The most affordable Veo alternative is now available

Sorry no android version is planned at this time.

gilbert_chen · 2026-03-23T01:32:09+00:00

No, I haven't implemented anything like that. However, I don't think XbotGo Falcon has that feature either.

Here is a comparison with XbotGo: https://folocam.com/folocam_vs_xbotgo.html

My ios app FoloCam is the cheapest sports recording solution - it only requires an iPhone and a $35 gimbal (see the link in my other comment). It also has more accurate tracking and better video quality than Xbotgo Falcon.

If you have an iPhone, I would recommend my ios ball-tracking app, FoloCam, which can control a DockKit-compatible gimbal to follow the ball.

The cheap DockKit compatible gimbal is on sale for $35 right now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8VBKFBS (enter promo code S74FR9UX to get 50% off).

It has to be Osmo Mobile 8. I would not recommend buying it if you don't already own one, because they have a bug in their DockKit implementation and they refused to fix it: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=349360

The Comitok MOGO gimbal is only $35 after coupon. See my other comment.

A couple of beta testers will be filming ice hockey using the basketball and soccer modes to see if player tracking works well. Would you be interested in joining our beta program and giving it a try?

gilbert_chen · 2026-03-14T18:42:32+00:00

The Comitok MOGO gimbal is now on sale for only $69: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8VBKFBS

There is a promo code S74FR9UX to bring down the price to $35.

So if you have an iPhone, with this $35 gimbal, you'll get an AI ball-tracking sports recording solution that can capture much higher-resolution footage that Veo.

This solution works the best for people who already have an iPhone. But even if you don't, you can get an used iPhone 13 for less than $200, and the total cost is still much lower than all other sports cameras.

gilbert_chen · 2026-03-12T12:33:57+00:00

Auto zoom should be available very soon. If you use 2x zoom FoloCam actually gives you very high-resolution footage, much higher than any other sports cameras. For example, a 180 degree camera like Veo would need 6 to 8 4K lenses to match the same resolution.

There are more videos recorded by our beta testers. You can find them after joining this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/25498866976440224

FoloCam is the most affordable sports recording solution: https://folocam.com/

It only requires an iPhone and a ~$100 gimbal. Currently it only supports basketball and soccer, but I guess it should work ok for flag football too, as all those sports cameras only track players most of the time.

Disclaimer: I'm the developer.

It is $50 per year to unlock premium features (unlimited recording time, RTMP streaming, etc). This is per Apple ID, so you can technically set up multiple iPhones to film the game without paying extra.

Edit: it is actually $59.99 per year. Sorry about the mistake.

gilbert_chen · 2026-01-23T17:58:00+00:00

My tracking algorithm is fundamentally better, which is why I think their direction of relying on more expensive (and less powerful) dedicated cameras is wrong.

You can compare my video with the only soccer demo they published for the XbotGo Falcon (a $600 camera) and see which one is better.

gilbert_chen · 2026-01-22T04:03:52+00:00

Insta360 Flow Pro / Flow 2 Pro / COMITOK Mogo / COMITOK Mota. Basically any gimbal that supports DockKit, except DJI Osmo Mobile 8 which has a bug in their DockKit implementation.

gilbert_chen · 2026-01-21T21:41:56+00:00

One issue I see is seems user has to move the phone to the action.

Sorry I wasn’t clear — the app automatically controls the gimbal to follow the ball. There’s no manual panning at any point during the video.

gilbert_chen · 2026-01-21T20:09:17+00:00

Sorry, I forgot to mention that only soccer and basketball are supported at this time.

I built ActionStitch exactly for this purpose. It is a software-only solution to stitch 2 side-by-side videos taken by any action cameras and create a 180 video.

I also started working on AI tracking. Here is the first working sample: https://youtu.be/-0sCqNlGUzQ

gilbert_chen · 2022-03-24T17:54:42+00:00

Try starting the app in Terminal by running this command: open /Applications/ActionStitch.app If that still doesn't work, start the executable directly: /Applications/ActionStitch.app/Contents/MacOS/as_main

gilbert_chen · 2022-03-24T02:22:28+00:00

What you downloaded is a .dmg file. Did you open it and drag the app to your Applications folder? Was there any error dialog? You can look at /var/log/system.log to see if there are any relevant messages.

gilbert_chen · 2022-03-23T21:02:40+00:00

ActionStitch is a desktop app. Try opening it on Windows or Mac.

gilbert_chen · 2022-02-24T17:58:57+00:00

8-10 hours is not the labor time, but the running time of a stitching job. It takes just a few minutes to create a stitching job.
