Role Title: Vlogger (Insta360, DJI Osmo, GoPro MAX)
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging expert Vloggers to contribute to a cutting-edge customer project focused on capturing high-quality, naturalistic video data using 360° and action cameras. 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 through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Contributors will record themselves performing everyday activities across indoor, outdoor, and vehicle environments using compatible equipment, providing crucial video resources for advanced AI research.
Scope of Work
Capture a diverse set of continuous video clips (minimum 60 seconds each) of everyday activities in a range of environments, including indoor, outdoor, and in-vehicle settings.
Consistently utilize compatible 360° or wide-angle cameras (e.g., Insta360, DJI Osmo, GoPro MAX series) with at least 170° FOV and 720p resolution, ensuring stable, third-person perspective according to project standards.
Implement appropriate mounting solutions, such as backpack or vehicle mounts, to maintain a clear third-person view where your entire body and surroundings are visible throughout each activity.
Follow provided guidelines and instructions for camera placement, activity selection, and safety to ensure data consistency and collection integrity.
Document, organize, and submit video files in accordance with project specifications, ensuring all deliverables meet technical and quality requirements.
Communicate proactively and clearly in both written and verbal form regarding progress, questions, and any technical challenges.
Adapt to occasional updates in collection tasks, environments, or technical requirements as defined by project needs.
Compatible camera examples include:
Insta360 X3, X4, X5, X6
DJI Osmo360
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 Tasksmay 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
