The ground panoramic photo (pano) capture flow in the Ground App streamlines the process of capturing images with Insta360 cameras. This workflow improves the performance of panoramic photo capture and reduces the time spent between shots.
Overview
DroneDeploy provides a fluid capture experience that allows users to place pins and move to the next capture location without waiting for image transfers.
Instant pin placement: The photo pin drops on the map as soon as the Capture button is tapped, even while the image transfers in the background.
Continuous movement: Users can immediately move the crosshair to frame the next shot because the UI remains active during the image transfer.
Spinner indicator: A spinner appears in the preview pane while the photo is being retrieved from the camera to indicate progress.
Why it matters
This workflow makes the capture experience faster and more fluid, matching the behavior available in legacy StructionSite workflows. This is particularly valuable for:
Power users capturing high volumes of panos
Customers transitioning from StructionSite
Field users operating under time constraints
