SOLOSHOT is a new tripod-mounted automatic pan head that tracks subjects using a remote wristband.  It was built with capturing surfing in mind; however, it works for a ton of different types of moving subjects.

SOLOSHOT Key Features

• Tracks at distances up to 2000 feet (half a kilometer).
• The maximum pan speed is over 40 degrees per second.
• The fastest object tested so far was a race car going 143 mph.
• Batteries last 5+ hours.
• A super bright tracking LED lets you know SOLOSHOT is pointing at you.
• A security feature gives you an access point to lock your camera to the Base, and the tripod can be locked to stationary objects (the same as you would lock up a bicycle).
• The pairing process allows multiple people to each use their own SOLOSHOT near each other.  Each Base will only follow the Armband that it is paired to.
