360 Walk Best Practices

  • Ensure you accurately set the start and end locations of your walk to help with alignment and path accuracy.

  • Hold the camera close to you and above your head using a selfie stick or helmet mount.

  • Hold the camera in one hand and keep your arm steady to ensure an accurate path and high-quality images.

  • Walk at a steady, moderate pace to ensure consistent data capture.

  • Ensure the area is well-lit for optimal image quality.

  • A recording must only cover one floorplan. To capture more than one level, record one video per level.

  • When turning around in a small room or going around a corner, avoid pivoting. Instead, walk in a small arc to maintain smooth motion.

  • Keep videos to less than 5 minutes. For large areas, divide the space into smaller sections and record one video per section.

  • Best used for interiors from framing through finishing. For site, slab and foundation use, we recommend capturing 360 photos instead.

  • Always follow site safety protocols and be aware of your surroundings while recording.
