Mount your ONE R (360 build) onto the Extended Edition Selfie Stick

Extend the selfie stick to its maximum length

Your subject can follow ONE R’s movement with her eyes.

Step 3: The Edit

(2)Tap "Edit". Select "Trim" and swipe the timeline to cut your clip.

(4) Swipe back to the beginning of the clip, position the sky in center-frame and add a key frame. Toggle the field of view to "Wide" and adjust the rotation axis to 160°.

(5) When the camera approaches your subject, add another key frame and adjust the rotation axis to 25°.

(6) When the camera is just past your subject, add another key frame and adjust the rotation axis to -20°.

(7) At the end of your clip, reframe so that the sky is in the same position as the beginning and add a key frame. Toggle the field of view to "Wide" and adjust the rotation axis to -175°.

The angle of rotation of each key frame can be adjusted according to the actual picture taken.

(8) Export the material, tap "Stories”—"My Stories”—"Create a Story”—"Phone album”. Select the corresponding material. Tap “Cut”, then “Copy” to duplicate the clip and save and export.

Tips:

1. Avoid shooting where high buildings will block the sky. The shooting site should also be wide enough to facilitate shooting with the Extended Edition Selfie Stick.

2.Try calibrating the gyro if you’re experiencing abnormal rotations or shakes while shooting.

Here’s how to calibrate the gyro.
