Capturing the action-packed moments of team sports requires precision, flexibility, and reliability in your filming equipment. Whether you're documenting a thrilling soccer match, a fast-paced basketball game, or a gripping football showdown, having the right tools can make all the difference in producing high-quality footage. In this blog post, we'll explore the essential gear you need to elevate your team sports filming to the next level. Let's delve into why the PIX4TEAM 2 is a must-have for anyone serious about capturing the excitement of team sports on camera.
- What is PIX4TEAM 2 and how does it work?
The PIX4TEAM 2 is an auto follow camera dedicated to a list of sports: Soccer, Basketball, Volley, Handball, Rugby, Hockey (Ice, field, roller and Floorball), Futsal, American football.
It only takes 5 minutes to set up the PIX4TEAM2: place it on your tripod/mast at the edge of the field or bleachers, install the camera/phone/tablet on the robot and turn it on. Use the PIX4TEAM2 REMOTE application to select the sport, and configure the robot. Extend the mast to 5 meters and place the corners of the field on the PIX4TEAM remote app.
There you go, your PIX4TEAM2 is ready to record and livestream!
The video can be recorded locally in the camera memory or micro-SD card, and/or recorded inside the robot (micro-SD card),
And/or live streamed on any live streaming services: Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo. Or, on streaming platforms, those of our partners (SolidSport, Champ's) and any other. Or your own live streaming service if any(thanks to a RTMP link or the HDMI outfit of the top-mounted camera), our own live streaming service that will be proposed later on the website.
The video can be used in any analysis software, it's a standard camera so it's a standard video format. We will also propose an analysis software on the website later. You can connect the top-mounted camera by HDMI to your laptop if you want to analyze the game in real time. Or you can analyze it after with the SD card.
An unrivalled technology
The 180° camera at the top of the robot films the whole field. It does not move. Its video is analysed by an artificial intelligence algorithm in real time: it determines where the action is that must be filmed. Then it sends PAN, TILT and ZOOM commands to the camera on top of the robot, so that it focuses on this action.

Why PIX4TEAM 2 ?
PRICE: PIX4TEAM 2 is BY FAR the less expensive auto-follow camera on the market. VEO 2 and 3 are much more expensive with their compulsory monthly subscription, and you have to trust them on the service will still be there in 3 years, and not at a higher price.
BEST IMAGE QUALITY ON THE MARKET: Pix4Team2 uses a real camera with an optical zoom from a major brand of your choice, instead of cropping inside a cheap wide-angle camera like VEO 2 and 3.
LIVE STREAMING: it's free with PIX4TEAM2, and you can stream wherever you want. With VEO 2 and 3, you have to pay and use their own service in the hope that it will always be available, and not at a higher price.
IMAGE RIGHTS: With all other brands, your videos go to their servers, and you give them the rights to use them commercially in the future. Imagine seeing the videos of your current youngsters, who will be champions in 10 years' time, without you being able to do anything about the use of these videos, which should remain under your control.
