How should I prepare before shooting and creating a 360° virtual tour?

You've just created your Klapty account? Very happy to hear it! It's now time to create your first 360° virtual tour.


Rest assured, it's not as difficult as it seems!


How should I prepare before shooting and creating a 360° virtual tour?


If you are shooting virtual tours for commercial purposes, such as properties for sale, holiday rentals, or hotels, make sure the space is well-organised and tidy: clear away personal belongings, straighten the furniture, and open the curtains to make the most of the natural light.


As for equipment, check that the battery of your 360° camera (or your standard camera and smartphone) is fully charged, and ensure the memory card has enough free space.


For the best results, we recommend taking several photos if a room is relatively large, showing it from different positions and angles. Try to keep the camera at the same height for all shots to ensure smoother navigation.


Before you start, think about the logical flow of the tour so you don't miss any important areas. This way, you can fully showcase all the features of the location in 360 degrees.


If you need more information about equipment, please feel free to consult the equipment section here or get in touch with us to find the equipment that best suits your needs for creating your 360° virtual tours.
