How to Capture Stunning Exterior Spins with CloudPano Automotive App

If you are a Spin Reseller, you know how important it is to showcase the exterior of the vehicles you are selling. You want to capture every angle, every detail, and every feature that makes your cars stand out from the crowd.

But how do you do that with your iPhone?

You might think that using the .5x lens on your phone is the best option, since it allows you to fit more of the car in the frame. However, this also means that you capture more of the background, which can be distracting and unprofessional.

Plus, the .5x lens tends to produce lower quality videos, with more distortion and less smoothness.

That’s why we recommend using the 1x lens on your phone instead. This lens produces higher quality videos, with more clarity and smoothness. The car looks more crisp and appealing, and the background is less noticeable.

But there is a catch: you need to stand further away from the car to capture the whole vehicle with the 1x lens. This can be inconvenient and impractical, especially if you are in a tight space or a busy area.

So what’s the solution?

The solution is to use an external lens that attaches to your phone and enhances the 1x lens. This way, you can stand closer to the car, capture more of it, and still get the best quality possible.

We have tested two external lenses that work great with the CloudPano Automotive App and the 1x lens:

  • Xenvo Pro Lens Kit: This kit includes a wide-angle lens and a macro lens that can be clipped onto your phone. The wide-angle lens expands your field of view by 45%, allowing you to capture more of the car without sacrificing quality. The macro lens lets you zoom in on the details, such as logos, badges, or features. You can get this kit from Amazon here.
  • Criacr Phone Lens Kit: This kit includes a fisheye lens, a wide-angle lens, and a macro lens that can be screwed onto a clip that attaches to your phone. The fisheye lens creates a spherical effect that can be fun and creative for some shots. The wide-angle lens increases your field of view by 63%, giving you even more coverage of the car. The macro lens allows you to get close-ups of the details, such as textures, patterns, or materials. You can get this kit from Amazon here.

Both of these kits are affordable and easy to use. They come with carrying cases and cleaning cloths, so you can keep them handy and clean.

By using these external lenses with the 1x lens on your phone, you can create stunning exterior spins that will impress your customers and boost your sales.

But don’t take our word for it. Try it for yourself and see the difference.

To get started, you need to download the CloudPano Automotive App on your iPhone. This app allows you to capture and upload exterior spins in minutes. You can also edit, share, and embed your spins on your website or social media.

To unlock the full potential of the app and start creating spins for customers (and even sell software as part of your product suite), we highly recommend joining the spinreseller.com program.

This program gives you access to exclusive training, support, and resources to help you grow your business with spins. You will also get a commission for every spin you create and every software license you sell.

We have a user who created over 3,200 spins and generated over $75,000 for her business using our technology.

Wow! Could you be the next success story?
