From the FAQs: Does SOLOSHOT2 work indoors? Not yet. SOLOSHOT is currently an outdoor only product due to some of the technologies involved. Anybody know why this is the case?
An educated guess would be that it uses GPS for location. It is often not possible to get a lock on the satellites indoors.
This is begging for an API or open source firmware. Impressive technology applied to something with limited practical usefulness. For starters, I'd like to decouple the tracking system from the tags.
I'd cheerfully pay sticker price for just the tracking system, no tripod required (assuming I hadn't overspent on media gadgetry already this quarter, anyway).
No cameraman? No problem 30 minutes later, No camera, problem.
Looks to be an amazing piece of engineering but seriously, what's the usecase? It looks to be targeted at the amateur market ('shoot like the pros') and I just don't see the demand or workability in this space. To pick on a few hinted at on the page: A game of football: Leaving a camera on a tripod on the sideline while I'm focused on the game? Not in any park I've ever played in.

I'm not sure these are the ones I originally read about, so there may be a few more.
This would probably work better for the skiing/hiking/other type case, provided the drone doesn't fly into something or drown.
I like that it can do the motion time lapse thing too though and it obviously would have a lot more run time.
It's a good product until your camera weights more than 1kg...

> A game of football: Leaving a camera on a tripod on the sideline while I'm focused on the game? Not in any park I've ever played in. Taking the stick from my teammates for being enough of a nerd to set this up? If it's affordable, I can see this being big with parents and coaches of youth athletes. Go to a children's soccer game (or ice hockey here in Canada) and see how many parents have their cameras out, but wou…

How about a construction site timelapse? Again, not sure about needing the tracking...
The autotracking timelapse was the most interesting part, maybe for a really slow moving _thing_, but I can't think of one...
