I mounted my pop on a photo tripod and placed it so it points torward me form slightly above, so I can turn around on a swivel chair freely without crashing into it. I use my smartphone which i hold in front of me to check the scan progress. First I scan the face, then pause the scan, readjust the settings so my hair get scan and continue the scanning. while turning around I also tilt my head up and down to have everything scanned.  
I look forward to you scans! 🍻

hm… I get the thing with the tripod and swivel chair, that sounds good. Don’t have much experience with the Smartphone App (mine has little memory), I will go through the workflow to check that; but when you say you pause to adjust settings, you mean you can change the ‘Mode’ ? Or what setting ? When resuming scan will it have the memory available again ? I think I just need to go through some testing honestly 😅

when you press pause(on the right) you can adjust the settings (on the left) prior to continue scanning.

EDIT: when you press STOP, and compute, software frees RAM and by Pushing PLAY again  
you can continue to scan your subject!) so little memory/RAM isn’t an issue.  
Look here!

If necessary, you can scan the object several times to get a complete 3D model. For example: Devices connecting； [image] Note：Make sure your Wi-Fi is off !
