Hi everyone!

I need your help:

I have Canon R5 mark ii camera with cf-r20ep Battery Grip with Cooling Fan and RF 5.2mm f/2,8 Dual Fisheye Lens.

My goal: generate a VR 3d 360 virtual tour.

The method: take 5 bracketed photos every 90 degrees of rotation for a total of 4 3d 180 HDR photos and then stitch them together for 1 3d 360 VR photo.

I have a Dji rs4 pro gimbal that can do that, but it creates paralax since it doesn't consider nodal point.

So, after my own research I found a software for stitching " PTGui Pro 13", but still looking for device that can automatically take all the photos with preferably automatic leveling and would have nodal point setup.

The devices i found are:

1. GigaPan Epic Pro V System - but it is designed for time lapse as far as i understand and wont rotate around nodal point. Also on bandhphoto website one of the reviews says that the company is out of business since 2014.

2. Nodal Ninja Mecha System - looks like the only automatic solution available so i sent them an email asking if that will work for 180 lens..

3. Benro Polaris Astro / Pro - on bandhphoto website it got too many negative reviews ( the company didn't update the software for a long time)..

Are there any Canon experts who have experience with this 3d 180 lenses and tried doing what i do?

Btw, i'm not looking for anything too expensive. My budget is maximum $3000.

Thank you!
