XbotGo Pan Angle: Best Settings for Every Sport

Understanding when and how to adjust XbotGo's pan angle settings ensures optimal field coverage for every sport and venue size. This critical setting controls your camera's side-to-side movement range.

Understanding Pan Angle Functionality

What Pan Angle Controls:

The Pan Angle refers to the range of movement of your XbotGo device from side to side. This setting determines how far left and right your camera will rotate during auto-tracking sessions.

Adjustment Benefits:

You can adjust the pan angle to either narrow or widen the panning movement based on your specific recording needs and field constraints.

When to Adjust Pan Angle

Sport-Specific Optimization:

Wide-field sports (soccer, football) require maximum pan angle for full field coverage
Court sports (basketball, tennis) benefit from moderate pan angles
Track events need narrow pan angles for focused lane coverage
Individual training sessions use minimal pan angles for specific area focus

Venue Considerations:

Large outdoor fields = Wide pan angle settings
Indoor gymnasiums = Medium pan angle range
Practice facilities = Narrow, focused pan angles
Multi-camera setups = Coordinated angle limitations

Environmental Factors:

Obstacle avoidance requires limited pan angles to prevent camera collision
Spectator proximity may necessitate restricted movement ranges
Equipment placement affects optimal pan angle configuration

Configuration Best Practices

Optimal Settings Process:

Test different pan angle configurations during practice sessions to determine ideal ranges for your specific sports and venues before important game recordings.
