Hey everyone,
We’re now opening applications to Data Capture Study 1: Household First-Person View — Daily Routines.
This project is focused on capturing authentic, unscripted, first-person video of everyday household activities using the Insta360 X5 head-mounted camera.
-> Study One
and to apply and sign our subcontractor agreement:
What We Need
We’re looking for providers who can capture approximately 60-minute continuous video clips of normal “day in the life” household activities.
These should feel natural and unscripted — not staged or overly polished. The goal is to capture real daily routines as they would normally happen.
Examples include:
🍳 Kitchen routines
🧹 Household cleaning and organization
🪴 Indoor plant care
💻 Leisure, technology, and home office activities
🎨 Indoor art and creativity
👨👩👧 Group/family routines with proper consent
Required Camera Setup
You’ll need an Insta360 X5 with a head-mounted setup using an Easy Clip or hat clip.
Required settings include:
- Freeframe mode
- Single-lens
- 4K resolution
- 30 FPS
- MaxView 170° FOV
- Standard filter
- Auto white balance
- Horizon Lock off
Don’t Let the Gear Stop You
If you don’t already have the Insta360 X5, this may be a good opportunity to rent one, borrow one, or buy one temporarily on a payment plan while this project is active.
If you don’t have the head strap or hat clip mentioned in the scope of work, I would buy one right away. It’s less than $10 in many cases, and it can unlock this project for you.
This is one of those opportunities where being ready early matters.
Priority Work Assignment
We’re going to start with 200 videos and ramp up from there over the coming weeks.
If you want to be considered first for this work, email me at zach@cloudpano.com, and CC support@cloudpano.com, ali@cloudpano.com, danny@cloudpano let us know that you’re down to participate in this paid study. In your email, include:
- Confirmation that you have or are getting the required head strap / head mount
- Confirmation that you have access to an Insta360 X5 or are planning to get one
- Your quote per hour for simple at-home “day in the life” routines
- Comment below here when you have sent it over so we can check.
The people who email us with this information will be the first group we send work to.
Summary: Study One Apps are NOW LIVE. Its literally the easiest project... do life, record it.
