Manual Uploading and Processing Walks

Have more questions? Submit a request

Overview

DroneDeploy allows you to manually upload Walk data through the web application. This process is useful if a mobile sync fails or if you prefer to manage 360 video files directly from your computer.

Before you begin

Ensure your 360 videos are in the correct format before starting your upload:

  • Insta360 ONE X4 and X5: Requires one .insv file per Walk.

  • Earlier Insta360 models (X3, X2, RS One, etc.): Require two .insv files per Walk.

  • Other 360 cameras: Require a single .mp4 file in equirectangular format.

Upload Walk files

Follow these steps to upload your Walk data:

  1. Log in to your account on the DroneDeploy website.

  2. Navigate to the project where you want to add the data.

  3. Click the UPLOAD tab at the top of the screen.

Align a processed Walk

Once processing is complete, you will receive an email notification. You can then refine the alignment on the desktop version of DroneDeploy.

  1. Select Walks from the Media panel on the left side of the screen.
