3 Matterport Scanning Methods for Virtual Real-estate Tour & Site Scan (feat. Insta360 ONE X2)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- I have been meaning to showcase Insta360 ONE X2 usage on Matterport as I have been using it all the time for site scanning and real-estate virtual tours. I finally got around doing so on this video, and even got to compare 3 scanning methods and I wanted to test all of them out. I hope it is useful for you to make scanning method decisions. Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts!

great video! thanks for the help exactly what i was looking for!
Thank you!
Very informative very detailed definitely learned more than one thing.
Thank you!
Excellent video man !! Thanks for sharing will keep up with your channel and new content, please keep sharing about tricks and tips on 360photos for real estate
Thank you!
I did real estate tours with an insta360 One X. I went to a music store and bought a microphone stand (with a heavy round base), ordered an adapter for the screw mount (mic stand to camera mount) and used that as a tripod. It adjusted up and down....Way more stable and I didn't have to worry about the fear of it falling over / tipping when I step out of the shot to capture an image. Plus way cheaper, the microphone stand was like $25 VS. Hundreds of dollars for an expensive tripod stand.
Yes! Nice solution. I have been reporting this method of mine as I often need to travel and do not wanna carry around mic stand with me ;)
I’m not able to update the filmware to capture 360 in Matterport
Great post, I wish I could see other post, Thank You
They are linked in the description!
Cant wait to try on my one x2
You will enjoy it!
Nice tutorial!
Thank you!
Hi Joseph, thanks for the review! Around 10'00" you mentioned including digital editing (virtual content) in a matterport workflow. Just wondering if you ever did that in a video?..
I saw matterport in action (borrowed a Pro2) a few years ago, and the question I had then was whether you could digitally 'clean up house' (remove stains on the walls, straighten a painting, etc.) before uploading--back then using Matterport controlled WF the answer was no, but now it sounds like you could. Cheers!
I have not made that video yet. It is possible, but remains tricky as this feature is only on Android Beta. Also, you have to model the entire space.
Joseph, thank you so much for this comparison! I've been thinking about getting the Insta360 One X2 to replace my Matterport Pro2 camera when travelling. However, the quality seems really bad compared to the Matterport camera. Do you know of a 360 camera that's equal in size but has better image quality than the One X2?
Keep up the great work!
There was a Ricoh camera that was better in quality. But Pro 2s are the best in quality although it is big and expensive.
Great video again! I wonder is there any image quality difference between one x/x2 and one r. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? And the theta sc2 on the other hand, is it a good option only for matterport compared to the insta 360 cameras? Thanks for the good work!
Thank you for a great comment with questions! I noticed image quality difference from ONE X to other two cameras. Also, for whatever reason, I could not get the images to auto-level properly on ONE X. It always showed some distortion. But the other two are free of those problems. I think ONE R and ONE X2 are ultimately same in terms of the quality. Just comes down to preference in form factor. Do you want modular that can do more than just 360? Easily repairable? (ONE R), or you are just doing 360 scan with simple mounting solution that fits easily in your pocket? (ONE X2). I have not had any experience with Theta cameras. so I can't comment on that.
@@JosephKim thank you so much!
you can do Method 1 and 2. Method 1 for getting sure it's aligned and than doing it manually for best image quality. Yes it's time consuming at the location....
Yes!
Great video. I need 2D/3D Revit drawings conversion from 3D camera, layouts/plans/sections and external elevations. What camera do you recommend. I was looking at Ricoh Theta Z1 360. I survey small properties, so 2 to 3 floors, 200m2 area. Thanks
I have not used Theta Z1 myself, but have heard good things about it. I'd look at Matterport's blog for quality comparisons.
Great video JK, how to make method 2? I mean uploading 360 photos without the capture app? I have one x 2 and iPhone
Currently, the Method 2 only works on Android with Capture app that is on Beta. Idk when they plan on implementing to iOS.
Awesome video. I couldn't get my One X2 to work properly with the Matterport App. Every scan, would get a disconnection error or something like that. I could get my Samsung S21 Ultra to work but not the X2
Weird. I have not had such issue. Is your One X2 up to date with the firmware?
Thank you for your very informative content of the Insta 360 X2. My question is would this device fit on the matterport axis tripod or is it specifically made for the M-Axis?
This device does not need M-axis, and M-axis is only meant for smartphones.
In a sunny outdoor scene ,the oneX2 quality of matterport is like shit.
@@maochiou2698 exactly. It is actually worse than vga
I would like to know if you could use your setup with stairs? I've seen the monopod legs would have to be adjusted to different heights on a Matterjport camera - do you think the monopod legs would be stable on stairs and captured effectively?
Yeah, I've used it on stairs many times. This specific leg also does not have to be fully unfolded. So, can be used on narrow treads too.
@@JosephKim Thanks, very helpful!
I’m planning to integrate this into my workflow for small renovation projects (scan to pointcloud)
Do you think it’s necessary for me to get an X3 or X4, or would the X2 suffice for this purpose?
Also curious if the cupix vista makes use of the Insta360 video resolution or does it use the photo resolution
I didn't see a huge amount of quality difference in Matterport going from X2 to X3. Matterport has gone back and forth in controlling quality of the scans from 3rd party pocket camera.
CupixVisa's quality is seemingly more correlated with the camera's capabilities.
X4 is rather fresh on the market, and I don't think either of the company supports it yet.
Can you do a video explaining and illustrating metaports
I'm not sure what you mean.
Morning, can you show how to do parking lots and an office complex?
Sure! I will put that in the list.
Hello I had some issues with certain scans so let’s say I am filming a two storey villa, I make a scan of the kitchen when the scan is complete the scan on matterport moves to the living room and let’s say after filming the whole villa and I click at one point downstairs it jumps to the second floor why is that happening?
Sounds like an alignment issue. You can rescan or shorten the distances to make sure it is aligned properly.
Hi. Great video!!
How do I upload the 360 photos I took with my insta 360 one x2 onto matterport, without taking the shots (10:28) with the capture app? And will it stitch and align into a tour as it does normally
Yes it will. And you have to use Android's Capture App beta feature.
@@JosephKim what if I have an iphone? do i just use the 360 app? im new with this device. can i connect to my phone with only blue tooth? it is a new construction home and there is no wifi
@@leaallison9712 you can just do the native matterport scan on iPhones too. The camera sets up the wifi for your phone to connect to.
Hi Joseph, thanks for the very useful and much required video. Much appreciated.
I have a question with regards to matterport and insta360 one x2.
Suppose we use the method 1 (using matterport purely) at a client's location where we can't spend much time, even its hard to shoot again and moreover our own time matters as well to start all-over again.
Unfortunately after the shoot, we get grains in most of the photos (which is very normal with this camera). So here can't we choose the jpeg pictures of this project that are already in our memory card after the scan is finished, edit them for lesser grains and better picture quality to upload a new space in matterport?
I've considred that too. But unlike the 360 photos (equirectangular) from ONE X2, the photos from Capture app is HDR+fisheye 360. Idk how that impacts processing. Also, ive got more reliable scales from method 1 as I think Matterport knows the lens distortion amount to accurately scale the image. Where as after the fact method has correct relative dimensions, but not necessarily correct scale (3-4" more off) this only matters if you are trying to measure from your scan.
@@JosephKim Sorry I didn't get you, what processing you refering to here that you said idk? Isn't it the same you did in method 2 for video or different? Overall do you mean method 2 is not useful for matterport over method 1?
@@asdwr I'm saying that you can do method 1+2, but not sure if you can port method 1 into 2.
@@JosephKim alright. I have somewhat understood. I ll try some workouts. Thanks for your time and prompt take up!
Hi Joseph, great content, i read that you can now scan to CAD and BIM with Matterport, but I haven't used it yet. I would like to see if it is feasible and useful, also if is something that can be used in professional businesses. Thank you very much.
Thank you! Yes, I've seen that too. Although, I personally can't justify the cost of 'trying' it out. Still waiting Matterport to show some support to me ;P
What is CAD and BIM? Sorry just learning about all this lol
@johnm24 they're construction softwares :)
@@Aline23 Thank you!
Can you share any Matterport tour you've made with the One X2?
my.matterport.com/show/?m=55txSt2kgyp
Hello! When I try to upload 360 images from another cam (eos 750d, made with ptgui), the images are only put in the 360 gallery. The app doesn't make a floor plan out of them. Did you get this to work?
This is only a beta feature on Android. And when you import, make sure you select '3D scan'. As to whether images from ptgui works or not, I am not sure.
@@JosephKim hmm ok thxn I dont know if I selected that, will check it out thnx!
It worked! I used my own ptgui panos and selected the '3d scan' llike you said and it all worked. I simply completely misunderstood the meaning of that option: after all I wanted to upload my own panos, not make a 3d scan. But what is meant is apparently: to make a 3d scan out of the uploaded panos... Hmmmm Well thnx anyway, I can now go ahead and use a dslr to make a tour.
@@josvanr nice! I'm glad
Is it possible to scan rooms with the free Matterport app and Insta360? Or does it need payed version? I just want to test it in one apartment.
Testing a project is free. Just can't share or keep more than active space.
Hello Joseph, how can I then share the virtual tour with a real estate professional, for example, so that they can embed it on their website? Is the virtual tour available indefinitely? Thank you.
Unfortunately, no. You have to keep paying the subscription and keep the project 'active'
Hi there, wish I would have seen this earlier I had 5 commercial properties yesterday and I used Cloudpano to put it all together took me a very long time and their plans are pretty unfair. Which brings me to this question how much does it cost to use this Matterport service? And how do you share a finished project? Does it give you a link or embedded link to share with clients? Ty so much, looking forward to your response. Thanks.
They have a bit different price model and may or may not work out to be cheaper. 5 property is $10/mo. Anything more, expect to pay a lot more.
Hi Joseph, thanks for sharing. Im trying to connect my Insta360 X3 with matterport but not working. How about your side working or not?
I don't think Matterport is supported on X3 yet.
@@JosephKim I got it thank you, let's see the update from Insta360.
@@sovannvoyager With the latest firmware Insta360 X3 now has Matterport support. I made some demo scans and if there is enough light the results are quiet good. This morning I shot this demo: th-cam.com/video/CkjTAFeG6zo/w-d-xo.html
Hey Joseph, great video! I have the Insta360 X3 & when I scan bedrooms where the light is lower, the quality really suffers. I was thinking of upgrading to the Insta360 One RS 1 Inch, but want to see how I can clear up the lower light shots with my X3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you just capturing 360 photo? Or actually using X3 with Matterport? I am not sure X3 is currently supported. In my experience, RS 1 inch does better in terms of quality, but it is not supported by Matterport. Also, the quality degrading you see on Matterport scans is actually done by Matterport. You can take bare 360 pictures off these cameras and they seem miles better.
@@JosephKim I'm using it with Matterport yes. It's now compatible. I've seen people do VR tours with the X2 and X3 & the quality seems really good. I believe the One RS is now compatible too. I'd rather not have to get a 2nd camera but I will if I have to. Definitely can not cheap out when it comes to real estate!
@@markkogan8576 okay, I will have to try this. Because the website says that they aren't compatible yet.
Hi thanks for the video please i need camera 360 for real estate video, I don't know which one I buy one X2 or one R or outher what you think better to buy
For real estate, I think One X2 is better.
@@carloberenguelrojo7498 the biggest downside of ONE R for real estate is the form factor. It requires a cage for it to mount to tripod, and there is no way of making it sure it is level.
where is the video where u linked virtual and real 3D area? :D
I was saying that's possible. ;)
Hello Kim, great video, but how can I upload 360 photos from insta360 apps to matterport capture apps? I can't find a way to do method 2 as you show.
Are you using Android?
I’m using ios, but is this function only available for android?
@@johnietran3520 so far, yes. Because it is beta feature and Matterport decided to include only in Android for now.
First of all thank you for this video.
It Seems when you wanna take pics and uploaded them you also need to have the space (points)
So how you do that cause if you need to do both in app and photos it will be time consuming
If you decide to do both, then it will take much longer.
@@JosephKim wow instant reply ❤️
I tried to make a space by just uploading the photos but I couldn't. Didn't get why but I'll find it out I guess.
Happy new year!
@@highlowproductions3134 make sure to do it on Android and it is a bit hidden feature.
thanks for the video, I have a question, will I be able to create floorplan using an insta 360 camera? and if yes can I have a file which is openable in autocad? Thanks
Matterport allows you to create PDF for a charge. It is not really accurate as you would use in AutoCAD in my experience.
thank you for your reply. do you have any video reviewing Cubicasa? Thanks@@JosephKim
@@faezalidousti no! I have not known what that was. I will have a look.
Hi! I really appreciate the video!! I actually have a big question, I want to buy a 360 camera and start scanning different properties for money but I dont get to understand how am I going to be able to deliver the 3D models to my clients if it is always on my Matterport account??
You must try it to understand.
You can create a free account per client under their emails.
Hey Joseph, urgent question! Any chance you can explain how you imported your 360 scans onto matter port. I tried but the 360 scans download as jpegs and not zip files and matterport asks for zip files. The quality is drastically better going through the 360 app and not the matterport app and I’d love to use it for my 3d tours, thanks!
Are you doing this on Android? Mine asks for JPG, not zip. Tap on where it says 'android camera', then 'import 360 images', then '3D scan'
@@JosephKim thanks for the reply, I am using a iPhone so that may be where it differs.
@@josephkearney8343 yes. You must use Android for that function.
Hey there! If I may add on to this question, would clicking 3D scan after importing 360 still allow for making decent floorplans that accurate? I know solely 360 won't work
Can you export the scene as 3d object
Yes, with additional fee.
Joseph, another awesome vid, tk u! If you had to buy a camera to offer virtual tours for clients using matterport, which would you choose between the Insta360 One R or RS, Insta360 X2, Ricoh Theta SC2 or a capable Android or iPhone? Or another budget option that I didn't mention? Tks!
I currently use X2. But there is X3 now. Just not compatible with Matterport yet. RS 1 inch edition isn't compatible either.
@@JosephKim ok good, the X2 is at the top of my list, I was just worried about comments saying the X2 is not good enough at times. Do you find you need to do a lot of post processing on the shots or do they usually come out fairly decent enough for a residential virtual tour
@@Soul_Lion so, Matterport doesn't allow you to change any exposure value. So, you are heavily limited. But, with Insta360 app you can control exposure for better images. Your mileage may vary depending on the scene though.
@@JosephKim ok got it, I can use the insta app to get the best images and then upload them to the matterport app as external panorama photos like you did in the vid right?
@@Soul_Lion yeah. But you must use android beta version. Which is tricky.
Hi Joseph.. I really enjoy your video its a great learning tool. I have a question, how do I upload the photos I took using my insta360 one X2 photos to Matterport. Thanks for your response :)
There is that setting in the capture app.
@@JosephKim and how do we get to that setting? I'm having trouble finding it...
@@mauana9759 are you using the beta version on Android?
@@JosephKim I have an iPhone, so idk what to do haha
@@mauana9759 I've heard that this fuction is currently only offered in Android beta. Sorry.
Hi, I have a question I really hope you can help me with. I purchased the Insta360 one x2 to use for real estate photography and all the interior photos come out bowed. Is there a way to fix that or a setting to keep it from happening that you can share with me? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Victoria
I suppose you are using one lense to a 'photo'? I think you want to use 'linear' mode to correct the bow. You can always use the application to correct the 'angle'
Did you manage to make a high-quality virtual tour using x2?
Hi haven't even done one job, but want to consider getting a cam which one do you suggest?
Also how do you market yourself?
Amd how do you charge for rent of residential and commercial?
Please help you seem experienced.
Thankyou
I'm not really experienced. I think ONE X2 or One RS 1inch 360 is the best. You must try things on your own and figure it out!
You such a nice helpful guy man keep it up,
Also you didnt say anything about marketing tips please.
@@sharat3490 because I don't really do this often :)
Amazing video. Thanks Joseph!! I am using same camera insta360 one x2, but my matterport virtual tour looks grainy, any tips?

@@Jay-ds7fq then, you really don't have any options.
Do you have to own a insta camara in order to use your phone for scanning?
No,
Can I import 360 image by logging in to matterport account on desktop, like that you have shown in 2nd method?
Nope, Matterport doesn't give you 360 images. You will have to get it from the camera.
What if i capture images from Insta360 X3 & then transfer those images to desktop for importing in Matterport.
@@anipr578 you can't import images into Matterport via desktop.
Hey👋🏻
How to install Matterport App on iPhone? There is no application in the AppStore 😢
Weird. Look for the 'capture' app.
@@JosephKim
Similarly, there is no (
There was an opinion that the application is not available in Ukraine, but friends from the USA and Europe also did not find the application in the App Store. There is also no possibility to download the application on the official website of Matterport
Can you find the app in your PlayMarket?
Can we do a blueprint of a house with insta360?
Nope. That would be quite more complicated.
which app is used for the android phone scan?
Called 'capture' from Matterport.
@@JosephKim wo that's great! Have been searching for something like this. Thanks a lot for the video(s) and the answer. :)
@@ePreneurs no problem!
How precise is this camera, if we measure for example the length and height of the walls compared to the real length. Have you compared that maybe?
I find it to be generally correct. But you will find it to be rather in accurate as it doesn't create flat surfaces. So, it is only a backup method for 'measurements'. Also, it is not function of the camera, rather Matterport.
@@JosephKim Thanks for the answer. What would you suggest in that case if I for example scan a real estate and want to measure rooms (length of the walls,height of the walls, surface area) i would transfer 3d object(from App) into a CAD program and use measurment tools, i am searching for a camera that has a lidar system detection and is accurate for this kind of things. So if there is a centimeter or few milimiters of difference from reality and a scan , that is not a problem. This is accurate enough for my kind of work and research.
There are a few services and hardware store near hat does such thing. iPad's LiDar sensor is being used for similar thing. I think Polycam is doing that.
You’d make a great Ventriloquism , just saying
Okay?
What's the accuracy like when taking measurements?
I wouldn't put it in my drawings, but good enough to get general ideas.
Ok thanks. What if you used a mettaport pro2 camera?
Can you do it more in depth? More for a simple virtual tour scan and go with this camera. Business is picking up and its time to tap into this field.
I have few more 'scanning" videos.
I have matterport app on my IPAD but I can't find any way to import 360 images. Was this function removed ?????
So far, it only works on Android.
@@JosephKim oh! Understood. I try to switch to my Android tablet. Another question: my tripod has a very small foot and in the 360 photo it is almost invisible, instead matterport keeps giving me a huge circle of blur at the Nadir. Can it be avoided?
@@Ginosergio. unfortunately no, it is because it is meant for their very big tripod for Pro series cameras.

That's weird. Are you doing this on Android?
@@JosephKim Hi, nop Ipad, but I was using 360 instead of scan it works now, only I have to do it one by one or it gets totally wrong.
How do you deal with sunlight? Like what if an apartment has a balcony, the camera catches the outside but leaves the room dark. I tried putting the insta360 right in the middle of the room and balcony door but still leaves the room dark and outside bright.
You can manually expose the shot.
