On the 6th day of Christmas, we’re thinking of adventure lovers: a camera system that works without the help of any others!
If you’ve got an adventure-lover on your Christmas list, you can’t go wrong by gifting them the SoloShot Automatic Cameraman System. This personal filming device is the latest and greatest technology to hit the adventure market, allowing you to film yourself participating in all kinds of outdoor activities with the use of an armband transmitter that keeps the camera focused steadily on you.
This camera system consists of a transmitter and base, tripod, armband, carrying bag, wall charger, and float: everything you need to set up the shot and get into action. The base can only communicate with the armband transmitter it comes with, allowing multiple SoloShots to be used at one time. For every kind of sports action — water, motor, snow, or land — you’ll be able to get the shots you want without needing another person to film the action!
Any camera that can be attached to a standard tripod can be used with the SoloShot system, making this a bullseye gift even if you don’t know what kind of camera your recipient has. Both the base and the tripod have attachment points for locking cables so you can secure the system to a fixed point to deter theft while you are in action. All you do is set the tilt and zoom to your liking beforehand, and the system does the rest.
The armband transmitter is completely water and shockproof, standing up to the biggest spills in the surf, snow, and mud. The SoloShot was originally developed by the team to film themselves while they were surfing, which means product testing has been thorough at the hands of its creators.
You’ll be able to confirm the SoloShot is recording with the bright green LED indicator light on the front of the base, and you can actually watch it follow your every move. This system tracks at distances up to 2000 feet with a maximum pan speed of over 40 degrees per second, with the fastest object tested being a race car going 143 miles per hour! There is virtually nothing this automatic system can’t catch.
