WGAN-TV: Matterport Pro3 Camera-Understanding the Three T-Mount Adapters Summary for Matterport Service Providers Using a Pro3 Camera In this episode of the WGAN-TV Podcast, Matterport Pro3 expert Mike Vorce of MatterFix.io breaks down the key differences among the three known versions of the Matterport Pro3 T-Mount tripod adapters. He identifies two official versions—both with stainless steel pins—with the latest version distinguished by a flat section near the clasp. These are considered safe for regular use. However, Mike issues a strong warning about a third, unofficial version featuring a brass pin and internal screw prone to failure. This version, believed to be a beta unit that escaped destruction and is now circulating via sites like eBay, can jam inside the camera and potentially damage the mount or camera internals. Mike also provides practical guidance on identifying T-Mount issues in the field, including what to do if your mount is stuck or you encounter an “unstable” error during scanning. He explains how to assess mount tension, alignment, and grab-arm function, and even offers a basic adjustment tutorial using a T15 Torx tool. Importantly, he emphasizes proper seating of the mount to avoid scan errors or hardware damage. If problems persist, Mike recommends swapping out the T-Mount or tripod to isolate the issue—or reaching out to MatterFix.io for expert repair. For techs using or buying secondhand gear, this video is a must-watch to avoid costly downtime caused by a defective tripod adapter. --- Transcript available in the We Get Around Network Forum www.WeGetAroundNetworkForum.com

Hi there, I am the digital twin of Dan Smigrod, Founder and Managing Editor of the We Get Around Network Forum and host of WGAN-TV Podcast. Procore plays a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality of Matterport digital twins -- integrated with SIMLAB STAGES -- by transforming construction coordination and communication with punch list items, for example, mapped exactly where they exist in a digital twin. Let's dive into one of the biggest challenges in construction management—coordination. Whether it's tracking issues or just keeping everyone on the same page, it's a lot. Now, imagine this: you've got your Procore data—Punch Items, RFIs, project documents — all embedded right in either a Matterport or a NavVis digital twin. That's exactly what SIMLAB STAGES does. Instead of jumping between platforms and scrolling through endless lists, you're seeing these issues in real time, within the actual space they affect. For instance, let's say there's a Punch Item tied to a specific room in a building. With SIMLAB STAGES, that item isn't just a line in a spreadsheet. It's mapped to its precise location, visually, in the Matterport (or NavVis) model. You click. You see instantly. You know what's going on without guessing or piecing it together manually. This kind of spatial understanding—it's huge. It takes something that could be abstract or buried in documents and makes it clear, tangible. And that's not all. Procore documents—images, reports, supporting files — are pulled straight into SIMLAB STAGES. No switching apps. No downloading or loading files. It's right there. This seamless integration doesn't just save time. It builds a much stronger connection between team members. When everyone's looking at the exact same data, at the same time, in the same context, decision-making becomes so much faster, and more reliable. There's less back and forth. Fewer errors. The whole workflow just clicks. And that's really the game-changer here. SIMLAB STAGES isn't just tacking on Procore. It's making it an intuitive, interactive part of the way you work. Now, let's talk about how this 3D digital twin visualization capability and real-time syncing actually redefine issue tracking. It's one thing to have a list of Punch Items or RFIs — great, a list—but it's another to see those listed items mapped exactly where they exist in a digital twin. That's what SIMLAB STAGES offers. It's issue tracking on Steroids. Think about this: instead of someone reading a description and guessing, "Okay, I think this issue is in the third-floor hallway, with SIMLAB STAGES, you're literally seeing it in a 3D space. The issue isn't hypothetical anymore. It's there — visually represented: down to its precise location. And that means less confusion, fewer follow-ups, and way more efficiency. What's even cooler? When you update something in SIMLAB STAGES—let's say you resolve an RFI or assign it: boom, it's automatically synced back into Procore. And it works the other way too. That's bi-directional syncing, and it's a game-changer. Everything stays aligned. No lag. No redundant updates. No manual cross-checking. The result? Real-time communication that pulls everyone — whether they're on-site or remote — onto the same page. Whether it's your subcontractors, your project managers, or your clients, everyone's collaborating off the same, up-to-the-minute info in the exact same context. It's real-time alignment at its best. And this visibility does more than just save time; it eliminates the missteps that happen when teams are stuck trying to interpret disconnected data. You can make decisions faster because, well, everything you need is right there in front of you — clearly. No communication gaps to slow things down. So, by embedding Procore's robust data into a Matterport or NavVis interactive 3D space, SIMLAB STAGES takes issue tracking from being reactive to being proactive — which is a seismic shift in how construction teams collaborate and deliver their projects. Now, let's dig into how centralizing project documentation in SIMLAB STAGES doesn't just make your life easier — it actually helps reduce errors in a big way. Here's the thing. When you've got everything — Punch Items, RFIs, documents — all mapped visually into a 3D environment, you're removing a ton of the guesswork. You're making sure everyone's on the same page, not just metaphorically but literally. It's there in front of them, tied to the exact location in the project to help avoid confusion. The impact of this? It's not theoretical. Construction teams can cut down rework by a massive percentage. Why? Because the documentation is accurate from the start. Punch Items are not sitting in some disconnected spreadsheet; they are right there in the Matterport digital twin or in a NavVis digital twin. So, there isn't a need for back-and-forth, trying to figure out, "Wait, which wall was this issue on, again?" By embedding this process into SIMLAB STAGES and syncing it with Procore, every move can be made with well-informed and spatially precise info. No double-checking, no fixing errors caused by miscommunication. You can just look, decide, and act—all in one sweep. That's powerful. And for today's construction teams, tools like SIMLAB STAGES are becoming less of a "nice-to-have" and more of a need. It's tackling inefficiencies that have been treated as just part of the business for far too long. Imagine what this kind of clarity and precision can do not just for one site but for an entire portfolio of projects. That's next-level construction management. So, see fewer errors, stronger collaboration, and a lot less stress for everyone involved. And to me, that's the real value here. It's taking something as complex as construction project management and making it not only simpler but smarter. And that's, well, a game-changer. On that note, we're gonna wrap it up.

Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:02] Welcome to The Church Front Show with Jake Gosselin and Matt Woltjer Jake introduces himself as "low voltage specialist" while Matt jokes about being the "Stream Deck guy" Mention of Church Front's website and the new "Toolkit" featuring gear packages and bundles Streaming Showdown Follow-Up [01:27] Discussion of Resi's response to their previous streaming platform comparison video Key issues identified by Resi: Tests were conducted on outdated firmware missing critical improvements Resi Mini encoder was configured at a much higher bitrate (15 Mbps vs. 4 Mbps) Jake's acknowledgment: "We messed up. We mess up all the time. Don't take everything we said as the final truth." Explanation of philosophical differences between streaming platforms: BoxCast prioritizes near real-time delivery even with occasional quality reduction Resi prioritizes consistent video quality with accepted delays Matt explains the challenges of recording comparison videos: "We recorded this video three times... you have to basically stop what you're doing, congest your network or cut the cable..." Volunteer Tech Culture Discussion [11:34] Response to a social media post about a 26-year tech volunteer who was abruptly dismissed The volunteer had served for 26 years and was told by a new pastor (8 months at the church) they were "going in a different direction" with no further explanation Perspectives from both sides: Leadership should build relationships and provide clear communication about vision Volunteers should maintain open communication and approach changes with humility Matt's insight: "If you build good relationships with your people, hopefully it never comes to this type of a post... if you can do it through that element of respect and love and relationship, it's going to turn out way better." Studio Updates & Equipment [18:16] Current equipment upgrades: Shure SM7B microphones (not the DB version as intended) Yamaha DM3 mixer CRM 300 camera with a 500 model on the way NDI video integration with ECAMM Uline cafe table (72″ x 36″) Prime Acoustic wall panels Jake's appreciation for ECAMM: "ECAMM now in my opinion is a little bit underrated as a live stream solution for churches" Discussion of ProPresenter's limitation: lack of NDI HX output Church Front Growth [24:24] Announcement about company expansion Currently hiring for a Solutions Specialist role Future need for additional AV technicians for upcoming projects New warehouse space development Applications available through the Church Front website resources page Tech Spotlights [26:31] DIY Front of House Console Build: YouTube creator completely disassembled an Avantis console Integration with rack-mounted computers to create a 4-in-1 system Controls audio, ProPresenter, lighting, and video Matt's warning: "Don't do this until you've had your Avantis for at least two years and the warranty's no longer good." LED System Installation: Church in Nebraska with 6.5′ x 11.5′ LED screens Impressive architectural integration including sliding door to reveal screens Universal Audio Apollo Headphone Amp: Discussion of potential studio upgrade Cost-effective alternative using Dante feeds and Loop Back software SQ Mixer Firmware Update (v1.6.0.0): Matrix mixes can now be split (six mono matrices instead of three stereo) Both USB ports can record simultaneously Enhanced app control capabilities MAC compatibility for firmware updates Easter Tech Hot Takes [39:41] Matt's advice: "Don't be one of the churches that completely changes your DNA for the people that are going to come twice a year... you don't want them to be shocked by the difference between what you did for Easter and what you do the next weekend." Jake's warning: "Easter's not the time to try new tech!" Recommendation to plan major tech upgrades months in advance, not weeks before major services Jake: "If you are having to expend all of your creative brain power to put together a tech system that you didn't take the time to learn, test and use, and then your whole week is just consumed with stress... you quite frankly deserve that stress because you did not take the time to be responsible in planning." Matt's reminder: "Your job at that moment is to minister. Even if you're on sound, even if you're on video, your job is to minister, not worry about tech."

The latest features in the Matterport 2025 Winter Release: Productivity Multiplied set a new standard for the digital transformation of the built world, empowering customers to work smarter, move faster, and drive stronger business results. “The 2025 Winter Release is a game-changer for real estate professionals. We're making it easier than ever to market, manage, and sell properties with AI-powered tools that save time and maximize impact,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and CEO of Matterport. “From instant, ready-to-go marketing packages to seamless team collaboration, these innovations eliminate busywork so our customers can focus on what matters—closing deals and growing their business. And with our new model Merge and smart tagging features, scanning combining multiple sections of a property is seamless—capturing large spaces has never been faster or easier.” Next-Level Productivity: What's Inside the Winter Release ✓ Matterport Marketing Cloud makes listing a property faster and easier than ever.

www.SIMLABinc.com | www.SIM-STAGES.com -- Are you thinking about adding STAGES by SIMLAB to your Matterport digital twins? -- Do you have a client in the AEC space that uses Matterport that wants to add STAGES? -- Would you like a deep-dive onboarding demo of Matterport + STAGES by SIMLAB? Stay tuned! On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (special time: 11 am ET and 5 pm in Poland) on Wednesday, 18 September 2024 my guest will be SIMLAB STAGES Product Owner Robert Czarlewski. Topic WGAN-TV | How to Get Started with SIMLAB STAGES: a Deep-Dive Onboarding Training Demo Highlights We will assume that you are already a pro with Matterport and that you have watched previous WGAN-TV Live at 5 shows about SIMLAB STAGES (www.WGAN.info/SIMLABonWGAN). Robert will show us examples of Matterport digital twin powered by SIMLAB STAGES and then show us the backend of how these SIMLAB STAGES features are added to a Matterport digital twin. Robert will show us 7 Basic Features of SIMLAB STAGES: ✓ Feature 1: Creating an Organization "The first step when using Stages is to create an organization. The organization serves as your workspace, where all your projects are stored, and licenses are tied to the organization. Therefore, it's a crucial part of the environment setup." ✓ Feature 2: Creating a Project "After setting up the organization, the next step is creating a project. Each project can include various components, such as scans, notes, and other materials. I'll show you how to create a new project step by step." ✓ Feature 3: Adding Components (Matterport Scans) to a Project "Once the project is created, the next step is adding components, such as scans. This is a fundamental part of building a project in Stages, so it's essential to know how to do it correctly." ✓ Feature 4: Matterport Scan Synchronization "Scan synchronization is a critical process. In this step, it's important to define the synchronization points in locations that are as far apart as possible and, if possible, at different heights. The first scan should be manually marked as synchronized, creating what we call a 'reference scan.' You can verify the synchronization quality using the split screen tool, and if necessary, remove and repeat the synchronization." ✓ Feature 5: Adding Notes "You can add notes to each project, which allows for better documentation and team collaboration. Now, I'll show you how to do that." ✓ Feature 6: Attaching Materials to Notes "You can enhance your notes by attaching additional materials, such as images or files. This is a very useful feature that provides more information in your notes." ✓ Feature 7: Sharing Projects "Lastly, we'll cover how to share projects. You can invite other users to collaborate, assign them roles, and manage access. I'll show you how to send invitations and manage roles within the project." Robert will also show additional features and tips and tricks: ✓ Feature 8: Generating Reports "In Stages, you can generate detailed reports from each project. It's a quick and easy way to present the results of your work." ✓ Feature 9: Generating Public Links "If you need to share a project with external stakeholders, you can generate a public link. This is especially useful when you need to quickly share your project." ✓ Feature 10: System Preferences "Lastly, I'll show you how to customize the system preferences. You can change the appearance of the timeline, switch between light and dark themes, adjust the units of measurement, and modify the date format."
Jessica Griggs, CEO and founder of LaRuche Photo, joins host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Griggs discusses her transition to real estate photography and shares a few tips and tricks. Starting in her early 20s, Griggs established a successful wedding and videography business that allowed her to cultivate her passion professionally. When life brought her to Georgia, she transitioned into real estate photography and created LaRuche Photo. The business started with just Griggs herself and now features a team of nine photographers. What does real estate photography encompass? LaRuche serves real estate professionals from many sectors, including Realtors, home builders, interior designers and stagers. Whether your home is a short-term rental, new build or for-sale property, Griggs and her team provide home shoppers with a personal look. While real estate makes up almost 70% of its clientele, LaRuche also offers other photography services such as headshots, event coverage and weddings. When it comes to selling a home, photography is a crucial step in the marketing plan. Photos communicate visually for homebuyers, but they must be combined with other promotional assets to ensure a successful marketing strategy. LaRuche offers a wide range of services, including videography, Matterport 3-D home tours, drones and more. “I've always said a photo speaks 100 words, and a video speaks 1,000 because we live in a world of social media,” said Griggs. “We live in a world of scrolling one video after the next. Depending on your audience, you may have an attention span of two minutes, or you may have an attention span of two seconds.” In the last few years, Matterport has blown up in the real estate business, but how does it benefit both buyers and sellers? Matterport allows home shoppers to take a virtual “tour” of a home, utilizing dozens of photos merged to create 3-D images. It is a great strategy for sellers because it can reach homebuyers across the country and is cheaper than videography. Griggs shared her thoughts on videography strategy as well, expressing the difference between trendy and successful. Businesses want “viral” videos, but that level of popularity is based on factors that can seem impossible to achieve. Things like numbers of posts per week, influencer appearances and other algorithm feeders can take your video over 10,000 views or just plateau at 1,000-2,0000 views. For most businesses, the strategy for success is simple: know your audience! Older generations love horizontal format and longer videos, while younger generations are all about the vertical format and shorter videos found on social media. “I think it really depends on the audience you're trying to appeal to,” said Griggs. “If your audience is all over the place, then it's best to do both vertical and horizontal, because you're getting that long format for social media platforms like YouTube and vertical format for somebody who sits on TikTok all day.” With AI and other virtual products entering the market, how does that affect LaRuche Photo and real estate marketing? Griggs believes human-to-human engagement is important for the industry. AI is beneficial for small touch-ups but can be noticeable on a larger scale. Griggs said, “At the end of the day, it's composition, it's talent, it's expertise, and it's a good eye.” Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about LaRuche Photo or visit www.LaRuchePhoto.com.
