Veo for hurling

    So we (well one of our sponsors) took the plunge and got a Veo camera, we're a hurling club.

    I tried it last week and it seemed to work pretty well, followed the bal and some player movement.

    Today I set it up the same and I notice it didn't follow the ball at all. Is there a setting I'm missing? I don't think I changed any settings.

    The game recorded perfectly and I can follow the play 'manually' with the mouse and zoom in etc.

    Strange one, but I'm just learning on the hoof. Any advice?

    That unfortunately can happen with Veo and Hurling with the ball being so small

    A white helmet or two and you’re caught out if those white helmets are making sudden movements etc

    It’s a super piece of equipment but it’s not made for Hurling (hence why they don’t advertise it). They must love when people involved in hurling reach out to them even though they’ve done no marketing for it.

    It was a stupid user error on my part. Only second time out but so far so good.

    Get what you mean re the white helmets tho

    Funny one in a match before, around 15 seconds before throw-in, a couple of lads are doing the usual pushing and shoving up in the 21 - Normal camera completely misses throw-in and first 15/20 seconds of action

    Similar can happen when the ball goes dead and there's fairly substantial movement away from the Puckout/Lineball etc.

    The thing is, it still captures everything so you can zone in on what you need to when playing afterwards in interactive mode.

    Hi, I had the same situation in the first trial run of VEO on a hurling match. What was the error you had? Maybe I was the same!

    The more I see VEO for Hurling, the more it frustrates me. It's not good enough for the sport. The main camera doesn't follow play enough. I'd expect a manual camera person to follow play 99% of the time. I'd say the main VEO camera has a 90% success rate and the zoom can be poor at times too with the main cam.

    I did mention in a previous post that they don't advertise that it's set up for Hurling, but they are still selling it to Hurling clubs.

    Well I think so. Seven or eight matches recorded since and they've been fine. I don't bother stopping it at HT anymore
