DESIGN OF AUTOMATIC ARDUINO BASED 360° AERIAL GOPRO PANORAMA HEAD FOR DJI PHANTOM 2

Abstract

Panoramic photograph is one of the few techniques in photography field where we can get panoramic photo using specialized equipment and software. Some people say that panoramic photography is a wide format photography. Panoramic photo gives another prespective of a picture. Panoramic photo let you see a picture in 360 degrees field of view. In this era, by designing or programming devices with Arduino and connect it to the several component such as motor stepper, compass module and, micro servo, photos can be made. Not only designing and programming but also it should be flown by a drone. Compass module is a device that can digitally read and calculate magnetic field from the earth. Motor stepper is a combining of DC motor and servo , because it can spin like DC motor but it has high accuracy like servo motor. We need micro servo to pushing the shutter button of the camera. Motor stepper should be working together with compass module in order to get the “target”. micro servo should be pushing the shutter button of the camera after the target is reached. This device can make 360° aerial photos panorama easy to get.
