Use case · Extreme and action sports

Shade cameras on athletes and drones over 4G.

Action formats mount cameras on riders, boards, drones and chase vehicles, across full sun and deep shadow in a single run. A RIO carries control to them over 4G, back to the truck.

The problem

What makes extreme and action sports hard

Unreachable by definition

The best angle is moving at 80 km/h. Physical access ends at the start gate.

Cellular links drop

Cellular links drop in crowds and canyons. Control must survive the gap.

Sun, shade, repeat

A single run crosses exposure extremes that fixed settings cannot follow.

RIO rides along

A pocketable RIO powers from 10-24 V on the rig, controls the camera over USB-C or serial, and reaches the truck over 4G/5G. If that link drops mid-run, the RIO keeps the camera on its last settings until it reconnects.

Shaded like the main fleet

Back at the truck, athlete cams sit on the RCP next to the POVs on CI0, every channel matched into the same cut.
