Why opt for 360 motorcycle photography over video?
There is no denying that video footage is great for watching action, seeing a turntable in motion and getting a view of the product that cannot be appreciated with still images.
However, there are also several drawbacks to using video.
- For inanimate objects, there is no benefit to watching a video over simply viewing images.
- Compared to still images, videos use a lot of bandwidth, too, while sometimes offering little more than a series of pictures would. This can make videos slow to load on a website, and for potential customers visiting a mobile site, it requires a willingness to use data in downloading the footage.
- Should something be missed on a first view, scrolling back through a video is not quite as straightforward as with 360 motorcycle photography, often requiring a second watch.
Our dealer360™ player works in all the ways that a video does not, making user engagement an attractive proposition.
- The images can be panned and zoomed, while the click and drag rotation provides the ability to manipulate the object. A potential customer may choose to focus on aspects of the images that a video simply would not know to highlight.
- This increased engagement and interaction keeps users on the page for longer and increases confidence in the accuracy of the listing as 360 motorcycle photography improves transparency.
