Garage & DIY Video Capture — Canada

As a Garage & DIY Capture contributor, you record first-person video of vehicle maintenance, tool use, hobbyist projects, and workshop tasks. The data trains AI systems for power-tool safety, vehicle diagnostics, and home-improvement assistants.

Scenes include oil changes, basic auto work, woodworking, electrical projects, and tool storage organization. A typical session is one project, 30–90 minutes long.

Strong fit for hobbyists, gearheads, and anyone with regular workshop time.

This variant is open to contributors based in Canada. Pay is $10/hour USD, fixed flat rate, paid via international wire or Wise transfer on a bi-weekly cadence. Canadian contributors typically run two to four captures per week.

Claru contractors are independent — no fixed hours, no minimum commitment. You take captures that fit your schedule and skip the ones that don't.

FAQ

Do I need expensive tools?
No — we need real-world tool use, not professional setups. A basic socket set, drill, and saw covers most briefs.

Can I record dangerous tasks like grinding or welding?
Only if you have the safety equipment you'd normally use. PPE in frame is a feature, not a bug — we want realistic safety practices captured.

How much does Garage & DIY capture pay in Canada?
Canadian contributors are paid $10/hour USD flat, via wire or Wise, bi-weekly.

When do I get paid?
Bi-weekly. The first batch typically lands 7–10 days after your first approved capture.
