Matterport Pro3 3D Camera User Guide

Matterport Pro3 3D Camera

Product Information

The Pro3 camera is a device designed for capturing 3D models of spaces. It comes with a magnetic lens cap, camera lens, battery, tripod mount, tripod, power button, display, LiDAR mirror, tripod mount socket, and a battery compartment. The camera’s rotational axis is aligned with the lens, not the center of the camera, which provides optimal capture when mounted correctly. The camera is Class 1 Laser compliant and contains Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Set up the tripod to a height of 4.5 feet (1.37 meters).
2. Screw the tripod mount tightly onto the center column of the tripod base.
3. Remove the Pro3 camera from its case by gently pulling the red tab and lifting it from the bottom of the camera.
4. Insert the battery by placing the camera on its side on a flat surface. Align the pins on the battery with the pins within the battery compartment and snap into place.
5. Mount the Pro3 camera on the tripod by opening the clamp on the side of the tripod mount. Align the tripod mount socket on the bottom of the camera with the top of the tripod column and lower the camera into place. Hold the top of the camera steady as you close the clamp to secure it.
6. Power up by pressing and holding the power button (~2 seconds) on the rear panel of the camera, beneath the display screen. Remove the magnetic lens cap.
7. Download the Matterport app for your iOS or Android device to start using Pro3.
8. Once the camera is done booting, the “Ready to Pair” symbol will appear on the camera display.
9. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on within your device settings and that the Matterport app has permission to use it.
10. In the app, open an existing job or start a new one. Tap the source selector button and select Matterport Pro3 to connect to your camera. If you don’t have Bluetooth enabled, you can manually connect to your camera’s Wi-Fi network (which will appear as its serial number located on the bottom panel of your Pro3) through your device settings.
11. When your camera and device are connected, the “Connected” symbol will appear (and time out to the “Ready to Scan” symbol) on the display screen of your Pro3. Additionally, Matterport Pro3 will appear above the camera button within the app.

Care and Storage

Transporting Your Camera
The Matterport Pro3 Camera is sensitive and carefully calibrated. Always transport your camera in a padded carrying bag or case and handle with care. If traveling by air, we recommend keeping the camera in your carry-on luggage.

Lens Care
Treat your Pro3 Camera lens as you would DSLR lenses. To remove fingerprints, use camera lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Always clean by first dusting the lens, then applying cleaner to  the cloth (not directly to the lens). The spinning mirror requires the same care.

Storage and Temperature
Do not use or leave your Pro3 at very high temperatures. The battery performance will be degraded and its service life will be decreased. The camera should be stored at room temperature with the battery removed.

Safety Precautions

Stability
Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly on a flat and stable surface. Personal injury or camera damage may result if your Pro3 overturns.

General Use
Do not open or disassemble the camera. The camera contains no user- serviceable parts inside. Only use equipment and accessories recommended by Matterport, and follow the setup instructions in this guide.

Rotating Mirror
The rotating mirror spins at high speeds both during a scan and for a short period after. For your personal protection and to avoid damage to your Pro3, keep hands, hair, or any other objects at a safe distance from the mirror unit while it’s rotating.
