SkiCam vs Phonas

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.

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.
