Purchasing hardware for AVATOUR hosting: Labpano Pilot One

We recommend buying a complete Avatour kit from us, but if you plan to buy your own hardware, here's what you need for a Pilot One setup.

For ease-of-use and quick deployment, pre-assembled and tested Avatour kits are available directly from us (contact sales@avatour.live for more information). However, if you want to acquire your own hardware, here's a list of the components you'll need.

1. Camera and required accessories

The Labpano Pilot One is a single standalone device, running the Android app directly. It would be the most advanced and latest 360 camera option for Avatour use.

2. Recommended Mounting Hardware

Most users will require a stand and mount for the camera. A good option is the combination of a mini tripod base and an extendable selfie stick, as linked below. However, any standard 1/4"-20 mount will work. See our article on alternate mounting options for alternatives.

3. Bluetooth Audio Device

While Labpano 360 cameras, do permit speakerphone-style communication from the device, the volume is low and the quality is not great. For all but the quietest environments, we recommend an external headset or speakerphone. We have tested dozens of different Bluetooth audio devices and we recommend the following:

4. Charging & Battery

You'll need to manage power for these devices. If you intend to operate longer than the ~80 min provided by either camera's standard battery,  we recommend using a mountable power bank piece that would go in between the tripod base piece and the Extendable stick.
