0-360 one shot, your opinion?

Hello everyone,
Teacher on vacation starting to turn hobby into a business. I recently purchased the one 360 and have not had a lot of success with the quality. I'm shooting with the Canon G5 and followed the directions. It does not compare to the stiched ones that I have done. I'm looking for any helpful advice that you might have!

My Software: VR Worx, Photoshop

Equipment: Manfrotto 3011N tripod
Manfrotto 486 head
I love the spherical panos but the price is high. If I can get better resolution with the one shot that would be great.

Hi;

There are other posts on this topic. Basically, the quality of any oneshot is much less than stitched images. I have used a couple different ones, and it's the same. "soft" focus, lack of detail, etc. You're shooting a reflected image off a mirror. That alone effects the image. Plus it has to be unwrapped, etc.

I use the oneshot when multi row/stitched images are not practical, ie, lots of movement (people, cars, etc.) Otherwise it's 18 shots stitched.
