2 Ways that I Create Tiny Planets
1) The video of the total solar eclipse was taken using an Insta360 x3 and then processed using the Insta360 Studio editor. You can find quite a number of 360 cameras from Insta360 and other manufacturers which will be able to create a similar effect for both photos and videos. These range in price from $299 for the Insta360 x2 to $5000+ for some extreme professional non-action camera models from Insta360. There is no need to spend this much in most cases as the x3 produces pretty good results for only $399; and if you are looking for something slightly better, the recently released x4 should have you covered for $499.
2) The second photo was taken as a spherical panorama using my DJI Mini 3 Pro and can really be captured with any photography drone. The editing was done with a software called PT GUI which allows you to select the Tiny Planet merging approach for a relatively seamless integration. In this photo, the earth looks good but the sky did not merge perfectly. It's possible that I could have spent some time to make it look cleaner, but this result was good enough for my purposes. I imagine this could be a pretty unique perspective for real estate photography.
There are obviously many other approaches to capturing the spherical panorama and then combining with the editing approach with PT GUI to create fantastic and more detailed tiny planets, but these 2 are the best that I have found for a first attempt!
