360° Video Recorder (Insta360 / GoPro MAX)

Role Title: 360° Video Recorder (Insta360 / GoPro MAX)

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging 360° Video Recorders (Insta360 / GoPro MAX) to contribute to a customer's project by capturing immersive, high-quality footage with leading 360° camera equipment. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform.

We are looking for individuals to collect third-person video across several real-world capture types, including movement through changing environments, vehicle navigation, and animal-mounted POV recordings. Recordings should focus on continuous movement, changing scenery, and natural navigation through the environment.

Camera Requirements

You must already own or have access to a compatible camera with:

- A minimum 170° field of view (FOV)

- A minimum recording resolution of 720p

Compatible camera examples include:

- Insta360 (Any model)

- DJI Osmo 360

- GoPro MAX, MAX2

- Other action or 360° cameras that meet the minimum 170° FOV and 720p requirements or supports reframing.

Mounting Equipment

You do not need to already own the required mounting equipment to apply.

Depending on the task, you may need:

- A rigid backpack, harness, or similar third-person mounting rig with an extension arm or pole

- A secure vehicle camera mount for vehicle navigation recordings

Already owning a compatible backpack or vehicle mount is a plus and may allow you to begin collecting sooner.

Reasonable equipment costs for required mounting hardware may be reimbursed.

Examples of compatible third-person mounting rigs include:

- Insta360 Third-Person Backpack Mount and other harness-mounted extension system

Third-Person Camera Setup

The camera must be:

- Mounted above and behind you

- Angled slightly downward

- Positioned far enough back to keep your entire body consistently visible

- Stable enough to maintain the required third-person perspective during normal movement

If using a camera with less than 360° FOV, the mounting setup must position the camera far enough away to keep your entire body in frame while also capturing the surrounding environment.
