In this WGAN-TV Podcast, guest host Tom Sparks, Founder and CEO of Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group), field-tests the Giraffe360 GO Camera in a real-world warehouse environment — walking through the scanning process, testing still photos, and reviewing the final deliverables.Tom captures multiple scan points inside a large warehouse on Mare Island, California, using the Giraffe360 GO Camera. Scans take around 58 seconds each, and the camera’s SLAM-like behavior allows it to record measurement data while being carried — enabling floor plan generation with minimal scan points. Tom uploads the project to the cloud later that day and receives the completed 3D tour, floor plan, and still photo by the following morning.---The Giraffe360 GO Camera is designed for real estate agents who want an easy-to-use, all-in-one camera for creating professional-looking property tours without needing extra devices. In contrast, the Giraffe PRO Camera is built with the advanced features and control that real estate photographers expect — making it ideal for high-volume professionals seeking refined results and maximum image quality.---Tom's final verdict? The Giraffe360 GO delivers a fast, user-friendly workflow without needing a tablet or phone. He finds the 12MP still photo useable, the ANSI 765–compliant floor plan impressive, and the 3D tour polished. However, he suggests slower transitions and Ken Burns-style effects in the auto-generated video for better viewer experience.WGAN Special Offer:==========================================================================Two Giraffe360 Special Offers for WGAN CommunitySpecial Offer 1 - Giraffe360 Pro Camera (for real estate photographers):✓ Get early access to the new Giraffe PRO Camera - WGAN exclusive 60-day trial offer – just $123 per month - Be among the first to try the all-new Giraffe PRO Camera as it officially launches.

In this WGAN-TV Podcast, Guest Host Tom Sparks, Founder and CEO of Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group), showcases a real-world head-to-head comparison: the Fotello AI-powered photo editing platform versus a traditional human editor — with insights from REALTOR® and professional photographer Bruno Versaci.Tom uploads 195 bracketed images to Fotello, enables preferences like sky replacement and auto perspective correction, and receives a full gallery of edits within minutes — including a quick preview in just 4 minutes. Bruno evaluates the results and gives Fotello an A for quality, noting the crispness, vibrant tones, and impressive window pulls.Key takeaways from the episode:✓ Speed + Quality: the Fotello edits are agent-ready fast — making urgent listings possible in under 30 minutes.✓ Customization Options: Post-edit controls inside Fotello allow fine-tuning like contrast, exposure, and image style presets (e.g., Airy, Natural, Deep).✓ Human vs AI quirks: Bruno points out subtle issues like inconsistent wall color rendering (white versus peach) and missed cable removal — but he also notes that the Fotello revision request feature makes corrections easy.✓ AI tools evolving fast: New features include adding realistic fireplace flames and screen images to blank TVs — previously requiring Photoshop.✓ Cost efficiency: For high-volume shooters, Fotello can cut editing expenses by hundreds per month — and Fotello will price match your current editor.Bruno emphasizes that while he sometimes uses Photoshop for fine details (like removing cords or furniture imprints), Fotello saves time and delivers impressive results — especially for agents and photographers with tight deadlines.Catch all WGAN-TV Podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or visit: www.WGAN-TV.com

WGAN-TV: Matterport Pro3 Camera-Understanding the Three T-Mount AdaptersSummary for Matterport Service Providers Using a Pro3 CameraIn this episode of the WGAN-TV Podcast, Matterport Pro3 expert Mike Vorce of MatterFix.io breaks down the key differences among the three known versions of the Matterport Pro3 T-Mount tripod adapters. He identifies two official versions—both with stainless steel pins—with the latest version distinguished by a flat section near the clasp.These are considered safe for regular use. However, Mike issues a strong warning about a third, unofficial version featuring a brass pin and internal screw prone to failure. This version, believed to be a beta unit that escaped destruction and is now circulating via sites like eBay, can jam inside the camera and potentially damage the mount or camera internals.Mike also provides practical guidance on identifying T-Mount issues in the field, including what to do if your mount is stuck or you encounter an “unstable” error during scanning. He explains how to assess mount tension, alignment, and grab-arm function, and even offers a basic adjustment tutorial using a T15 Torx tool. Importantly, he emphasizes proper seating of the mount to avoid scan errors or hardware damage. If problems persist, Mike recommends swapping out the T-Mount or tripod to isolate the issue—or reaching out to MatterFix.io for expert repair.For techs using or buying secondhand gear, this video is a must-watch to avoid costly downtime caused by a defective tripod adapter.
