    Video capture: Tracerbot

    I just watched some Tracerbot clips and am completely unimpressed with the image quality. As for the capture, it was accurate about 80% of the time. You would be better off paying for a videographer to tape the entire game with and edit the games yourself.

    Are there any other experiences with Tracerbot that are better?

    Buy an inexpensive video camera and a tripod and do it yourself. Have your kid edit it; it's part of their job in getting recruited

      You are spot on. Did just that this year. Still a pain in the ass to try and video a game and enjoy watching your kid play.

        A few of our parents take turns filming then post game footage to a shared site.

          Thanks for the tip. I can never record. half the time footage looks like a scene from COPS when the cameraman following cops in a footchase.

            Trace-bot is awful. Our team did that this year and will not renew it next season.

              Anyone use Soloshot3? Heard good things about this but skeptical...

                The tracer bot video is of poor quality and it doesn't always track the players it says it is tracking.
                My issue with Soloshot is that it takes the video from a lower height than the typical video capture from the extension height. The latter lets you see the play unfold. Unless you can get the soloshot up higher, the video might not highlight how your child made the play happen.

                  Thank you. Do you know if Soloshot allows an extension or if there is a similar product with an extension?
