    Many tracking settings are available to suit your filming preferences. Tracking settings can be adjusted prior to calibration or any time during tracking/filming.

    Open Track Settings by tapping the TRACK button.
  • Open Settings

    Select SETTINGS

    Default Settings:
    Camera Mode: Video
    Resolution: 1080p60 fps
    Framing: Bottom Middle
    Field-of-View: Medium
    Trajectory: 3 Seconds
  • Track Modes

    Water
    For performing activities on the water.
    Examples: Surfing, Kiteboarding, Sailing.

    Field
    For performing activities on a level playing field or gradual slopes.
    Examples: Soccer, Track and field, Equestrian.

    Terrain
    For performing activities on uneven surfaces.
    Examples: Skating, Snowboarding, Motocross

    Flight
    For performing aerial activities.
    Examples: RC planes, Drones (UAVs), Paragliding
  • Field of View

    The Field of View (FOV) determines how much of the shot is visible on Camera. The tighter the FOV, the camera will zoom in. The subject will appear larger in the frame relative to the visible background. The wider the FOV, the Camera will be zoomed out. The subject will appear smaller in the frame relative to the visible background.

    Field-of-View Parameters:
    Tight: 10 meters
    Medium: 20 meters
    Wide: 40 meters
    Extra Wide: 80 meters
  • Framing

    Framing determines where the subject will appear within the shot. Choosing a framing setting is entirely based on personal preference.

    Framing Parameters:
    Field: Bottom/Middle or Center
    Water: Bottom/Middle or Center
    Terrain: Center
    Flight: Center
  • Trajectory

    If the Base temporarily loses the Tag’s signal, the trajectory will determine how long the Base will continue to move in the same direction and speed at the time the signal was lost.

    Range: 1-10 seconds.
    The default is set to 3 seconds.

    Example: Great for surfing when becoming completely covered up in a barrel. This mode keeps the Camera tracking on the last known trajectory to ensure that you’re still in frame when reemerging. The Camera will temporarily pause tracking if it's unable to reacquire the Tag’s signal within the specified trajectory time setting. In other words, if you plan on being inside a barrel for more than 3 seconds, then set trajectory to 4 seconds or more. Once the Camera reacquires the Tag’s signal, it will automatically resume tracking.
