BALLERCAM VS TRACE CAMERA

Reliable tracking so you don't miss the action.

Say goodbye to unreliable panning and failed game processing. Sports cameras like Trace have become popular among teams wanting to automatically film and analyze their games, but BallerCam was built to do the same thing in a smarter, simpler, and far more reliable way by harnessing the power of the iPhone you already own. Below, we’ll break down the key differences between BallerCam and Trace so you can decide which solution best fits your athletes, your budget, and your goals

Using just your iPhone, you can capture and share high-quality video in real time, making it the perfect Trace camera alternative for teams who want professional footage without paying extra fees in additional subscriptions.
