I’ve owned a Theta V camara for just over a year. I love cycling on the -voies vertes- (“greenways”) in France (These are old railway lines converted into a cycle path). I would like to take advantage of my bike rides to create blue lines. To avoid producing too large amounts of data, I thought of using the interval shooting of my theta V. After which I will use Gothru to produce blue lines.
In a previous post (THETA SC2 - No Auto exposure or GPS Updates during Interval Shooting) I read that there’s no GPS Updates during Interval Shooting. I also noticed the lack of GPS update between the photos during a bike ride, photos are tagged with the location of the first shot ((The firmware is up to date on my Theta V).
Do you know a way to fix this problem?
Do newer cameras (Theta Z or X) work the same?
The THETA X can shoot 8K video and Google Street View Studio can convert the video into images for blue lines.
For the V, you need to use a mobile app that can run a repeat script and take individual pictures instead of interval.
I have not used the app below, but something like this may work.
There are several posts about using these types of automation apps on both iPhone and Android, but I have not used any of them.
Over the summer, we had a summer intern write a mobile app to do the interval shooting with GPS per image. Unfortunately, this was the 14th app that @jcasman assigned her for the summer and she didn’t finish it before school started.
