Introduction

This article highlights the updates introduced in TwinCapture 3.0 and later. The new release features a clearer step-by-step capture flow and an improved interface for easier navigation, monitoring, and upload management.

Change Overview

• Guided Capture Workflow – Each setup step is now divided into guided screens instead of selecting all options on the main page.
• Streamlined Upload Interface – Updated layout with clearer upload status and progress display.
• Intuitive Main Screen – Displays pending upload count and camera information, and provides a simpler way to start new captures.

Important Note for Insta360 X5 Users:

• To use the Insta360 X5 with TwinCapture 3.0, the camera firmware must be version 1.6.18 or later.
• Please ensure that the X5 firmware meets this minimum requirement. The latest firmware is available for download here or through the Insta360 mobile app (version 2.10.0 or later is required for this firmware upgrade).

Important Note for Desktop Upload:

• A desktop upload issue has been resolved in TwinCapture version 3.0.11 and later.
• To upload through CupixConnect, ensure cellular data is available. Simply tap Back to Main after the capture and begin the upload using CupixConnect (no additional action is required in the TwinCapture app).
• Once the upload is completed through CupixConnect, the Upload Required message in TwinCapture will disappear.

Key Updates from the Previous Version

Starting a Capture

Previous

Now

In previous versions, all setup steps were completed on the main screen. Each step is now presented in separate screens with a clearer interface, guiding users through a continuous flow of:

1) Select level and reference plan → 2) Set starting point → 3) Select capture mode → 4) Connect camera (recording begins automatically after setup is complete)

Uploading

Previous

Now

• Upload options – Previously, users had to choose between Upload Now (mobile upload) and Upload from Computer (via CupixConnect). This selection screen has been removed and replaced with a single Upload button that automatically starts the mobile upload, simplifying the process.

  Note: Tap Back to Main after the capture and use CupixConnect to upload from your desktop. Please ensure the app is up to date (TwinCapture version 3.0.11 or later).

• Uploading Interface – The Upload page now features a simplified interface that displays upload progress more clearly.

Main Screen

Previous

Now

• Pending uploads – Previously shown as a red dot on the upload icon, they now appear in the Upload panel at the top of the main page, showing the number of remaining captures.
• Starting a capture – Setup steps that were previously completed on the main page are now handled through a guided flow, starting with selecting the level and reference plan.
• Camera information – Instead of tapping the camera icon, camera details now appear at the bottom of the screen when the camera is connected.
