From the Micro1 listing
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 X3, X4, X5, X6
- DJI Osmo 360
- GoPro MAX, MAX2
- Other action or 360° cameras that meet the minimum 170° FOV and 720p requirements
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

- 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.
Requirements
- 360° Video Recording
- Camera Mounts

Common questions
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does Generalist work look like for a 360° Video Recorder (Insta360 / GoPro MAX)?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a 360° Video Recorder (Insta360 / GoPro MAX), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
360° Video Recording, Camera Mounts, Video Upload, and Equipment Handling are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 100 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $10–$15/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
