Thank you Ben for all these videos I appreciate the effort put into it!

Nice comparison.... Just bought a Matterport Pro 2 as well, so looking forward to your content on it as well!!

The main issue with matterport is the subscription-only ownership. You can buy the camera, but you don't own the photos and virtual spaces. Gotta pay a sub fee per active space (even just to share with others.). There is a huge untapped market for a company to just sell cameras with the ability to own the photos

Thank you Ben for this very helpful and informative video!

Thank you Ben! As a long time Wedding, Events, and Food photographer, I've been dabbling and training with real estate now and of course the whole 3D tour aspect very quickly came up. The options, similar to your video, are just that - Matterport or everything else. I've now successfully been able to process a partial home test and have it successfully upload. Looks super good for still learning their best practices but thank you for also covering the nitty-gritty of pricing models. Since I'll be focusing on real estate, like you said, tours go up, the home sells, it comes down so I find that flexibly growing into their plans may work best for me. Subbed! EXCELLENT video ;).

On that note, I’m making a real estate 360 video using 360 Pano Photos. I was actually wanting to add a Zoom transition mimicking if a person walks into the room or if a Remote control Rover drives the 360 camera into the rooms. I’m assuming this won’t work because it will distort the 360 image??? I just wanted to simplify my process and not use a Rover. Any recommendations?

Great comprehensive comparison review - thanks 👍

I wish there was a way to create that using other softwares, such as 3dvista.

Is there a similar software that allows you to insert videos maybe at 5.7k or 8k and then with the possibility of being able to keep it in the export of the project? A thousand thanks

Great video. Thank you

Great video, thank you for the excellent coverage! I'm about halfway through VTP, and Matterport certainly seems like a compelling option for my needs. In the meantime, it hasn't hurt to own a few shares of their stock (to put towards their camera someday, perhaps 😁).

Hey. Do you have a video on what gear you use professionally?

Hi Ben I love your videos :) But can you advice me on something. What is the best photosetting to have when taking retail 360photos with Insta360 one x?

3DVista can import panoramas taken with a stereoscopic camera such as Insta360 PRO or other 3D renders from V-ray, 3D MAX etc, and display them properly in 3D in VR headsets, does that not make it 3D? I realize it doesn't (for now) use depth maps, but for the rest of the comparison, I think it would give those other competitors a run for the money. But anyway, love your work, keep it up!

hello good video thanks man~ but i have a question! How do I erase the camera in the mirror when I film in the bathroom or at the gym?

As a hobbyist, who would be doing this for historic sites or for small businesses that I want to promote, I am looking for some software that will allow me to generate similar walkthroughs, but that do not require hosting on a commercial site. Essentially something that will generate a package of images, HTML, and JavaScript that can be hosted on any website. I already know about the Google StreetView app. That is how I got interested in 360 photography. I'm looking for software with a little more, AND can be hosted on any web server.

Awsome video! But what would be the best software got hosting domain for business to link the 3d tour on their website??

I have used the Matterport iPhone app, but it’s time consuming, 360 cameras work much better. Could/can you use one of the phone rotating tools with Matterport? I would think with on board Lidar on the iPhone now the rotating tool would create tours similar to their own cameras?

As a Realtor in the Florida homes are selling in less than a week. So I am just creating the 360 tours but leave the floorplan out. Don't need it. Probably don't even need the 360 photos but I enjoy the practice. Truly enjoy your videos.

Hello Ben. I know it is good and easy to take 360 photos and it is easy to use. But I want to make 3D model of my house. I tried with polycam and others, but I can't do it perfectly. I always have some inaccurate walls and furniture. I have bought a gimbal (dji osmo mobile 6). Now it is better, but still not perfect. Any ideas, may be you can do a video about it?

Hi Ben. I am a member of VTP..:0) I have 3d vista but need a doll house for a project. So, I got a subscription to metareal. The tour i'm doing is my company factory mainly focused on the one way / walkway system and the sanitizer stations. I'd like to ask in metareal tour do I start with the 1st indoor photo or does it do understand the outside approaching the door / outside walls. Also I only need to go a third way down the building inside. Do I need to map objects in the distance at the other end of the factory

May I know for Matterport, able to add custom logo in the virtual tour? Regardless is in 3D or 2D format.

I have switched from using Matterport to Benaco. It can do everything that matterport does, though the quality is not (yet) quite as good. On the plus side I can use any camera, I can edit the panos before uploading, and I can include external scenes in the dollhouse view. I would be interested in what you think of the software :)

I have a question, we are a school corp. wanting to do a virtual tour of our campus, would matterport work for that.. We can host the file/pics without an issue, can I just use matterport to combine the images and set it up and then download the video and not have to worry about paying for the subscription if I host the file myself? Or what would be your recommendation for accomplishing a virtual tour for our school.

Your thoughts on Cloud Pano for real estate please?

Can someone tell me in which of these softwares you can download your tour to your computer and then upload it to your own site, so it is not linked to a metareal url? Thanks

Great video Ben, you are my, all things 360 guru. Your Virtual Tour Pro Class is most definitely worth it, t paid for itself in the first month and now I'm earning an average of $1,200. per tour and shooting a couple of tours a month. Not sure if I'm ready to spend more than $3k on another new camera though. I love my Theta Z1 and have been learning DSLR for the last couple of months and the faster workflow with the matterport camera is appealing. Can you place URL-linked hotspots, client branding, and other cool stuff that is available on Kuula and 3D Vista within Matterport?

@victortriasdebes7314

Great question. I really need to know if Matterport allows the placement of linked hotspots over the images (for example linking products from a sports shop and send the visitor to an external website). Also in Kuula you can place pictures over a TV if the panorama has a TV so it looks better....Interactivity with the user during the tour is sometimes more important for my clients than the great 3D feeling of visiting a space, home or whatever....

Just a question, from a very old programmer, and image processor at one time - as an example, immoviewer - at 24:00 or so of your video - is this a software or server problem? I guess what I'm asking is do they have the bandwidth to serve the images quickly or not? If it's software, I just sort of wonder where they are stuck? No matter I guess, if I'm buying their service, they need to compare favorably. Thanks Ben for your very thorough review.
