XbotGo 4+

It would be great if the camera while recording could be locked in a horizontal setting so that when people walk in front of the camera at hockey rinks the camera does not focus down and track them.

Have a max pan angles for up and down too.

I have used the xbot exclusively for recording youth basketball games. To make this work you need to hope your kid is playing in a venue that has space for you to stand at mid-court. If you lucky and can do that you have to be prepared to redirect the bot when it gets distracted by spectators and the referee. The camera is very slow in capturing a fast break or a steal the results in a single player streaking down the court against the grain of the motion. The most maddening inconsistency, however, is the fact that it randomly mutes my recordings even though I turn the mute function off before filming. I am hoping this newly updated software will address this shortcoming. Other than that it works fairly well.

This app along with the gimbal is a good start

The following need to be addressed to make it better
1) allow for higher resolution recording. 1080 limits the quality for post production
2) allow manual zoom when recording games
3) set boundaries for the tracker to work within
4) allow mirroring of the screen to another device, like GoPro does. It’s difficult to see what you are recording when your phone is 10-13’ high. The tracker may not be capturing everything. This is when the remote will help to adjust tracking.
5) configuration should be testable to make sure it is setup correctly. For example, the recording angle may be too large or small and you won’t know until it’s too late when you are recording.

5) hardware problem, the gimbal is not water resistant.
