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.
Your full body should remain visible throughout normal movement without frequently leaving the frame.
Handheld selfie sticks, chest mounts, shoulder clips, and stationary tripods do not meet the required third-person perspective.
Expected Recording Tasks may include:
- Natural everyday activities
- Indoor and outdoor activities
- Walking and moving through different environments
- Vehicle navigation and driving-related recordings
- Other similar real-world activities provided in the collection instructions
For vehicle navigation tasks, the camera must be securely mounted to the vehicle.
Recording Requirements
- Capture a variety of activities and environments
- Each continuous clip must be at least 60 seconds long
- Record at a minimum resolution of 720p
- Follow the required camera position for each assigned task
- Keep the relevant activity and surrounding environment consistently visible
- Follow all provided recording and safety instructions
Examples of recording style we are after:
- [Link 1]
- [Link 2]
Compensation
- Rate: $20 per hour of approved video (PPT)
- Payment is based on the duration of video that successfully passes quality review and is accepted for delivery.
Start Timeline & Availability:
• Roles are being filled with immediate availability, with your starting time dependent on the shipping time of equipment to your home.

Alex's experience on micro1A personal account, not a promise about your project
Alexruns this site and has worked on micro1 himself. Written 31 Aug 2026.
- Every interview I took used an AI interviewer, and some included a timed business exercise of around 25 minutes.
- On later applications, interview reuse on micro1 was often partial, and I still answered questions about one to three additional skills.
- I entered a requested rate for the job. One listing showed about $180 an hour. I requested about $160 and received the rate I entered. Those amounts are approximate, and this describes my application, not proof that a lower request caused acceptance.
- Onboarding and setup came to about 2 hours, with clear materials. Of the three platforms I worked on, it was the easiest transition into work. That is an estimate from my projects, not a platform average.
- On my micro1 project, Hubstaff showed time and mouse or keyboard activity, not screenshots, app names or website history. That describes what I saw, not every possible setup.
- I was paid for hours logged, once every 14 days, and I have not experienced late or incorrect payments. That was my arrangement.
One person's applications, not a promise about yours.
