The Jigabot EX Professional (Gen 3) is a robotic camera assistant that automatically aims a camera at a person moving around a stage, classroom or venue, so talks, lessons and sermons can be recorded or live-streamed without a camera operator. It sits between a tripod and the camera and pans to follow the subject, who wears a small infrared 'Dot' or 'Dot Lanyard'. Rather than face tracking, the unit scans for the Dot about 100 times per second and picks out its unique signal pattern from everything else in the room, which Jigabot says makes it more dependable indoors than AI tracking. Jigabot quotes tracking from about 6 feet up to 200 feet indoors and payloads of up to 18 lb on its home page (other pages say cameras and lenses up to 15 lb). It works with any camera, from phones, tablets, laptops and USB webcams to cinema cameras with follow-focus rigs, and can also carry teleprompters, lights, microphones or a laptop showing slides. Each Dot uses one of four signal patterns, so up to four people can be tracked at once and any number of units can follow the same person for multi-camera shoots; two units on a bracket give pan and tilt. Operation is one button: power the unit on, switch on the Dot and it starts tracking, with no app, pairing or configuration needed, and it stays put when powered off, so permanent installations can run from a single switch. The housing is anodized aluminum, motion is silent and smooth enough for live production, and the electronics, software and parts are designed and made in the USA. It is sold with a 10-day money-back guarantee and a 12-month service warranty.
