That is really cool - is the red shirt part of the object detection?
Yep, it is using a very simple object detection method which looks for an object of a particular colour. I have actually have actually built another one (version 1) which works the same way as the Soloshot, i.e. using a "tag" with a GPS which transmits the subject position back to the camera unit. I have tested/used that to film my RC models and also me riding my electric skateboard. I havent been brave enough to test it on the SUP yet as I am not sure I have got the tag properly waterproofed. The video object detection method has a few advantages, apart from not needing the tag, there is a lot less setup as you don't have to wait for the GPS to get a lock and calibrate the postion/orientation of the camera unit.
