Where to Set-Up
TRACKING IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY
The SOLOSHOT3 Camera and Tag have several setup requirements:
FLAT AREA
For this tutorial, setup and
perform your activity on a flat area.
SOLOSHOT3 and the subject being
tracked should be roughly on the
same level.
CLEAR VANTAGE POINT
Ensure that the Camera has an
unobstructed view of the subject who
will be wearing the Tag.
For Example, ensure that people won’t
be consistently standing or passing
directly in front of the Camera.
LEVEL SET-UP
For best results, make sure the horizon
is level in your Camera. Use your
tripod’s bubble level to confirm a
level setup.
Choose a park, field or beach, so that
both Camera and Tag have a good
view of sky.
IMPORTANT: Your Camera has a built
in GPS and compass. Setting up near
buildings, clis, trees, large metal
objects, and power lines can aect
tracking accuracy.

Power on Camera and Tag early
Prepare the Tag
Tracking requires a strong GPS signal to work.
The stronger the signal, the better the tracking
will be.
Power on the Camera and Tag when first arriving
to your location in order to give SOLOSHOT3
a few minutes to acquire the best GPS signal
possible.
Make sure that your Tag is on and has a good GPS signal.
Finding a GPS signal can take up to 3 minutes.
STEP 1
STEP 2
IMPORTANT
After powering Tag on, place on a flat surface
with logo facing the sky. Do not keep in your
hand or put in a pocket or bag.

area is not sucient for tracking.

Successful Calibration
The Camera will point at the Tag after calibration
and automatically begin recording.
Refer to Step 8 for instructions on recording.
If the Camera is not pointing at the Tag after
calibration, begin walking back and forth at least
30 feet away (15 paces) from the Camera until the
green light can be seen.
What does good Tracking look like?
There is a green LED that points in the same
direction as the Camera. As you move around
with the Tag, you should continue to see the
green light clearly as the Camera tracks the Tag.
If you do not see the green light see steps 5 & 6
below.

How To Improve Tracking: Automatically
SOLOSHOT3 constantly works to center framing
and tighten zoom during use.
Typically, initial tracking inaccuracies and limited
zoom will be resolved after a few minutes of
tracking.
TO IMPROVE TRACKING ACCURACY
Walk side to side 5-6 times at least 50 feet from
the Camera.
ZOOMING
Your SOLOSHOT3 will limit zoom until it hones in
on the Tag. Once this is achieved, it will maintain
your desired field of view.
