The following panorama image was taken using the "Camera" app on my Apple iPad mini 6, set for "Pano" mode. By rotating the iPad camera slowly and steadily on a tripod, I was able to capture a view that shows slightly more than 180° along the horizon.

I created a YouTube video that features a time series of three "Sky Lapse 360 © 2025" videos. All of the video clips were taken with my GoPro HERO4 Black action camera mounted on a "360TL" rotating timer. The camera was set for "Video mode / "Time Lapse Video" submode, using a resolution of 4K and an interval of two (2) seconds.

The sky was a mix of cirroform, cumuliform, and stratiform clouds. The first video clip shows the view facing north-northwest. The second clip was taken facing south-southwest to east, and the third clip was taken facing south. Notice the clouds were getting lower and thicker as a weather system was approaching from the south.
Tech Tips
GoPro action cameras don't feature a place for connecting a safety strap. The next two photos show a homemade safety strap for my GoPro HERO4 Black action camera.

The gray 1/4" wide cloth strap is looped around the black plastic center pin of a GoPro tripod mount. The strap is secured in place when the camera is bolted to the tripod mount.

I don't know whether my design for the safety strap is original, but I've never seen anything similar. Try it; I think you'll like it. At the least, I think you'll feel much better knowing your camera is secure in case of an accident.
