Garage & DIY Video Capture — United States

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 the United States. Pay is $15/hour USD, fixed flat rate, paid via direct deposit (ACH) on a bi-weekly cadence. US contributors typically run two to four captures per week and complete the first paid batch within 7–10 days of approval.

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.
