Introduction: A Minimalist Solution to Make VR Panorama
This is a minimalist solution to make panorama and VR picture, you just need one GoPro or Xiaoyi action camera to make a perfect panorama spherical picture.
Step 1: Design
i use tinkerCAD to quickly design this single camera panorama mount.
and I've uploaded it to the thingiverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1407440
Step 2: 3D Print
And i 3D print the single camera panorama mount with the following print settings:
Rafts: Yes
Supports: No
Resolution: 0.2
Infill: 25%
you can find 3D print files on my thingiverse in the last step.
Step 3: Shooting
Take a picture in each direction, and get six pictures.
Step 4: Other Device
You'd better use the wireless remote control and tripod to avoid shaking.
Step 5: Stitching
Step 6: View
I use kolor eyes to view panorama picture and video.
you can download kolor eyes from http://www.kolor.com/fr/kolor-eyes/.
Step 7: Pano View
Step 8: VR Mode
Step 9: Little Planet Mode
Step 10: Demo

Hey, great Instructable! My printer is allready running. :)
One thing i wonder: How did you find out the angles (horizontal, vertical, and circular) that the Gopro has to be mounted in? Did you practice try and error - or did you have some calculations?
