VIDEO recordings of horse riding sessions can have many benefits, for example video recordings allow the rider and coach to review and analyse training sessions afterward and can be used to map progress. Videos can also be useful for advertising purposes. However, the problem with getting videos of yourself and your horse is finding someone with the time and expertise to make a recording that is useable. Robot cameramans that are capable of tracking and videoing you as you exercise your horse are now widely available, they are now so sophisticated that they can even zoom automatically to ensure that you and your horse fill the entire frame.

Last July, I reviewed the Soloshot2 robot cameraman and overall I was very pleased with the device. However, one major drawback was that it would not function properly indoors, in an indoor arena for example. The most recent robot cameraman I have reviewed is the Pixio Move ‘N See robot cameraman and I was pleased to find it works well indoors, even in poorly lit indoor arenas.
