How XbotGo Chameleon Transformed This Player's Basketball Recording

At our recent Dallas user event, we sat down with Jacob Goodstein, one of our original XbotGo Gimbal and Chameleon users, to discuss his journey from frustrating manual recording to seamless AI-powered sports filming.

The Old Way: Double Camera Struggles

Jacob's previous setup tells a familiar story. "I would set up a tripod with an iPad and one with an iPhone," he explains. "One camera for offense, one camera for defense, trying to catch which one would get each highlight." The result? Creating Instagram reels or highlight videos was "nearly impossible" and required enormous effort just to capture basic footage.

The XbotGo Solution: Instant Problem Recognition

When Jacob first encountered our Chameleon AI sports camera, the solution was immediately obvious. "I knew this is going to solve my problem. All of the highlights unlocked. Offense, defense, less work for me. Easy access. It was just a win."

Watch Jacob share his complete transformation story and see why players and coaches are choosing XbotGo Chameleon for their sports recording needs.

Real-World Impact: Players Want the Footage

The proof is in the reactions. "The first question is, 'What is that?'" Jacob notes, explaining how the camera's unique tracking capabilities immediately capture attention. Once he demonstrates the panning, ball tracking, and gesture control features, players inevitably ask: "Can I get some highlights?"

This wasn't just theoretical—at the Dallas event morning session alone, "four or five players out of 20 reached out to me. Hey, can I see the highlight reels? Can I see the footage?"

Coach's Perspective: Focus on What Matters

From a coaching standpoint, Jacob emphasizes the game-changing nature of automated recording. "You can't be on the bench like tunnel vision into a couple inches of iPhone. I don't have the time for that, I don't have the patience for that."

Instead, coaches can "set the XbotGo up, leave it alone. It's doing its thing and you can actually go do your job. You can enjoy coaching instead of having to worry what's happening."

Objective Game Analysis: "The Film Don't Lie"

Post-game analysis becomes incredibly valuable with comprehensive footage. Jacob shares a specific example: "We're wondering, hey, how could the game have been better? First thing we notice in the footage is, man, these guys are at the free throw line a lot. We didn't have turnovers, but we didn't rebound our own shots."

This objective analysis enables targeted improvements: "Rebound your own shots, fix that for next game. Big win." As Jacob puts it, "The film doesn't lie."

The Future Vision: Universal Adoption

Looking ahead, Jacob sees enormous potential: "I see this being useful for every AAOU club, every person who wants their highlights. You made a once-in-a-lifetime shot one time, no one's ever going to believe you. XbotGo is just going to give you that footage."
