How To Make A Virtual Tour 100% On Your Phone

Yet another reason not to use your phone for phone calls 😂

Your videos don't always apply to my everyday casual photography, but they are always interesting, informative, professionally polished, and fun to watch. You're such a positive influence, maybe that's why you have so many viewers. Please keep being you, Ben!

Thankyou!

I purchased the Asteroom rotator kit. I have not received it yet. Is it possible to still process the 360's myself. I just want to be able to practice first then use their service for Dollhouse and floot plans.

[@OscarLvera]

I have a question, Asteroom's kit just work with the app? Or I can use it an upload the photos in another software?

[@StephenCDayton]

+ Question: What is the 180-day tour hosting fee for? Can't the doll house and tour be hosted on the business's own hosting platform? And what happens after the 180-day hosting window ends? + Question: Can Asteroom be used for Google 360 Virtual Tours that can be uploaded to a Google Business Profile (GBP)?

Ben Claremont you are so great! Thanks a lot for your info! I’m glad that I’m a member of your course!

[@BenClaremont]

Super happy to hear it!!!

[@virginiasantana-ferrer9187]

Have used the Asteroom previously! Affordable! Easy to Use. Wish they had a case for Pixel phone!

[@susanjones0505]

I purchased the Asteroom a few months ago and I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max to shoot real estate tours. Our company has the Matterport but it's much more cumbersome to use. I love the Asteroom! It's quick, simple to use and the staging feature is great! The Matterport is free for our agents to use but frankly, I'd rather pay a few bucks to use Asteroom. #asteroom

[@luaviramosgiacoman8903]

Hi, could I use an iPad instead that an iPhone?

[@vadrial4703]

Hi, i’m interested about you’re tools, it’s possible to import on platform like Airbnb ? I want use you’re tools because I want upload virtual visit to creat some ads.

[@realhomestolove3939]

We LOVE #Asteroom because in this HOT MARKET - TIMING is CRITICAL! Having the ability to do this in a more timely manner IS KEY!

[@mr.amendoza]

If you could only choose one which one would you prefer? Matterport phone version or Asteroom?

[@mercedesburrowes8658]

We absolutely love our Asteroom! It has brought peace of mind to our clients that there are not many people crossing through their homes and it has allowed us to do all photography in-house. We absolutely love it and it has paid itself off in just a few listings! Thank you, #Asteroom!

[@BenClaremont]

Awesome to hear!

[@davidhowell9933]

Incredibly to use - created a tour of a 6,000 square foot home within an hour of opening the equipment. Virtually no learning curve. Love it! #Asteroom

I have been in real estate for over 45 years and this has been the easiest, most cost effective and the one with the most capabilities of all the units I have ever had. Looking forward to a long relationship. #Asteroom

Can you export this and add it to a website? And what about audio can you add audio clips depending on what room you are in?

[@is5210]

you can extract the 3d model of the house to another platforms??

[@corneliajensen3955]

I love using Asteroom and taking charge of my own tours and floor plans. I don't know how accurate the floor plan is, but it looks like it captures the proportions well without giving the numbers. For the floor plan to function it needs to be measured accurately from the floor to the center of the lens. Asteroom only gives measurement options in whole inch increments so make the height to the lens centered at an even inch height with no fractions. Asteroom has a variety of how to videos that are very helpful. The tech support is very good too.

[@virtualjennie]

Great video! Thank you. But can I see the final tour video? The link on the description is not working. :(

[@murrayrixryanphotography.c7880]

Nice review Ben. Can Asteroom be used in a VR headset? have look on their website but can't see any info. I am looking at placing 3D room settings in to a VR as the property to be photographed is empty. If not do you recommend a software that does as I'm having trouble finding one that works well with a headset. Thank you & Cheers, Murray

[@JeepTJWheelin]

Excellent video. I was looking for a more economical way of doing these virtual tours for my clients and this definitely works well. @11:40, you mentioned that you were able to shoot at 32mp on your iPhone Pro Max 12, yet my son's iPhone Pro Max 13 only has 12mp. I know they both have 4k video, but to date, iPhone doesn't make a camera phone with 32mp.

[@Sydney2217]

Outstanding production , mesmerized by the innovation . How does it go from portrait mode on the camera pics to landscape 16 x 9 in the final showing on the PC ?

[@BenClaremont]

It does all the stitching automatically.. it’s possible because of the wide angle lens 😀

[@stevenpam]

Very thorough overview! Thanks, Ben

[@jalabi99]

Matterport should be shaking in their boots! Asteroom is looking good!

Does photos save to your camera roll? Can you use the photos in other software?

[@shreyasachrekar8072]

The 100% Mobile workflow seems intresting also the 3d staging feature is so cool🔥

[@jnenn26]

Can you download the layout or save it to a file to send to realtors?

[@agb2819]

This can also be used for scouting film locations so lighting can be planned before the shoot

[@abhisekdugar2374]

Hi Ben. I wanted to know what would be the best resolution for 360° vt for desktop version as the image gets strached or do you have any other way out. Plz guide.

[@bangalicreative]

Hey Ben, thanks for this. What kind of money would you suggest to charge when starting up?

[@BenClaremont]

Minimum $200USD/tour. I teach pricing in-depth in my Virtual Tour Pro course- link in description 👍

Hi Ben, just a question, how does the hosting work. Can we host on our desired platform or on their designated?

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

What do you think of the Ricoh V 360 camera in 2023? Does it still compete?

[@mehdiasghari7633]

Thanks a lot Ben. Too much information in a single video. Appreciate it a lot. Do they charge 12 dollar for creating the tour using their app or for hosting the tour?

[@sanantoniobroker]

I like that Asteroom includes the yard in its 3D model. #Asteroom

[@adhamosman7425]

But doesn't it look a big warped compared to matterport, especially when your moving around?

Nope

[@louispont8004]

Great video Ben! Would the iPhone 15 pro max be sufficient in comparison to a DLSR for high end luxury home?

[@paulayala4816]

Awesome, this would be helpful for my work and is something I have talked about with my supervisor. I work for a waste water agency, where we have a large number of tunnels, pipe galleries, pump rooms, etc... This would come in handy for design, bid and the preconstruction stage of a project. Watching your video I see two potential problems to implement this for my needs. 1. Is a big issue and something our IT would have a cow about, and that is we are not allowed to host any videos or photos to an external hosting site period, "all videos and photos must be stored on our agency servers." 2. If number 1 can be solved than I could probably afford this for myself, "trying to get the agency to pay for this would be more headache than it is worth." 3. Is lighting, some places are very dark, but the answer to this is pretty easy, I would need to carry some lights with me. Perhaps Asteroom is not the best option for my needs, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

[@stevendrew1477]

Benn using it for 9 months showing houses - excellent option. Ery easy to setup and publish. Clients love it. #Asteroom

[@lizbradley8391]

I love Asteroom! The kit has everything I need to create the tours using my iPhone. The customer support is fast and responsive and ordering the dollhouses and 2D floor plan is super easy. As mentioned, this makes the 3D tours really fast and easy to do. So grateful for #Asteroom because without it, I wouldn’t have made the leap to start shooting Real Estate Photography, and with the lockdown in Ontario right now, it’s all I CAN shoot! So extra grateful!

[@BenClaremont]

Awesome to hear!

[@keitholsen8787]

Thanks again, Mr. Ben! I’ll definitely look into this, just soon as I upgrade from my iPhone 6S...

[@foliveir84]

Hi Ben, great video. One question, it's possible take the shoots with asteroom and then use other platform, like kuula, oi de panos are limited to asteroom virtual tours?

[@peanutismint]

Good video Ben! I was excited at first, as I thought this could probably replace Matterport and their confusing hosting/pricing structure, but then finding out you need to pay extra for them to build the tours for you makes this a lot less exciting again :-(

[@shaanpattanaik6161]

True .. 12$ For each 180 days approx ... not fair to pay life long to maintain its validity :( .... their should be one time payment ...

[@BenClaremont]

It’s cheaper than Matterport if you have 6+ tours active. For 5 or less, Matterport wins. I’ll cover this in detail in my upcoming comparison 😀

[@tomweeksrealtor7679]

I purchased Asteroom a few months ago. I was impressed with the quality I could get from just using a smartphone. Amazing results when using HDR mode. Turnaround time for finished tour, dollhouse and floorplan was quick. I'll be using it twice in the next week. #asteroom

[@steveteare3865]

Good that they can generate a 2d floorplan, but the question is: How accurate is it? With the LIDAR sensor on your iPhone it could be very accurate - as per Magicplan for example, but I don't see anything to indicate they are using that. Great video as always - engaging and informative - thanks!

[@erictsai987]

It's about 8% margin of error

[@steveteare3865]

@@erictsai987 Thanks - that's probably not good enough for most estate agents (here in UK anyway), hence the significance of LIDAR in this field.

[@KenleighPanjo]

Will we be able to host on social media and other app like all homes and so on?

[@CaptainJack63]

Three questions. First: Does Asteroom use the iPhones Lidar to map out the room dimensions as Materport does? Second: Would Asteroom work with odd layouts like a Sailing Yacht to Motor Yachts? Third: Can the rooms be renamed for nautical terms, i.e. Head, Stateroom, Salon, Gangway, etc?

[@vekrog2826]

1. I doubt it uses the lidar but more likely it uses farmers height like it does when I use Insta 360 One X. But I could be wrong. Accuracy is within 10% I believe. 2. I don't see it having any issues with smaller spaces. 3. You can name rooms anything you want if you can't find it on the list.

[@CaptainJack63]
