I have been wanted to try and do this project for a while and now I am stuck as I don't know what will be the best option for me.
I am after creating a device which allows me to shoot a full 360 degree image like the GoPro contraption below
I was wondering if the Arduino could power multiple camera modules at once and then I would transfer them to my laptop and process/ stitch them together on there!
Any help would be great as I have researched for days if not weeks and refuse to buy 6 GoPro cameras plus a $300 mount.
You would only need 1 camera that way and you'll probably be able to get higher resolution 360-pictures as when using 6 fixed cameras, zooming is hard with 6 fixed cams. Disadvantage of a P&T-mechanism is that you can't take a 360-picture instantly, you really need a multi camera system for that.
In the examples below a P&T-mechanism is used to make a time lapse movie, but you could use it to take 360-pictures as well and many examples of other pan&tilt mechanisms exist.
