General best practices

• Hold the qCam as though you are holding a coffee cup.
• Do not have the top camera aimed at the sun to prevent excessive light exposure.
• For best results, do a second pass and walk in rows that are perpendicular to your first set. You can cross the walked pathways to move to new locations without affecting the capture.
• When capturing, move at a brisk pace as you are walking the site. Ensure changes of direction are smooth, refrain from jerky hand or arm movements. Sudden or jerky motions may yield bad data.
• When at a point of interest, aim the device at the point of interest and orbit the point of interest while keeping the device pointed at that point. There is also a pin-drop button at the top left block of the capture UI which you can click to highlight that point of interest.
• Continue the process from area to area until you have completed a minimum of 1 minute and no longer than 40 minutes of capturing for the most reliable captures, making sure to click the Stop button before unplugging or starting new capture.
