## What is SlalomCam?

SlalomCam is an iPhone camera app designed specifically for filming slalom waterskiing from the boat.

Set your preferred trigger speed and SlalomCam automatically starts recording as the boat reaches that speed, then stops when the boat slows down again. No need for someone in the boat to constantly operate the camera.

AUTOMATIC RECORDING

Using the iPhone’s GPS speed, SlalomCam automatically starts and stops recording during a ski set.

Choose your trigger speed in either km/h or mph and SlalomCam takes care of the recording.

AUTOMATIC SKIER FOCUS

SlalomCam uses Apple Vision to automatically detect the skier before the pass.

The camera focuses on the skier and holds focus steady during recording, helping prevent spray, wake and background movement from pulling focus away.

ADVANCED STABILISATION

Choose from:

• Standard
• Pro Wide
• Pro Ultra Wide

Pro modes use the strongest compatible stabilisation available for the selected iPhone camera, resolution and frame rate.

SlalomCam 4.0 further improves Pro stabilisation and camera exposure behaviour for smoother footage and better motion clarity during high-speed skiing.

VIDEO MODES

• 720p at 60 fps
• 1080p at 60 fps
• 4K at 30 fps
• 4K at 60 fps

Available combinations depend on the camera hardware in your iPhone.

PASS INFORMATION OVERLAY

Optionally add skier information directly to the saved video, including:

• Requested ski speed
• Rope length / line length

Supported rope lengths range from 18.25 m / 15 off through to 9.75 m / 43 off.

The displayed requested speed is manually selected pass information and is not a measurement of actual boat speed.

BUILT FOR THE BOAT

• Automatic landscape operation
• Pinch-to-zoom with live zoom display
• Front and rear camera support
• Automatic skier focus
• GPS speed-triggered recording
• Microphone audio recording
• Automatic saving to Photos
• Improved reliability across repeated ski passes

Mount the phone, select your settings and let SlalomCam handle the recording.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.0 — 2026-09-04

SlalomCam 4.0 brings our most advanced camera and stabilisation update yet.

• Improved Pro stabilisation for smoother on-water footage
• Enhanced motion-focused exposure to help keep fast-moving skiers sharper
• More reliable automatic recording start and recovery
• Improved camera and audio session handling
• Automatic skier detection and focus using Apple Vision
• Smarter focus fallback when the skier is not freshly detected
• Improved support for repeated passes without restarting the app
• Continued support for 720p60, 1080p60, 4K30 and 4K60 recording
• Optional skier speed and rope-length information on saved videos

SlalomCam remains simple: set your speed, mount your iPhone and ski.

### 3.2 — 2026-09-01

Pass information is now easier to see at a glance.

The top-left pass control now displays your selected speed and rope length directly on the camera screen.

When using metric, it shows the selected speed and rope length in metres. When using mph, it automatically displays the corresponding “off” value — for example 34mph / 28off.

### 3.1 — 2026-08-21

Automatic Skier Focus

SlalomCam now uses Apple’s Vision framework to automatically detect the skier and focus the camera before each pass.

Once recording begins, focus is held steady to help prevent spray, wake and background movement from pulling focus away from the skier.

No tapping, selecting or manual focusing required — mount your iPhone, set up your pass and let SlalomCam take care of the camera.

This update also includes performance and reliability improvements.

### 3.0 — 2026-08-07

Added Pro Wide setting which selects a different lens to improve stabilisation on some phone

### 2.1 — 2026-07-20

Backend improvements
