## What is SkiCam?

SkiCam is your ultimate hands-free camera operator for waterskiing, wakeboarding, and any sport where you can’t hold the phone but still want epic footage.
Just set your phone up, and SkiCam automatically starts recording when the action begins – no cameraman required.

Key Features
	•	Automatic Recording Triggers
Set a speed threshold and let SkiCam detect when you’re up and riding. Recording starts when you hit the speed, and stops when you slow down.
	•	GPS Zone Triggers
Mark two points on the water to define a filming zone. SkiCam only records inside your chosen area – perfect for capturing passes, tricks, or tournament runs.
	•	Direction-Based Recording
Record only when moving within a set direction (North, South, East, West, or custom). Perfect for consistent filming passes or slalom runs.
	•	Custom Camera Settings
Choose resolution, framerate, and front/rear camera for the perfect shot. Adjust zoom and lock manual focus to keep the subject sharp at all times.
	•	High Shutter Speed Mode (New!)
Reduce motion blur in fast or low-light shots for sharper, pro-quality footage.
	•	Delay Timer & Speed Hold
Fine-tune the start and stop delay so your clips include the full action without wasted footage.
	•	Coaching Mode & Instant Replay
Review your last run immediately after stopping. Great for self-coaching or driving + coaching.
	•	Power & Screen Management
Optionally turn the screen off while recording to save battery, or let SkiCam manage it automatically when recording starts and stops.
	•	Perfect for Multiple Sports
Waterskiing, wakeboarding, barefooting – if you move, SkiCam can film it.
