Role Title: Exocentric Video Recorder

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.

Requirements

You must already own or have access to:

A compatible action camera capable of producing a trailing third-person view with a minimum resolution of 720p
Mounting hardware capable of achieving this perspective, such as a selfie stick, backpack mount, back-mounted rig, or vehicle camera mount
Examples of the recording style we are after:
[Link 1]
[Link 2]

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

Examples of compatible third-person mounting rigs include:

Insta360 Third-Person Backpack Mount and other harness-mounted extension systems.
Owning a compatible backpack or vehicle mount is a plus and may let you start collecting sooner.

Third-Person Camera Setup

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
