What the low glide does
The camera glides forward at knee height toward the feature. Floors and furniture loom as the camera glides in low.

Pushes in, low. Knee-height push-in. Inside the app, every move also has a 3D preview of the rig and the exact photo map it asks for.
Best rooms for a low glide
- Kitchens with a long island or run of cabinets
- Living rooms with a statement rug and low furniture
- Hallways with a feature floor — herringbone, tile, stone
- Rooms where the floor itself is a selling point
The 3 photos to take
Take them in one visit, in the same light. The first photo is where the clip opens and the last is where it lands, so shoot them in the order the camera should travel.
- 1
Low and wide
Crouch to knee height at the far side of the room and photograph toward the feature — this is the opening frame.
- 2
Low, halfway
Same low height, half the distance forward.
- 3
Low and close
Same low height, right up to the feature — where the glide finishes.
Tips for a better low glide
- Crouch, or hold the phone at your knee, and keep that height for all three photos.
- Keep the phone level — a low shot that tilts up looks like a mistake.
- Walk toward something with height at the end: an island, a mantel, a tall window.
Mistakes to avoid
- Mixing knee-height and eye-level photos in one set.
- Aiming down at the floor instead of forward along it.
- A cluttered floor — cables, shoes, a pet bed — which the low angle makes enormous.

Questions
How many photos does a low glide need?
3 photos of the same room: first low and wide, then low, halfway, last low and close. Take them in one visit in the same light — the low glide opens on the first and lands on the last.
Why shoot a room from knee height at all?
Because it changes what the buyer notices. From eye level a room is about its walls; from knee height it is about its floor, its furniture and its ceiling height. For a listing with a new floor or a high ceiling, that is the shot that shows it.
Is the low glide included on every Villenza plan?
Yes — the low glide, like every reveal move, is on every plan at the same 720p HD output; plans differ only in listings per month.
