I've tried on various occasions to take some landscape panoramic photos and they always end up dipping in the middle. I know from the thread for photos by Pixel it can do very level panoramics but I can never get it to work. I line the dots up and stand still rotating my body to get the shots.
Is there a technique or am I missing something in the camera app I should set? Would appreciate any feedback that helps me improve the photos I take.

Care to share an example? Are you following the recommended way to take it by rotating your phone on the same axis and not your body? It's a little awkward but you can get some great results.

This is what I meant by the recommended way to take it.

use a tri-pod. very rarely will they come out great when doing it by hand.
No tripod and came out fine. With practice and good technique it can happen more often than not.

I cannot upload a photo, keep getting a 500 error. Image the horizon as a line goes ------___------.
I do rotate my body, but from posts it looks like that may be the issue. Rotate the phone seems the advice. I'll have a go this weekend and see how it goes.
Thanks for the feedback people.
Working here, definitely rotate on phone axis, rotating around my body also causes imperfections

Thanks for the feedback, doing it properly (move hand, not body) has improved my panoramics and I'm getting consistently level horizons.
Next time I should read the "Tips" when displayed

As I'm about to order it, I wonder if SO has it, or have used it, because I have some questions about the quality - is it blurred or blackened around the corners of the pictures, is the zoom adjustable, or 10x fixed. If anyone has sample photos I'll be thankful - with and without.
I don't know if it's OK to post the link to the shop, so just pictures. You know it anyway...

I think this is a stupid accesory. Better to spend the money in a camera..........
Yeah. I can buy a phone for 20$, a laptop, dslr, video camera and a watch. Why do i need a smartphone with a stupid accessory, as i can have a trailer loaded with things tbat do almost the same...
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk
I've bought one, I'll post some photos during the week =)
i bought one for my X1 a couple of years ago... it was garbage from day one. very impractical. the lens wiggled on the plastic phone case and so the build quality is just what you expect.
your $20 is better spent on a real point-&-shoot camera if you want the zoom capability.
any progress here? Just curious

DealExtreme usually get their hands on new products first. So if no one has bought it from DX, no one else have it.
here are pics using the lens [=
i got it after waiting 7 weeks for it to arrive from DX to usa.
its very nice probably more for outdoors which i havent tried yet but here are pictures with and without so you can see how it zooms in at 10x. the only downside is that you cant control the zoom its 10x fixed.
i zoomed in on the picture with the mushroom [=
Looking for a Hand held Gimbal that I can use both my phone and GoPro on. The cheaper the better but I understand I don't have many options. Any Ideas?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
You might want to explain what a gimbal is or why you need it and in what context you'll be using it. you mention gopro so potentially, it would be in a rugged environment or sports.
Just saying, if you want responses, clarify.
Yep, Also never heard of it...

I use a ikan FLY-X3 PLUS, It works great as long as you don't have lots of wind hitting the phone. Its better with my S7 or GoPro.

Gimbals are definitely not just selfie sticks. They're for producing cinematic quality video and are quite effective when used correctly. I've got a DJI Osmo Mobile that i was using with my S7 but I havent had a chance to try out the S8+ on it yet. I'm going to guess that it'll be pushing the limits on the motors for it though.
Anyway... just set it up for the S8+... Looks like it'll work alright but no way your gonna get it to work inside a case and you've basically got to adjust the thing to the limits of the device. I'm sure the weight and size will put stress on the motors and use more battery than normal, but it does work.
Sorry for the sideways pic:

Saw this on YT, nice side-by-side comparison of 2 gimbals, plus he has OIS on and off with each one. That's where I found out what gimbals are (as far as smartphones are concerned).

Zhiyun smooth Q, cheaper than osmo and can function comparable to it.
Have been taking night time pics of the same objects, this one was taken using Note 10+ and the same pics by OP6 and S10e are left far in the dust behind. The steeple here is being illuminated, the bottom part only catches some light from the street but the monument in front is totally shaded by a large tree.
Huge improvement but it takes a long time for the camera to process. It won't be easy getting night time pictures of moving objects like friends at the club or on the street.
The picture looks amazing

It's nothing major, I was just messing with the camera. Tinkering around. But I liked it for some odd reason.

it's really something to have a phone camera capable of doing all this stuff and still, the race for the best camera/phone continues, who knows what they gonna come up with next and then after that etc...etc
Some "live focus" studies, these pics are heavily downsized here - the originals are about 18MB each. I should use the last pic with some superimposed text as my personal greetings card for the holidays:

On whatever you want. You don't want that much of a zoom then would suggest the s20 or plus.

To save energy. Instead of walking far to the horizon you just zoom it in to see what's there
Duh... use it to look for "sharks" on the beach...
Realistically, I feel that 100X zoom is a little more of a "cool feature" that doesn't have any use due to the digital loss of clarity. However, I believe the improved optical telephoto could be used for catching photos of off-limit areas like protected wildlife zones, etc.
Reading a sign far away!

Anything!
- Would use it to rant about how unusably blurry and dull the outcome is.
I don't think it's going to be useful at all. But lossless 5x seems really good way of compressing the image. Looks like it's a ~100mm equivalent. Have high hopes for 10x hybrid too.
I'm probably going to use it just to show off once or twice and then never again. It'll only really be usuable in good light anyway
Probably only once or twice to show off just like Samsung did in the presentation. It is only a statement that they can do it but on the other hand I think that if the hardware & software is capable of 100x then 5x & 10x must be top quality.

A reviewer said to think of it more if binoculars when your eyes can't see the object. I do a lot of hiking and I think this feature will be awesome to see things that I'll never be able to get to.
I intend to use it at the Shooting range instead of having to bring my large spotting scope.
Perving no doubt.

To show off, it's grainy and probably going to be a nasty image, so really it's just to say I can do 100x zoom..if you and a tripod though and a clear day it would be interesting to see what would come out

Like this one a lot. A lot of odd colors in the image and it balanced it well (the green and magenta in the backdrop).
I'm quite impressed by a quickly taken nightshot (on a fast moving train, approx 80km/h). OxygenOS 11.2.2.2.
Ultra wide
I just got my phone yesterday and i'm now testing how well it performs. First impressions is that yes it can perform very well even in dim lit situations. As i always shoot RAW this one is shot as such using the Pro mode and then processed in Capture One Pro.
Pics are really looking great! Can't wait to get the device...
One more shot, this one from inside a local church. Shot in RAW and edited with Capture One Pro. There were so little noise i didn't even bother to remove it, just a bit of sharpening and keystoning to straighten the lines and then the usual adjustments with exposure, curves and shadows & highlights adjustments.

Would like to see some pictures of faces (with stock camera app). With my op7t, I was VERY disappointed with the pictures of my kids (with the OOS camera), very blurry and smudgy. Switched to GCAM and totally fine.

What setting you used? The hand artifact looks weird. I understand it is because of the movement (or a hand of a ghost of dead movie producer?), but how the hell it created this weird edge/highlight is beyond me.
