5.4 Roundshot Image Bundler
After few hours of work with the VR Drive the memory card of your camera will contain a large
number of images belonging to different programs.
The Roundshot Image Bundler is a dedicated software able to group all images taken with the
VR Drive by project. This is a great help to reduce the image sorting time and to avoid image
grouping errors. It is also able to detect projects with redundant images (pause + redo) or
incomplete panorama sets (missing images).
Additionally, there is no need to export programs out of the VR Drive. The camera position and
direction is directly embedded in the images. The image bundler is able to generate the
correct XML file for every set of images.
The Roundshot Image Bundler is available for both Windows (64bit) and Mac (64bit) operating
systems. You can download the installer from our “club” web page:

Before using the Roundshot Image Bundler please make sure your camera is USB
compatible by visiting the following VR Drive compatibility page:

To use the image Bundler, the VR Drive needs to write camera position and direction
in every image metadata. It is therefore necessary to connect the VR Drive and the
camera with a USB cable.
It is also necessary to activate the “Write identification” tool in the USB settings as
shown below:
