We’ve seen a number of products – including poles and even a UAV aircraft – that can provide a different way to film the action with a rugged action camera. The latest twist is the SoloShot, a device holds the camera on a tripod and automatically records a person wearing a small GPS transmitter.
The robotic camera system can thus lock onto the wearer and provide an additional perspective that includes the ability to track or pan. Unfortunately this can’t tilt or zoom, nor does it allow the camera to be controlled remotely, but along with other options it could still be a great way to get that all so excellent long shot for a montage video!

As we’ve noted action cameras such as the GoPro are great for providing a way of sharing your experience on video. But what is missing is the ability for you to be in those shots. We’ve seen some devices, such as the XShot Pro Camera Extender as a long handle for users to hold to get into the shot, but this is hardly particle for those on bicycles or motorcycles.
