Large Scale Central

360° Video Ride on the MM & BS RR

Take a trip around the Mt. Meterbox & Bare Sands RR in a 360° video where you can take a look around at all angles. Scroll or move your phone/tablet around to change the view.

This was my first attempt at a 360° video, you have to scroll or turn around to look forward. Best viewed full screen on YouTube app.

How come your video came out larger than mine, Ken?

Ken, my compliments for one of the best RRs I have enjoyed watching!

I give up. I tried adding s to http as john suggested. I tried the short URL and the address bar URL. I’m stumped. Does mine show up at all for y’all? does for me.

What is the secret sauce Ken?

Thanks Cliffy. Quite affordable option. The camera is 2016 model of Samsung Gear 360. Currently selling for around $67 shipped. It was not set to the highest resolution. It works best with a Samsung S7 or better, not my phone though. It does come with “Action Director” for PC which stitches the dual camera video into 360°. Took a very long time to process!

I will try another one after I clean up the railroad. My operating season is coming to a close in a few weeks when I migrate north for the summer. Gotta take more video to watch when I’m missing the railroad this summer.

My 360° video is the featured reader video in the current Garden Railways newsletter.
