Orbit Shot
A shot that circles the subject — the drone arcing around a house, or a phone circling a kitchen island. Constant radius, constant speed, subject centered.
On DJI drones the POI mode automates it; handheld, the trick is small steps and a fixed distance, like walking a circle drawn on the floor.
Why it matters for your listings
The orbit is the most-watched move in listing aerials because it shows three dimensions in five seconds. One good orbit per listing, minimum.
