Getting started and connecting

Find the camera, join its Wi-Fi, see the live view: how to get started with Pogimoti. Plus the home screen with tiles, bottom bar and menu.

On first launch, Pogimoti shows "Welcome to Pogimoti": "Three steps to your first timelapse move". You can find this help later under ⋯ → "Getting started".

Connecting the camera

Pogimoti home screen without a connection: your own moves "Lighthouse at dusk" and "Harbour panorama" at the top, the lightly tinted template tiles below, at the bottom the note "Not connected. Turn on the camera and tap Connect." and the bottom bar with Connect, New, Start and Arrange.
Before connecting: your own moves at the top, the templates below; "Connect" at the bottom left.
  1. Switch on the Luna and close the manufacturer's app. The camera only allows one connection at a time.
  2. In Pogimoti, tap "Connect" (bottom bar, left). The first time, the system asks for permissions:
    • Android: for "Nearby devices" and for notifications. Please allow both; the notification keeps a running move going (see Timelapse).
    • iOS: for Bluetooth and "Local Network". Please allow both.
  3. The first time, the camera asks on its display whether to allow the control. Confirm there; the app shows "Please allow the control on the camera display."
  4. Pogimoti fetches the Wi-Fi credentials over Bluetooth and joins the camera network by itself. Confirm joining the camera Wi-Fi once in the system prompt (iOS) or the Android dialog.
  5. The status runs through: "Looking for the camera …" → "Getting Wi-Fi credentials …" → "Joining the camera Wi-Fi …" → "Opening the session …" → "Connected: Insta360 Luna Ultra". This typically takes 10 to 20 seconds.

Once connected, the camera's live view appears below the tiles; you can switch it off via ⋯ → "Live view". "Disconnect" ends the session.

Pogimoti home screen after connecting: the tile "Lighthouse at dusk" is selected with an orange frame, below it the live view of a lighthouse on a pier with the sun low on the horizon, the line "Lighthouse at dusk · 3 points · 3 s · 29:36 min → 20 s video" and the bottom bar with Disconnect, New, Start and Arrange.
Connected: the selected move, with the camera's live view below.

About the camera Wi-Fi: as long as Pogimoti is connected, the phone is on the camera's Wi-Fi, which has no internet access. That is normal.

Denied a permission by mistake? On the iPhone, Bluetooth and "Local Network" can be turned back on under Settings › Pogimoti; on Android, the Bluetooth permission under Settings › Apps › Pogimoti › Permissions.

The home screen

Every tile is a move: your own at the top, the lightly tinted templates below. A tile shows, for example, "2 points · 2 s · 18:04 min → 18 s video": points, interval and move time, plus the length of the finished video.

  • Tap once to select a move: the tile gets an orange frame, the line below the live view shows its values.
  • Tap again to open the editor (see Planning a move).
