iGUIDE Planix Pro

The iGUIDE Planix Pro Camera is a unique and innovative tool designed for creating 3D virtual tours and accurate floor plans. Unlike conventional camera systems, the Planix Pro measures and photographs a space simultaneously, significantly reducing the time spent capturing information for your property listings.

Key Features:

1. Simultaneous Measurement and Photography:

• The Planix Pro camera captures data in real-time, allowing you to quickly create 3D virtual tours and floor plans.
• This simultaneous measurement and photography process streamlines your workflow, making it ideal for professional-level operations.

1. Robust Design:

• The camera’s robust design ensures consistent performance even in challenging environments.
• It was created with professional workflows in mind, providing reliability and efficiency.

1. Time Savings:

• Experienced photographers can expect approximately 25% faster shooting times compared to the previous iGUIDE IMS-5 camera.
• Newer users benefit even more from the speed advantage, especially if they previously struggled with data alignment.

1. 360° Panos and Auto Alignment:

• The Planix Pro captures full 360° panoramas in a single shot (unlike the IMS-5, which required three camera rotations).
• The camera’s auto-alignment feature magically aligns most panoramas on the floor plan during shooting, reducing manual alignment time.
• Post-processing alignment is also more efficient.

1. Image Quality Trade-Off:

• While the Planix Pro excels in speed and convenience, there is a trade-off in image quality compared to the IMS-5.
• Users may notice color casts (e.g., overly yellow yellows) and blown-out areas (such as windows).
• Exposure issues with outdoor panoramas may require reshooting.

1. HDR Modes:

• The Planix Pro offers several HDR modes to balance quality and speed.
  • Lower quality mode: Extremely fast onsite shooting
  • Highest quality mode: Slower but still faster than IMS-5 (though lower quality)
  • In-between modes provide flexibility

1. Image Quality Considerations:

• Commercial photographers may initially hesitate due to image quality concerns.
• However, for most clients, the Planix Pro’s image quality remains very good.
• Clients appreciate reduced shooting time without significant compromise in visual appeal.

Conclusion:

The iGUIDE Planix Pro Camera is an excellent choice for real estate professionals seeking efficiency without sacrificing essential property information. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just starting your business, the Planix Pro streamlines your workflow while delivering satisfactory results.
