How to Make Your Camera Follow You... 5 Camera Auto-Rotating Trackers

[@justsomeguy6336]

I love how honest and blunt this guy is. This sucks I hate it This sucks I hate it This is just stupid and expensive This thing is better but a cellphone is better This thing is great.

[@TheodoreYun]

I’ve been watching camera and tech reviews on KZbin for a long ass time and this is the most genuine childlike enjoyment I’ve ever seen someone have reviewing products. The parts with him enjoying the Pixio are like watching a 3rd grader meeting their best friend for the first time. I really don’t know how else to describe it

[@journeyman4328]

You get more of a workout doing a Vlog than most people do at the Gym. ;-)

[@DanDanTheFireman]

I'm so glad I found this channel a few days ago. As a one man production crew, I am learning a ton. Plus I love how its presented. Genuine information coming from an authentic perspective.

[@MarkusPix]

Happy to help!

[@gatesroyale]

Any recommendations for a auto tracker for a smartphone without a app? I could use something for making content outside and for Tiktoks.

[@beolux]

Ok worlds are colliding

[@hugomoto650]

Hello DanDan 😄

[@MrEdxwx]

This is the first time i see something like this , cool video Markus !

[@hanchee2664]

Your experience in Hollywood plus your love for continuing using videos as a means of communicating, has a lot to be admired. I went back to school recently after 60 years out of college, now working on using Cinema to teach students all over the world. It is a new career and much more fun than my original teaching process .

[@shinytan]

I see intresting such people on KZbin and feel life is more than you actually ever fully come to know about....

[@kieronmacleod1458]

Re-discovering my love of all things imaginable. I don’t know if I’ve ever been a photographer. Every now and then I think artistically and go for richness or warm for depth of field or composite of elements. And they were only a couple of settings which sometimes simply accumulated in “close and snap“. But at 55 years old I decided to take roles in student films in the Pittsburgh area. And watching the students and the instructors and all of the particular fieldwork was scintillating. From sound the fog the light the quiet preparation and then the frantic capture of action. Your channel is great. Thanks for showing what it takes and some of the “cheats” along the way. -K

[@gt40hwy1]

Great video. I love that you are so honest and show exactly how they work. So many people on KZbin try to be so biased and not express themselves how they feel about a product. Two thumbs up.

[@gunlokman]

I just wanted to say how much I love your videos. They are entertaining (without the unnecessary self-promoting flannel that many others have), VERY practical and useful and you call 'a spade a spade' when I comes to equipment. This time I was so impressed with your loathing of reliance on the dreaded cell-phone apps, a particular hate of mine too. Keep 'em coming please.

[@Jellybellycat]

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Your quirkiness is so endearing! I love that you ran around outside and embraced your inner-child. Your video made me smile. Thank you for the great tips.

[@Prissilla]

Let me tell you you did a GREAT JOB ON THIS VIDEO!!! FOR us freelancers it is really hard to film ourselves when everyone is busy! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE A TOROUGH JOB AT EXPLAINING THAT . CUDDOS! I LOVE IT.

[@johnherzel718]

These things are so cool. I'm not interested, but let someone else who will use them win. Thanks for doing this Markus📸

[@MarriedToTheKGB]

You're the best reviewer out there. I will go to you whenever i need a review on a product and I can't even detect a German accent whatsoever

[@michaelrobinson9112]

"I hate cell phone apps" - This speaks to my soul!

[@vader1a]

Maybe it's our age lol

[@martinb1838]

I have a pixio system which I have used to track me whilst in a horse riding arena. On top I put a Sony camcorder. If you get the right model, and link it to the main device it also allows you to use the zoom function on the camera. I think it is great. BTW, keep up the good work.

[@insanejughead]

I won't believe this is truly a MarkusPix video unless you use balloons, string, or some random fancy fabric... Love it, Markus!

[@JimLeonard]

Your level of enthusiasm for the subjects you cover is infectious. Thank you for taking the time!

[@KatSchlitz]

I have not laughed in a great tech gear review, perhaps ever! What a delight and fantastic demonstration of tools, thank you for your detail & joy of life. Glad to have found your channel!

[@nowEUCme]

"Wide shots can be funny, but telephoto needs to be serious" 🤣 @12:37 Thanks again for sharing, it's great to see a real world comparison

[@mikegill1513]

I'm from England...I can appreciate why you won't send stuff overseas with all the hassle you've had...but as your content is very good and I enjoy watching your feedback on different bits of kit I'll remain loyal and stay subscribed...thanks for all your input into new tech in this field...it is very much appreciated indeed Markus...because of your reviews I bought the Panasonic HC-X900...thanks.

[@yenri8743]

I don't know why you don't have one million subs! subscribed!

[@mkselphypods2466]

i found your channel by pure accident bt happy i did. Your a funny guy and true reviews can sometimes be hard to come by, Your so eccentric and remind me of the character in the film ready player one James Halliday anyway a big hello from the Uk and stay safe my new friend.

[@FarEastSurvival]

Wow this is really is really useful information. $800 is nothing compared to paying a cameraman. Thanks for sharing brother!

[@warnutztheloser]

U are right about that. They wanna charge u a arm & a leg. This is the solution

[@DenebCatalan]

Literally had no clue these were even available! Thank you for this Marcus!

[@mybudinesd4545]

This is a great video but funny you got me checking out all of these devices because anyone that put that much effort in their review video really peak my curiosity. You are truly into this review great job and super informative.

[@lostproductionspdx]

You need a hidden camera for when people unwrap these boxes, I was shocked. Thanks so much for spreading joy with these gifts. David

[@LuisMuniz2]

Theirs only one thing I can say besides how awesome your multiple products review are. Where have you been all our life!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@medievil2]

even I'm exhausted after watching you run up and down showing the tracking devices . Great video.

[@GPOutdoors]

Best auto tracker review EVER!! Thanks so much. I have been looking into auto trackers for some time now and finally found a review that is spot on. Thanks very kindly for the honest straight up info. I only film outdoors and it looks like the Pixio is the one for me - not a big fan of having to set up the 3 beacons every time I move areas but now I know honestly why I shouldn't buy the other ones. Cheers and many thanks!

[@aussernllc]

I've ordered obsbot me for use with my iphone. Great to see there are bigger, stronger followers to use with my Canon 5d2.

[@malmedia]

I am just glad you didn't fall down running on that uneven loose ground. But it seems like you are in pretty good shape cuz your breathing was pretty steady. :)

[@keithbrown454]

Your videos are funny, interesting, entertaining, helpful, inspirational, and creative. I just love it!

[@ChrisMcKiernan]

Great review of the "follow me" camera. I have always wanted one and almost went with the Soloshot. I think the Pixio seems to work the best and pan the smoothest. Congrats winners!

[@kenbest7660]

I actually liked the DJI the most. It was the smoothest, plus you get the added benefit of it being a gimble. Also, you clued me into using the phone on top of a camera foe tracking. Don't know why I didn't think of this myself yet. Much thanks!

[@franktv992]

This explain why you always look young. You put your all in everything you do. This is a full 16 minute running exercise.

[@OdysSeaAirwaves]

I totally agree, anything that connects to an app grinds my gears!

[@thegregdavieschannel]

Awesome video, it's great to find someone who just gets on with the video.

[@inquisitvem6723]

I love your ideas of getting things done with accessories and the camera

[@aroundtheworld5901]

Thanks for testing these Camera Tracking Bots. Very funny moderation outdoors :). You have now a new follower. Stay healthy !

[@gregwaugh8069]

"I hate cell phone apps" runs into the desert never seen again. Brilliant video.

[@jcnopal1740]

I love this guy's honesty

[@PinnaclePete]

I never knew these things existed. Pretty cool! I don't need one, but a couple people out there will enjoy them! Thanks Markus.

[@AutumnWinds]

Thank you SOOOOOO much, best camera review I have ever seen 5 star

[@KnifeGuy_]

7:27 I love how Marcus doesn't care about looking cool, he's just living, man. All for us.

[@Gusseq81]

I realized you did a lot of exercises shooting this video! Thanks for the effort! Nice reviews!

[@romulo560]

LOL I love you Markus! Especially when you are frustrated with the Solo Shot! Lol

[@Vlad0121]

I have been looking for this kind of video for the longest time. You just answer all my questions to each of these cameras. I’m in the market for a camera for my son’s soccer matches. Thanks for this great video. I just subscribed to your channel

[@MarkusPix]

My pleasure!

[@OaklynMediaLLC]

4:05 I'm seeing some dots on your sensor There's 2 ways to fix this. Buy a VND and lower your aperture or you could get a sensor cleaning kit. Both aren't crazy expensive and would help get those dots off your image. Super helpful video. I actually have a Ronin S and didn't know it could track people.

[@LaVoz4k]

Always nice vids , illumination setup will be a good next video

[@bodogunther2316]

What a great review! It was not only fun to watch but very useful aswell. Loved it! Regards from Norway.

[@fotografoti]

Thought you would have a string attached- I watched your vid on sliders & your 'MacGyver' set up. Excellent 👍 PS. Dont run on polished marble floors with socks, its extremely dangerous!! LOL

[@stephenwyatt7747]

You had great light for this video, the sky in the background was beautiful and the light was bright but soft and diffused by the clouds, very nice. It looked Awesome.

[@shubhishekhar1961]

i can watch hours of this man just running around

[@glssjg]

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the solo shot but if I remember correctly there is a module you can get that will make it work indoors. After looking at the footage from the solo shot I’m glad I never pulled the trigger on it. Thanks for keeping up the interesting content that is refreshingly different.

[@kirankankipati-thelinuxcha689]

as always what I love about your videos is that, you focus the core functionality. The usability of a product. Yet another fantastic video (actually all your videos) LOL Edit: btw, what happens if there are 2 people. I mean the face detect ones. Of course the other ones are following those provided sensors.

[@EugenioTrainer]

The best part of this video is watching you working out :) BTW The new Ronin doesn't use a Phone

[@davidborenchole1463]

Hello now you have the flow360 for the tracking and also a gimball.... Thank you Markus especially for one of you last comments and thoughts about AI and the role of an artist and the pleasure to discover and participate seeing what the world is offering.... I think also that the use of filters, lut, AI corrections, AI creations are pleasant ten minutes and after that it remains a hole, a not satisfying sense of human creation, of a human viewing of things that the nature, the world, the animals is offering I'm following you from Italy

[@ccuny1]

First time on your channel. Your rant about apps made me giggle.. I have that bias too. Being an unfit old guy, and even though I can barely use a camera, I think I will get one of those just for the exercise you get trying to lose it...liked and subbed. Greetz from France.

[@bulcub]

Bro I liked this because you PUT IN WORK!!! which is very much appreciated!!!

[@johncrisp]

good luck guys,,and thank you markus for giving your cool stuff away and making these videos bro...really cool !

[@Chinedu104]

Wow 💥👍Thank you for this video. I'm from Germany and following you since some few days. I am searching for sth. to realize livemusicbriadcasting alone from my home studio as guitarplayer and singer. I was already thinking about how to realize, that the Webcam or other camera can follow me, when I change the position. The Sony pixio seems to be a pretty good idea 💡 👍. I like your videos. You have nice sense of humor and innovating ideas. 👍👌. Thank you.

[@ChrrZ]

this is really great comparison, many thanks Markus!

[@ScorpionRanchTX]

I like that DJI. For the price, 3-axis, and smoothness I think I can deal with the frustration of using an app.

[@billyoung9538]

Foolish me watched some other videos first and missed the giveaway by a few hours. ;) Still some interesting tracking options. The Soloshot3 with a decent quality video phone like the Xperia1 II with it's hybrid ToF & phase detect autofocus would make a pretty killer tracking combo .

[@TimeCodeMechanics]

Perfect timing for this video.

[@garywilliams267]

911 Operator: How may I help you? Caller: There's a man running back and forth in the desert talking to himself...he may need some help 911 Operator: Oh that's Marcus, he's a Photographer and KZbinr... Caller: Oh that explains a lot...CLICK I have a Ronin SC and don't care for the phone app stuff either :/

[@TheNathanMChannel]

I enjoyed the cell phone app hate but enjoyed the beautiful desert colors even more. I’ve only been there once myself.

[@thegiftedone]

Thank you Professor! I have learned so much from you! Thank you for giving me a pretty sweet career!

[@raipe76]

🤣 You make my day ! You are so honest and you tell things directly what you think 😃 You just keep running =) Good energy you have !

[@KenRossPhotography]

Another fun and informative photo gadget video - thank you Markus! I was just starting to look into these sorts of things for some video I wanted to shoot so your timing was perfect!

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Thank you for bringing a no nonsence, affordable path to all aspectd of personal video composition. Great videos, excellent presentation; above all your generosity in sharing your abundant knowledge.

[@MarkusPix]

Thank you

[@TheFrenchtastic]

i got to say i've watch few of your video ,and you been a great help/advises im looking for to watch other from you . so here some freestuff from me to you a big THANK YOU VERY MUTCH !

[@Ka_Hikina]

Mahalo Markus for sharing your knowledge. Love the no nonsense approach.

[@user-dy5ho4sj2w]

Dude, your house is insane 🤘😂

[@KutayYavuzMusic]

Great video as always! Thank you!

[@VeganLinked]

I was excited about the DJI Ronin S3 and the mini 4 pro drone having some really cool tracking features but they're all still very mediocre. It's a lot of fun under the right circumstances but not enough to make me keep the purchase yet. 3 years after this video and still not too excited...

[@jaegermah]

Markus makes the morning marvellous

[@sonofzen1]

Great watching you run around! 😁 Thank you!

[@artistjoh]

These devices can be very useful. I love the Active Track built into the DJI Pocket. The original Pocket had excellent tracking, and the new Pocket 2 is said to have improved upon it. It makes an excellent relatively affordable alternative to these devices and doesn’t require infra red dots, hidden triangulation devices, or GPS. It does use facial recognition, but seems to very clever at following a subject. It is small and lightweight, and recommendable for many people.

[@fastgurrrl]

Ty, perusing comments for this type of info...cheers...

[@barenakedtech9893]

I can see the benefit of the Pixio and Soloshot for arena sports etc, but I was most impressed by the DJI Ronin SC, I can imagine for an indoor setup or studio it would be really effective! Very smooth too.

[@warnutztheloser]

Thanks for this review I am going to purchase all of them

[@MarkusPix]

😆

[@wio2189]

Thanks for the video. I found another solution that is lighter. The DJI Pocket 2 follows you pretty well! Up and down, left right. Doesn't require a cellphone (only for initial registration). I would love to see you try the Pocket 2... It's a fun little thing for video. And the creators pack is a good start as it has a wireless mic.

[@LucekV12]

Thanks! Wish You all the best

[@JohnKyleSutton]

You're a G for this. Thanks Markus 🙏

[@HerbOMatic]

Great Review, using your position of expertise to help us for free is amazing, thanks Markus!

[@coolbananaboy5075]

Great reviews, plus all that running - big respect bud!

[@Merkin2024]

Hi! Which DJI model are you referring to pls?

[@MrEdxwx]

You can make a video with things that help you clean your cameras :D

[@gatesroyale]

Awesome video! We need more videos like this! There is unfortunately not video reviewing auto trackers maybe because the tech isn't there?

[@elsietownsend8872]

You have a good since of humor and I loved the sharing 😀

[@D.A.M.I.R]

🙂You are crazy. Jumping around hehe. Well done. I would take dji just becouse i need gimbal, and having this option to track is plus. Tnx.

[@SeedyRecords]

I really enjoyed this video. I wish to see these types of Cameras for less than $100.

[@simonhead666]

I own a Pixio. I modified the mount to work with a quick release tripod mount. I managed to get a c100 mounted to it. Battery life could be better on the sensors. I added external battery packs on them to get through a 90 minute show. Overall a good company though

[@hobikicau]

I hate when i wanted winning give away from you but I ended up waiting for your content, creatif i should say

[@james_gemma]

Another excellent video. You're a valuable resource, you do all the work and we save a lot of time and money. It also looks like you have a lot of fun while doing it.

[@gfeuchte]

you are freaking awesome!!! I watch all your videos

[@zackpercellvo7923]

Great vid! Been looking at the Pixio but found this vid to see if there is anything cheaper that doesn't need beacons. It looks like the alternatives won't work. I just don't like the beacons. I wish they had the technology to bypass that part and just have the sender tether to the robot directly, work outside and battery powered.

[@cjjuddaustralianartist]

Very good presentation, I had no idea these things existed. Thanks for showing.

[@davidhilderman]

You are awesome!! Still a happy kid. Lots of exercise testing these things.

[@jakemoore8210]

Great video. I appreciate all the work you put into this!

[@jakemoore8210]

Pixeo!
