If you ’re the gnarliest surfboarder on the beach but prefer to catch your wave at the crack of dawn , betting odds are there wo n’t be anyone around to see or take your exploits . So for extreme athletes lacking friends who wake up before twelve noon , theSoloshot mountlets you capture all your fancy moves without a cameraman .
It sits between a tripod and a camera — connect to each using their stock mount screw — and automatically pans and course whoever is wearing an included raincoat armband . Since it ’s all radio the rig is liberal to rotate 360 point , and its maximum pan stop number is over 40 degrees per irregular . So it should even be able to track a fast - moving fomite as it whizzes by . And with a range of 2,000 feet , you ’ll be out of your tv camera ’s visible range before the mount loses track of you .
Now , there are a few niggles to deal with . You ’ll have to adjust your television camera ’s tilt and zoom beforehand , and plausibly prepare its focus to infinite if you do nt ’ trust its autofocus capabilities to keep you terse . And even with built in security measures measures to tether everything together , you ’ll probably want to be measured where you set it up so it ’s not an loose target for theft .

Update : Even though the Soloshot website include an on-line store for ordering the mount — and seems to designate it ’s an available shipping product — it ’s been brought to our attention that this is unfortunately actually a Kickstarter project that ’s still endeavor to nurture funds . We apologize for the error , and our decision tonot cover Kickstarter projectsstill stands .
