over that?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I haven’t tried that one yet so can’t really say

[@charalabosgeorgiadis9778]

thank you for your video. i have an Insta 360 Pro. Is there a way to just add photos and make the process or i have to be connected with the app?

[@cmjphoto]

Another great Video! Do you worry about mirrors? Sometimes its impossible to keep your camera out of the reflection (especially in bathrooms etc). I know with Matterport, there's no option for retouching etc. Also, settings on the Z1... do you adjust or change anything to compensate for what you see through windows? I've been shooting with the Z1 and using the Dual Fisheye Plugin, which goes through an HDR kinda workflow, but a bit time consuming. I'm considering Matterport to speed this workflow up. Cheers from Canada!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! Yeah I don’t worry about mirrors. It is what it is. I don’t change any settings. Yeah Matterport is super fast and easy.

[@dougnelson423]

Great Video, awesome content. As I am really new to this is was a little confused on one topic. You recommended the Ricoh Theta Z1 which I totally agree with. But, after showing your 360 tour you said to go into your Matterport account to upload. I was under the impression that using the Ricoh Theta Z1 you would then go into the CUBICASA account. Thanks

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hey Doug, CubiCasa is floor plan only service that you create using their app on your phone. Separate entity all together.

[@rubberduck5241]

Quick question about the entire matterport thing.. Whats the best way to go about it. I have never used it and I am curious on how to use it the best. The pricing is not the cheapest and I am wondering, if its up to me to have those 20 - 50 slots or if this should be the cost and account of the real estate agent. At the end of the day its my cost for as long as they have it listed. What do you think or how do you handle this?

[@jonahkaiguam]

Awesome video. Although I'm running into an issue Scanning. Every time I tap the Scan button, I get Lost Connection error. When I try to check the files on the camera, it shows File Corrupted. I've tried it my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra running Android 12 and my older Note 9 running Android 10

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hmm I would contact Matterport about those issues and see if they have any solutions

[@markkokkoros5517]

This is great - as usual! Two questions: I understand Matterport is firing employees and it's stock price is falling, does this concern you, and do you suggest alternatives? Also, what percentage of your clients ask for a Matterport virtual tour? Thanks!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I’m not overly concerned about it. For now it remains dominant in the industry. If people start asking for something else I will pivot. I don’t a ton of them. Maybe a couple times a month or so.

I have a question about this, is there a way to just take the pictures and stitch them afterwards? the matter port app is creating the tour on the go, but I couldn't log in the app a while a go and I couldn't finish the tour, I could have just take the pictures with the insta app, but I don't know if this is a viable workflow in case this happens again

You can’t do that with matterport. Everything has to be done through the app.

Can you explain the floor plan and delivery process with the Z1? So to my understanding, I take the virtual tour, submit the "VT link" to Cubicasa, pay them a fee and they'll do up the floor plan and RMS measurements and send back to me, then I would add the VT tour to matterport hosting and then I can take the matterport host link, house photos, floor plan, and video and send to the client correct?

How to be in this situation? Just open a new account and buy a new subscription?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

The model stays up as long as the persons or company’s account it’s being hosted on doesn’t delete it. Most likely they will delete it at some point to make room for others. You can create models with an iPhone but not android as far as I know and it’s not a great experience using a phone as far as I know.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! The 360 captures are like bonus material. Best way to describe it. They are just like panorama shots. You can see the icon when you are in the tour and you just click on it. It’s not another circle on the floor. Different icon.

[@amysewick6929]

This may be a silly question but what do you do to connect to WiFi if you are using an app that connects to the 360 camera? Do you get it from the home-owner? Do you create a hotspot? I'm realizing I am not sure how one would get on WiFi if they are not at home/at a place with public WiFi (i.e. coffee shop). Awesome and informative video as usual!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I can see why that may be confusing. You don’t need to connect to someone’s WiFi. You are connecting to the cameras WiFi network that it is transmitting so the app can communicate with the camera. In other words, in your WiFi settings you’ll see the camera name and that’s what you connect to.

Thanks for fine video. I have look for some time on Matterport But now I look on the Ricoh Z1 and Kuula. I have Kuula and PTGUI and think this and the Z1 Can deliver a fine result. But is there more work in post with the Z1 Then the Matterport?? I think Matterport is 134 MB and Z1 only 23mb. But Z1 looks fine compare the Matterport.

There is no additional work using the Z1

I captured my first house capture today but I did it in the Theta app. Is it possible to upload those Matterport or do I need to do all the capturing within the app in the moment? The upload button is disabled on my app.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I’m afraid you’ll have to do it again. Yes, you need to capture everything within the matterport app.

[@KenleighPanjo]

Do you do color correction or directly upload after scanning

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

You cannot edit the images in matterport. Doesn’t have the capability. You just directly upload after you are finished.

I have a RICO X will it work? and does it take the measurement also

What is the next steep how you download the virtual tour and put in the webside

Hey 👋🏻 How to install Matterport App on IPhone? There is no application in the App Store 😢

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hi, yes, the matterport app is definitely in the App Store!

What about the 360 feature outside? How does that work ?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

It just takes a 360 panoramic photo outside. You place them in the model in the appropriate place and when going through the space you see a little icon and when you click it you can view the 360 photo. Hope that makes sense. Haha.

The Leica costs 18k because it is a Lidar scaner. It is a conmpletely different animal used for different applications, such as build and construction modeling and BIM.

thanks for the video!!

Mike, is the finished tour held on the Matterport cloud whereby the agent pastes a link into their website or can it be downloaded and saved as a file? I suppose what i'm saying does Matterport host the tour at all times?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

It is hosted by Matterport yes. It cannot be downloaded and hosted elsewhere. That’s how they keep you paying those subscription fees! Haha.
