Indoor Street View STEP-BY-STEP Shooting Tutorial

September 2020 update: I would recommend using Theta Z1 instead of One X for virtual tours.
In this video I go over my process of shooting an indoor Street View tour. Many of these principles will also apply to regular Virtual Tours. I hope to help you in any way I can to make better street view, wether it's as a hobby or as a business.
1. I suggest shooting Street View tours while the store is open. It makes for a more natural feeling and people are used to seeing people in Street View with their faces blurred.
2. Plan your shoot with a blue print or a sketch that you make of the store. This helps with pricing and also when you are shooting you can cross out places that you have shot so you don't forget anything.
3. When shooting indoor take a photo every 3-5 meters (or in same cases 10 meters). Most important thing is to have a line of sight between shots. My rule is to shoot as few photos as I can and as many as I need.
4. Before every shoot you need to clean your camera lens with a microfiber cloth and do a gyroscope calibration. Shoot in either HDR or RAW depending on your preference. I shoot in HDR.
5. Camera should be at eye-level or 150 cm/5 feet.
6. Keep doors open that you go through in the virtual tour. Always take a few door stoppers with you.
7. Take a few shots outside the store as close to the street as possible. This gives you a small chance of it automatically connecting to the Street View car.
8. Face the stitch line towards something that is not very important. Usually that means turning it 45 degrees from where you are going. If you have a strong source of light then I suggest turning the stitch line towards it to get an even exposure.
9. If you feel shy to take photos when the store is open then pretend that you own the place, then you will feel more authoritative.
10. I make sure that there is staff at the register and if there are no customers then I sometimes pretend to be one to make the store look more busy.
I use Insta360 One X and Manfrotto Nanopole. I would also recommend using Theta Z1.

Great tutorial on how to shoot 360 virtual tours!!! Thanks so much.
No problem. I'm still learning, it's an art that you get better at with every tour you make.

Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the making of of inside virtual tour
Dont mention it 😇
Thank you for going to the trouble of making this - it was very helpful. One minor suggestion - include all that good information in text in your video description below (brief summary, products and software) as it is truly valuable data! Thanks again.
Hi. Sorry for late reply. 8 months later and I finally got around to putting timestamps in the video and a summery of the main points of the video. Thank you for suggesting it!
Great work
Thank you for this video. Watchin this March of 2023. Anything changed as discussed/written?
Bravo ... Thank u
Nice video, I have a theta SC , I am planning to buy a theta x , I am expecting more videos from you
Hopefully very soon. Sorry for the delay.
Much work..... SUBSCRIBE from America. Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
good video, but you could explain the camera settings you are using (iso, shutter spead ...), and how to upload virtual tours, connect images, and publish them on google street view
Thank you. ISO and shutter is automatic. I will explain publishing in a future video. It would have been to long for one video.
Hello! Love the step by step instructions! May I know which Virtual Tours software tool that you personally prefer (or recommend) for the Google Street View? I'm curious to know! Thanks!
Im using Gothru and Pano2vr, depends on the project
Hello Sir, I enjoyed watching this video ,and I am very interested. I just wanted to know how you connected the Images together when you want to upload them ?? You didn't show how can we Connect all Images ! Shouldn't we connect the Images together before uploading and publish them Via GSV app ? Please I hope you reply 😎
Yes, if you use the app you should connect them first. But you can always connect them later if you forget.
Hi Eysteinn,
Nice informative video. It's a bit long, but useful! 👍🏻
May I ask how much did you charge for that 2 floor shop? Thank you and keep up the good work! 🙂
My next video will be shorter :) I cant disclose the price for this particular store but ill go into charging in a future video.
I really liked your video. I would like to present some basic doubts. I had some problems when connecting the photos, and I think maybe the questions below can help me next time.
1) During the photos, does it make any difference to change the 'front' of the camera? Or is it important to always use the same lens pointing in the direction you are moving?
2) What is the method used when the path is divided into two or more different paths?
3) What to do when the path turns suddenly to one side or the other?
This tutorial is explaining indoor street view. For outdoor paths I would need to do an entire video. You dont need to keep the camera facing any specific direction. Other questions Im not sure how to answere.
very helpfull video! only question i have. if you shoot in HDR and people are moving will it not make them blurry?
Good question. It depends on the camera and software you use to merge them. Most modern cameras dont produce ghosting.
Nice job. What software are you using to publish your tours to GSV? Also, have you had any problems with the arrows pointing the wrong direction after Google processes the tour?
I'm using GoThru, but there are many other great options. I'll go into that probably in the next video.
I did have that issue when publishing with the GSV app, but not after using third party apps.
What kind of topaz processing do you use for Z1?
I don't have Z1, but I recommend DeNoise AI. Just don't do too much, the pictures will look artificial. Good luck
Excuse Me, when will you continue making Videos
Hi, and thank you for the question. I would love to make more videos, but have had to prioritise other things. Hope to get back on track soon. Thank you for your interest.
@@streetvieweysteinn your welcome sir, Thanks for your Reply
THX to share this video with us! When I upload panos on Street View the location of the various shots can be choosen and the compass can be rotated. At this moment it is a terrible mess. I must be doing something wrong. Do you have any advice?
Sorry for late reply. Are you uploading through the app? I suggest using a third party application like GoThru or Panoskin.
Street View Eysteinn Thank you. I am using Panoskin now and learning how to work with it!
This was absolutely awesome!!
How you do charge?
Depends on country

what foot do you use in the video?
Manfrotto Nanopole
Great tutorial! Question. When using the Insta360 One X, can you use Insta360 stitcher software and upload it directly to Google Street View? Or is this software only compatible with the Insta360 Pro 2 camera? Thank you
Thats only for Pro and Pro 2 :(
All good have both! Thank you
Cheers from Brazil! Thanks you for this great tutorial. Just started 360 photograph, planning to integrate it with 360 drone shots. Just like another commenter, I'm having issues with GSV directions when uploading straight from the app. Also when you take your first photo is it in the middle of the street to connect with the indoors? Mine doesn't connect to the street. Thank you a lot.
I do connect my outdoor shots with the indoor. They sometimes connect to the google car, but that's just luck. I never use the app to upload, it's not very user friendly. I have a video coming up next week where I show my workflow of uploading to google.
@@streetvieweysteinn Thank you again, looking to your next video.
@@streetvieweysteinn what is Google Car please ?
@@osamazaina2012 Its a fleet of cars that are owned by Google and drive around cities around the world and take 360 photos and put them on Google Maps. Also known as Google Street View Cars.
@@streetvieweysteinn hello Fellow again, can we please be in touch via FB messenger ? I need to understand things more please. I live in Amman Jordan and no are experts here to ask them. SV thread is kinda strange to people here ! They don't know it. Please if you are interested we can contact fast chatting !😎
My FB ID is ( Osama Zaina )
I will appreciate your help when I am not understand a thing .
Thanks Sir
Hi Godan can i ask you a Question is there way I can get google street pano legally ? Thank you
Downloading them? No
Can you show us how to post the images please? You got everything except that 😭😭😭
Check my channel, I did two videos on that topic 😭😭
Street View Eysteinn haha yea my apologies I saw your panoskin your, (just to be clear) there is no free workaround for these GSV tours correct?(maybe uploading from GSV app on phone or desktop free)?
@@SebastianRocks1234 The GSV app is free, but it's difficult to use. I suggest using Panoskin where you can upload one tour per month for free. Anything more then that and you should switch to GoThru.
I guess it's better to capture keeping a camera on the head and then remove yourself as a pole in photoshop later, if there is so many ppl around you are risking falling and breaking it down or just stealing by someone so no point for hiding yourself.
I did try that, it makes the camera unnaturally high and a large footprint to remove later. I was never scared of it getting stolen, but in case you are I suggest shooting when the business is closed.
