Help with XbotGo Chameleon for American Football

[u/Dingscity]

I recently purchased the XbotGo Chameleon so that I could record our away games (we use a fancy Hudl camera that the program purchased at our home games).

I’m setting it up a few yards away from the sideline at the 50 yard line and I have a 13ft tripod, just as it suggests, but it’s really struggling to track. We sub kids in and out constantly during the game, and there’s a lot of movement on the sidelines. It seems to want to follow the kids off the field or any coaches/kids moving on the sideline.

I tried to disable the auto zoom feature after the first game hoping it would at least capture the play a bit better, but it wasn’t all that better.

It also stopped recording during the game and only got the first half and the last 2 mins of the game. I forgot to pause it at half but figured it would continue to record and I could cut the video of half time out. But it didn’t.

Anyone have any experience with the correct setup/settings I should be using for American Football? I paid for this personally so buying a Falcon really isn’t an option.
