Egocentric Video Data Collector: New Zealand (Insta360 X5 Required)

What you'll do

You wear an Insta360 X5 on your head and record continuous first-person video, about 10 minutes at a time, while you go about normal life in New Zealand. The ad lists cooking, cleaning, laundry, working or studying, shopping and errands, commuting and walking, gardening, drawing or playing music, and pet care as typical activities. It is explicitly not acting and not scripted: the aim is realistic footage from the wearer's own point of view, the kind of data used to train AI that has to understand daily human activity.

New Zealand shares Australia's $110/hour rate for this first-person recording job, the second highest of the six country versions. The ad is open to New Zealand only, so it is a separate listing from the Australian one even though the task and rate match.

You also log basic information per recording (the activity and the setting), follow the camera setup instructions, record in eligible home, outdoor and sometimes commercial settings, and complete training and sample recordings before full production starts. The work is flexible and project-based.

What you need

• Residence in New Zealand; the ad is limited to it
• Your own Insta360 X5 (the ad calls it required)
• Willingness to be recorded going about everyday routines and to follow the project's privacy, consent and data collection rules
• Time to complete training and sample recordings first

What it pays

The ad states $110/hour, one figure with no range. That matches Australia, beats Canada ($100) and the United Kingdom ($95) by a modest margin, and sits $10 under Singapore and well above South Africa ($40). The ad does not state the payment currency, method or schedule.

Worth knowing

Good:

• A top-tier rate for unscripted work with no experience requirement
• Anything from gardening to pet care to commuting counts as an activity under the ad

Less good:

• You must supply your own Insta360 X5, a real cost before the first paid clip
• Sessions are about 10 minutes of continuous footage each, and the ad does not say how many hours of work are available
