I really like working with Asteroom I really like working with Asteroom. Not only are they very friendly and nice, they give really clear and concise guidelines in what they want from me. The software that I use to produce the 3D tours and desk appraisals works really well, is very complete, and makes my work much easier - plus, I haven't encountered any bugs. [Added: I wanted to add that I started shooting virtual tours before Asteroom expanded into desk appraisal, shooting real estate with a number of different realtor agents. At that time, I was using a Ricoh Z1, which I initially continued to use as they expanded their business model. At one point, I decided to try using my iPhone with their fisheye lens and Bluetooth rotator. I was amazed that the quality of the shots I was getting with that combo was both equal to my Z1, but waaayyyy easier and faster than the Z1 > Lightroom > Asteroom web page. The other point I wanted to make is that there is sometimes a lag between the shoot and getting paid, but it's always faster than getting paid by the agent. I may get paid slightly less than I do with an agent, but the lower hassle and faster turnaround makes it all worthwhile.] So all in all, I would rather work with Asteroom than with any other similar service.

Terrible Service After you spend time setting up your tour, they butcher the entire thing and ask you to accept it. I complained about how they changed my room entrances and the camera is facing a wall. I then fixed it myself and the next day they had put the first view to each room as facing a wall or corner. So stupid!

If you can take a picture with your phone..… If you can take a picture with your phone and send it to a friend....you can use this system! Yes, it is that easy! ....the only additional thing you need to know how to do is how to set up your tripod! I can't imagine how they could have made this any easier! Actually, I can....because they did...they will create your hotspots and link everything together if you get the dollhouse!! The results were great and the 3D Dollhouse was awesome! The equipment is very inexpensive as well as the monthly plans. They also provide data reporting which is very useful. Extremely happy with this purchase and the services!

For those photographers or real estate… For those photographers or real estate agents looking for an economical alternative to Matterport, Asteroom isn't just more affordable its reliable. I've down two 360 tours in the last two weeks, one using a Ricoh Theta SC 2 and another using my Samsung Galaxy 10+ with the Asteroom Rotator. Setup on property was quick and easy. Set up tripod, hit the record button and let Asteroom do its thing. Processing the image? Simple, download the images onto your computer and upload them to Asteroom to stitch together your tours. Customize your tour with music or branding as needed. The share links are right there and you can have your tour live with this easy to use work flow. If you need to do 360 tours of property, you need to give Asteroom a look.

Deceptive Claims I signed up to be a scanner with Asteroom. The representative and their marketing ad stated that each assignment would pay no less than $75. I have the original advertisement just in case the information is changed. However, when I started receiving assignments, many of them actually start at $60. I also have the original email related to this. Also, I was told that assignments would be delivered to my email. But they never told me that I would be competing with other scanners for the same assignments. While I'm sure Asteroom is a good company, there was a lot of misrepresentation and deceptive marketing that has made me lose some respect for them.
