If you've opted for an equipment kit and post-production package, here are a few things to prepare for.
Gear Kit Inventory
The equipment is packed in a Pelican Storm Case that is easy to safely courier back and forth.
Inside the Gear Kit, you'll find six items:
Canon 80d Crop Frame Camera, Sigma 8mm Fisheye lens, Nodal Ninja Lens Ring, and SD card (all together)
Nodal Ninja R10 Panorama Adapter
Peak Design Tripod (both the tripod and ball head are combined, so no additional equipment is needed)
Canon LP-E6 Battery and Charger - this is a backup battery, there is one in the camera as well.
Lenspen lens cleaner
USB card reader.
Equipment Walkthrough, Setup, and 360 Capture
