How Trace Works | Setup, Film, Get Highlights

How to get started

Capture

You or someone on your team gets a Trace kit. Includes smart camera, portable tripod, and carrying cases.

You and any parent on the team can subscribe to your child’s highlights. Family members can subscribe too!

Bring Trace

You or someone on the team brings the Trace kit to the field. Our 16-foot tripod is easy to transport in a 4 foot long case (under 10 lbs).

Set up

Set the tripod midfield and use your Trace Teams app to get the camera in 15 mins to start recording. We record, follow your player, and do all the rest.

Sit back

No need to stop at half time. No need to fumble with your phone to capture the game. Just sit back, cheer for your player, and enjoy the game.
