How to 360 Product Photography Using a Motorized Photography Turntable

[@lotuslighters9957]

So this software will work with a Nikon D7100 and a third-party turntable? Also, does this software require updates? If so, free updates? Is this software user-friendly?

[@iconasys]

Thanks for reaching out. The Nikon D7100 is included in our camera compatibility list so it will work! The software does not require updates - it will function fine with out them. Purchases are for a perpetual license (meaning it wont turn off ever) and include 1 year free software upgrades and support. After the first year, should you wish to update, the price is $129/year.

Ok , thank you for your quick response. Note: I would be using this for shooting lighters and small accessories.@@iconasys

having 360 images ready is great; but how it run in marketplace image place holders? what compression scheme it supports and do we need a plugin to have the 360 run in amazon, shopify or self run eShop? TKS

[@iconasys]

Thanks for reaching out George! I wish there was an easy answer for you - all eCom platforms and marketplaces are different. Some, you can upload your 360's views and embed them into pages/product pages, some (ex. shopify) you can work with 360 product view plug-ins and some have pre-built in 360 capabilities (ex. Amazon) in wish you just provide a 360 image set (based on their listed requirements). We provide customers access to the individual image sets (in multiple different image formats) and also give 360 view outputs (in multiple different formats (ex. HTML5, MP4, GIF). This allows our customers, if selling on a single or multiple marketplaces/platforms to have the ability to deliver whatever the platform/marketplace demands for 360 requirements.

So you shot a moving object with the shutter speed at 1/4 of a second? You will see motion blur.

[@iconasys]

Youre absolutely correct Kevin! We did increase ISO and sped up the shutter to 1/15 before shooting and that eliminated the blur!

[@KevinVelghe-sq5wu]

@@iconasys Great!

[@Drumming_Monkey]

Can I set the motorized table in the software to stop at every angle before the picture gets taken and then starts moving again to the next one etc? That would eliminate the need to mind the shutter speed and/or get motion blur. Our current software is able to do so but doesn't support our new camera (Canon R6 MK II) and crashes a LOT so we're looking for alternatives right now :)

[@iconasys]

Thanks for reaching out! Do you have a turntable from Iconasys or a different brand? If an Iconasys turntable, yes, you can work with the Iconasys Turntable Controller Software and pre-define the number of frames per 360 and a delay at each turntable stop (ex. wait 3 seconds). If working with a 3rd party turntable, I'm not sure the functionality without knowing more about the turntable brand itself. Regarding the Shutter Stream 360 Product Photography Software in this video, users do have full control on capture frequency (defined in seconds (ex. 4.85 seconds) so essentially yes, you should be able to coordinate the capture frequency with the turntable stop motion! I hope we were able to answer your question however if we missed the boat, feel free to reply and clarify so we can understand correctly. Thank you!

@@iconasys Thank you for the quick reply. We're using a TopShow3D TSA table and our current software is object2vr. And yes, I think you have answered my question :) But just to be sure (the language barrier can sometimes be a problem, sorry for that): We usually take 12-24 shots per 360° and the table stops at those points, the picture is taken, the table then moves on automatically and so on until the whole thing is done. This makes the workflow very easy, and before buying another software, we just wanted to make sure that it gives us the same convenience, so that the camera and the table can do their job automatically while our guys are getting the next product ready for shooting. That saves so much time.

[@iconasys]

@@Drumming_Monkey Thanks for the detailed reply! Im familiar with both the TopShow Tables and Object2VR. I do believe our software will not only match convenience but also further help/streamline your 360 product photography workflows. Please email us at [e-mail] so our team can share additional info!

[@Drumming_Monkey]

@@iconasys Will do. Thank you very much.

No Fuji?

[@iconasys]

Unfortunately not. Fuji only offers a very limited software developers kit.
