SOLOSHOT 4+

We just got out SoloShot3 and are figuring it out. We’re using it to film our sons playing baseball. I REALLY would like to see some ability to control the camera from the app... especially the recording functions. Not all subjects wearing the tag (in our case 17 & 14yrs old baseball players) have the luxury of time to worry about the recording... and it’s not always easy to stay right by the camera to turn the recording on/off.

Love the idea of this camera. For my church this product is almost vital for us to use... except that I can’t even use it at this point for one of the two reasons we bought it. There isn’t any hardware reason I shouldn’t be able to use it as a remote camera, only a software reason.

I understand why (only a tiny bit) the indoor accessory isn’t available yet. Still in production. that piece still needs refinements to the hardware. What about as a remote PTZ camera? This unit has all the ability to be that, the app just hasn’t coded for that feature yet and I find that a bit absurd! There is no reason to have that feature kept under wraps mostly because I can’t imagine it’s all that difficult, you already know how to tell the camera to move the motors manually. Quite honestly how I’m setting the camera up doesn’t even need to have a live feed coming off of it (HDMI output is going to a different monitor). This was the only feature that I felt was going to save us from having to wait even longer till the indoor accessory comes out.

Eagerly awaiting that software unlock, ya’ll. Thanks. Cheers.

Review update: Feb. 3, 2018 — Just updated the base to version 3.1.10 and it still doesn’t have support for remote operation.

Great concept but there are concerns the company’s poor customer support is a reflection of its financial health. It appears the company is no longer updating its software or answering the phone. I suspect the company is on its last legs. it could be an orphaned product. Before you buy the product call the company and try to reach a live person. Calls go unanswered and to voicemail. If you call you will get a standard 2-3 minute wait time before being sent to voicemail. There are tons of complaints on social media. I advise consumers to review them before purchasing and avoid this dead company
