XbotGo Chameleon AI Auto Sports Action Camera - 4K 60FPS Football Camera and Basketball Tracking Camera for Team Sports, Live Streaming, No Subscription, Works with iOS & Android (Lemon Green)

There are a lot of AI cameras out there and it was a bit difficult for me to decide which one to buy but I was very happy that I finally found one. I'm using it to record my son's football sessions and so the camera works really great. The setup was easy and the app that I had to install on my phone works properly and it connects with the actual product easily. What I really like is that I don't have to pay any subscription and the app allows me to record video and also to adjust certain settings. The tracking is one of the most important aspects because now I don't have to manually record everything because this camera does everything for me. The camera pans and also rotates automatically to follow the players and keeps the ball in frame most of the time even when it moves really fast. It records in 4K which means that I can zoom in and still see the details clearly and because this camera supports 60 frames per second, even when the players on the pitch move really fast there is no delay in the recording. It is a small and compact camera with a good build quality and when I have to take it with me I just put it in my bag and I like that it doesn't take too much space. The battery holds for a long time, and managed to record a whole 90 minutes game and there was still enough power to use it without having to charge it. It records properly, tracking feature is great, this is why this camera is suitable for my needs and it saves me a lot of time by not having to stay focused during the games every chord everything myself.

Last Saturday’s youth league highlights looked as if they’d been filmed from a proper TV gantry, not from a tripod wedged between water bottles. The XbotGo Chameleon records crisp 4K at sixty frames per second through a 120-degree lens, uses on-board AI to follow the flow of play, and streams the lot straight to YouTube. On a fully charged battery mine ran for a shade over eight hours, enough for three matches and the inevitable penalties tacked on at the end. Setting the camera up is about as tricky as boiling a kettle. Open the app, tap connect, and you’re live. A small Bluetooth clicker and an Apple Watch widget mean you can start or stop recording while still herding players into warm-up drills. The tracking software is the real party trick. Instead of jerking from left to right as cheaper rigs do, the picture glides, keeping the action centred so viewers stay focused on the football rather than reaching for travel-sickness tablets. Hoist the Chameleon on a lightweight stand and it copes with basketball too. During a particularly frantic five-a-side near Hackney Marshes it briefly lost the orange ball, though it picked things up again before the next pass. You get 20 GB of free cloud storage, which feels generous until you realise two busy weekends will fill it. I now make a habit of downloading clips to a hard drive after every session, a small price to pay for tidy archives. With its sturdy shell, solid stabilisation, and the welcome absence of any subscription fees, the Chameleon is a bit of kit I’m happy to recommend to coaches and parents who want clean, shareable footage without unnecessary fuss.

When it works, it's good — but there are some major drawbacks. Recording in 4K becomes impossible if you're using a second phone for monitoring; as soon as monitoring is enabled, the system forces a downgrade to 1080p. Once you've marked out the pitch and started recording, there's no option to switch back to 4K mid-session. Tracking can also be unreliable. On several occasions, the camera locked onto footballs left on the sidelines instead of the actual match, so it's worth clearing the area beforehand. The footage can be jerky at times, and the system struggles to keep up with fast-paced play. I've followed multiple setup tutorials, but these issues persist. If you're willing to tolerate the quirks, it's passable for the price — just don't expect flawless performance. *Additional after talking with support you cannot record in 4K using an iPhone using monitor mode only on Android *Updated to 4 stars, the support team were superb with any issues I was having, it doesn't get a 5 though due to the fact it can still be a pain to setup exactly right and the camera can wander

I got the XbotGo Chameleon to film my 10 year old daughter's hockey games so we could watch her progress together as a family. I don't have time for complicated setups, so I appreciated how easy this was to get going. The app installed quickly, connected right away, and everything just worked without me needing to dig through a manual. The AI tracking is impressive and it smoothly follows the action without feeling robotic or jumpy. The video quality is clear even when the lighting changes or the kids are running fast. I also like that it doesn’t require a subscription, so we’re not locked into paying more down the line. The camera is compact and sturdy, fits in my bag easily, and stays steady on a tripod without any wobble. It ran through the full match with power left over, and the footage was simple to transfer. Streaming worked well on both my iPhone and my wife's Android. The battery lasts well. I was able to easily record a 45 min game (with a few breaks) without needing to worry about it dying, and there was still some charge left afterward. I don't expect any difference when she moves up to a full 70 min games. If I had to change one thing, it would be the bright lemon green colour. I reckon lava graphite would look more subtle, and wouldn’t draw so much attention when I’m setting everything up on the sidelines. In terms of cost - yes, it's not exactly cheap, but it delivers. Watching my daughter play back her matches and talk through what she learned makes every penny feel well spent. These memories are worth it.

This product didn't quite suit my needs, it isn't terrible, but didn't track the team well and needed too much manual intervention when I was trying to coach. Anyway, I returned the item, followed the process, still don't have a refund and the timeline for getting one keeps going back despite the tracking saying the product has been received.

Filming the Year 5 football squad on the school field in Cardiff has just leapt forward thanks to a lemon-green XbotGo Chameleon. It records wonderfully crisp 4K footage at 60 frames per second through a 120-degree wide-angle lens, and the built-in stabilisation keeps everything steady even while my boots squelch along the touchline. The onboard AI swivels the gimbal to keep an eye on the entire team, not merely the ball, so I can shout encouragement instead of wrestling with a tripod. The battery seems tireless, lasting the best part of an eight-hour tournament, and the twenty gigabytes of free cloud storage saves yet more space on my already overstuffed phone. Most of the set-up process is straightforward, although the app menus look as though they were designed by someone with a passion for stamp-sized icons. Raise the camera high, otherwise passing parents will drift straight across the frame, and be prepared for the tracking to lose the occasional lightning-fast winger. The colour might be louder than the away fans, but at least nobody is going to trip over the thing. Sharp picture quality, clever features, and the blessed absence of subscription fees add up to cracking value for coaches and teachers who have to watch the pennies.

Footy training in our local park has just stepped up a notch. I strapped the XbotGo Chameleon to an old tripod, linked it to my Android mobile, and it started pumping out 4K, 60-frame footage through its very wide 120-degree lens. The clever AI kept tabs on every single nine-year-old tearing about in midfield. With roughly eight hours in the battery, I can film the minis, grab a brew, then wander back for my own grim Sunday-league cameo without rummaging for a spare pack. The headline act is the auto-tracking. I frame the pitch, tap record on the little Bluetooth clicker or my Apple Watch, and the camera shadows the whole team, not just the ball my mate Steve usually misplaces after three pints. Image stabilisation smooths things out when the wind howls across Manchester’s finest bit of astroturf. Under bargain-basement floodlights the picture is acceptable, although dusk does introduce a touch of grain. The companion app now and then throws a sulk during Wi-Fi handovers, and the 20-gig cloud allowance fills quicker than my daughter’s sticker album, yet exporting highlights afterwards is painless enough. It feels solid in the hand, the image quality is cracking, and, because there is no ongoing subscription, my wallet stays intact. Whether you are coaching, parenting, or an over-competitive software developer, it is a smart little gadget that deserves a spot in the kit bag.

WAs very excited, bought the stand and the umbrella so spent a lot of money on this... Useless. Image quality is good but even at highest speed of tracking it doesn't keep up with football at all. Regularly misses the action. Even if you calibrate it and put the markers of where the pitch is, it ends up tracking someone standing at the side of the pitch. Don't even get me started on the app randomly needing updates and you not being able to use it until you've done the update. Twice now I haven't been able to film any game because I've turned up, set everything up and then opened the app, only to have it say it needs an update and if you're in a bad signal area, good luck. All in all, very disappointed. Build quality is good and it looks the part but it's just terrible at keeping up with the action.
