<summary>Step 2 – Getting Started</summary>

In this video, we cover what comes with an iGUIDE PLANIX purchase as well as some tips and tricks for getting started.&#x20;

What you will get with your purchase:&#x20;

* A case for your iGUIDE PLANIX system, designed with custom mouldings
* iGUIDE PLANIX Core system
* A Ricoh THETA Z1 (If you have purchased an iGUIDE PLANIX Core system and not iGUIDE PLANIX or iGUIDE PLANIX Pro it does not come with the Ricoh THETA Z1)
* Swappable system battery
* &#x20;USB drive
* Case strap
* Charging adapter
* Lens cap for the Ricoh THETA Z1 (this is not included if you opted for the iGUIDE PLANIX Core system)

**Before you can use the system you must charge the system for about 30 seconds**

How to prepare for a full day of shooting:

* Fully charge your iGUIDE PLANIX system; this can take up to 3 hours
* Keep your system in the case for charging and when not in use to avoid accidental damage
* Make sure your smart device is fully charged
* Confirm you have your USB drive ready
* Spare USB’s are a great idea to keep on hand as well
* Make sure you have an appropriate tripod functioning and ready to go
* Include a small tape measure with you for measuring wall thickness onsite
* An extra charger is always a great idea for both your smart device and/or the camera system
* Other suggested items: foot coverings, lens cleaning cloth, weight for your tripod to ensure stability while shooting (especially outside)
