For anyone not familiar with this product, it's a motorized mount that can be used to create stitched 3d panoramas.
It is not a stabilizer gimbal.
If you are truly thinking of creating a Matterport tour, don't buy the Axis. Don't even accept it for free. It is ungodly slow.

For free, you can just use your phone, handheld.

If using it for business, get a used Matterport Pro2 camera, or a compatible 360 camera.

I've been a Matterport photographer for six years and this device isn't worth it, it will do nothing but slow you down.

I have one rental house that I manage myself. It looks like I could pay $9.99/month while I have it actively listed for rent and use the service on zillow. Does anyone else have any experience with this? Thanks.

I believe they give hosting for one space at a time for free. At least that's how it worked before I upgraded. You should be able to create a free account, scan manually, and upload and host it all free.

This tool is awesome if you do many Matterport scans using a phone, but it's not necessary for doing just one space. It's not that hard to do it manually. If doing manually, I recommend using a pole and just hold the phone over it to make it easier to keep centered when spinning around it.

The "free" one is not public. You can host it but cannot share it.

Yes, you can share the free one. I created a new test account to verify it still works.

1. Upload scan
2. Log in and go to All Spaces
3. Click 3 circles on uploaded space
4. Click Share & Invite
5. Change it from Private to Unlisted or Public
6. Click Copy link

Ran into an issue ordering it online, but was able to call and they shipped it next day air.

Apparently it won't even work at all outside of Matterport. Someone needs to create an alternative firmware so this can be used without the Matterport app.

It would be awesome to just use your phone's built in camera app to take consistent photos that could be stitched into panoramas using 3rd party software. It could also be used to create cool time lapse 360 pans similar to how people use the Ikea rotating kitchen timer, especially if you could control the rotation speed.
