Lesson 3
Set Up the Gear
Clean the lens, insert the SD card, and lock in your tripod height.
Get your camera and tripod ready before entering the property.
A Clean the Lens
360 cameras have bulging lenses that attract fingerprints. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe both sides of the lens. A single fingerprint will blur an entire room.
B Insert the SD Card
If you are using an Insta360 camera, ensure a formatted SD card is inserted, or it won't save the scans.
C Set the Tripod
Mount your camera and extend the tripod to about 4.5 to 5 feet high (roughly chest level).
⚠️NEVER adjust the tripod height once you set it. If you raise or lower it mid-scan, the final virtual tour will feel like a roller coaster when people click through it.
