Zillow 3D Home Tour With Insta360 X5: Full Walkthrough

Published by: Sparks Media Group | YouTube

The Insta360 X5 is now on Zillow's list of compatible cameras for Zillow 3D Home, and this video walks through the entire capture workflow on a real ADU listing — from mounting and pairing to finishing and posting directly to the listing. If you've been evaluating the X5 as an affordable entry point for Zillow 3D tours, this 14-minute field test makes a strong case.

The workflow begins with mounting the X5 on an Avella C324D Carbon Fiber Monopod, then connecting to the Zillow 3D Home app via Wi-Fi. From there, the video covers room-by-room panorama capture across a full ADU: entrance, kitchen, living room, hallway, bathroom, bedroom, closet, and two decks. Throughout, the shooter uses default camera settings with no manual adjustments — an important detail for photographers evaluating the X5's out-of-the-box usability on real listings.

Two practical workflow decisions get explicit attention: what to do when you appear in a shot (delete and reshoot), and how to handle rooms that need multiple capture points by adding panoramas within a room rather than creating separate rooms. These are exactly the kinds of field-level decisions that don't show up in manufacturer tutorials but matter during an actual shoot.

The full capture runs approximately 14 minutes, and the video concludes with posting the completed tour directly to the Zillow listing. A link to the actual published tour is available in the video description for anyone who wants to evaluate the output quality firsthand.

Better than the last 1" Insta360 I saw

Zillow doesn't require either side of the door threshold like matterport just good line of site between rooms/spaces

I really like the iFootage Cobra2 for a monopod quick release allows you drop it down to a high hat for table top or countertop use
