SoloShot2 Robotic Camera- Video You and Your Horse Unassisted
stacey |
Horsemen everywhere - in every discipline - have learned the value of filming their rides. Video is almost an absolute necessity to sell a horse in today's market, but it can be used for so much more. Trainers can monitor a colt's progress. Barrel racers can see where to shave off those important fractions of a second. Reiners can see exactly what the judge sees. Ropers can watch every steer they turn. While I firmly believe the best view is the one between your horse's ears, sometimes that just can't tell you the full story. Sometimes you need to see what eyes on the ground see to find and fix small issues.
In the past, only professionals had access to the cameras and crews you needed for regular filming. While that gives you excellent footage, this is expensive and time consuming. Recently, smartphones and tablets have started churning out video, but the footage is often very poor in quality. You might ride out of the frame or ride so far away from the camera that you lose the important level of detail needed for useful footage. Not to mention, filming a horse loping circles always makes me think of the old Sesame Street skit - Near..........Far..........
The Soloshot2 robotic camera system is revolutionizing the way equestrians are able to film their rides. In one kit you get a fully programmed robotic camera, the GPS tracking and control tag, a sturdy custom tripod, and many other accessories. With just a few minutes of setup and calibration you can film your ride. The system will automatically (through GPS tracking with the included tag) pan and zoom to follow you as you ride. You can use the tag to start and stop filming, as well as to mark highlights, but you don't have to. You can be completely hands-free. Just enjoy your ride and let Soloshot2 do the rest.
This technology is not limited to equine pursuits. Developed originally for surfers, the Soloshot is becoming wildly popular for many outdoor sporting events and activities. ATV's, motorbikes, skiing,... As long as you enjoy it under the wide open sky, Soloshot can help you capture it.
