Described herein are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), systems, and methods for capturing panoramic images using cameras onboard a UAV. For example, an embodiment pertains to a UAV including a flight control system, a propulsion system operatively coupled with the flight control system, and an image system comprising navigational cameras and a gimbal camera. The image system is configured to capture a first set of images of a scene using the navigational cameras, stitch the first set of images together to create a first panoramic image of the scene, identify a flight plan for capturing a second set of images with which to create a second panoramic image of the scene using the gimbal camera, capture the second set of images of the scene using the gimbal camera, and stitch the second set of images together to create the second panoramic image.
