See FAQ Taking the photographs for your Virtual Tour is easy. It should take you 10 minutes per room, or vista, that you photograph. Most of that is for planning and setup.
Tripods are good.
They help you shoot evenly spaced photos on a level plane. The steadier the photos, the better the Virtual Tour. You can also choose to show your deck or view from the balcony instead of a room. Figure out where you want to begin and where you will end. For large rooms, stand in the center.
