BallerCam Alternative: Trackd at A$199 With a Mount

BallerCam is an iPhone-case-form AI soccer camera — the phone itself, in a wide-angle case, is the camera. Works on iPhone 13 Pro or newer. Trackd is the motorised-mount alternative: instead of the phone being the camera, the phone is the sensor and a motorised mount physically pans and tilts to follow the ball. A$199 hardware, no subscription, works on any iPhone 12 or newer.

Trackd vs BallerCam at a glance

iPhone case vs motorised mount

These are two structurally different product approaches. BallerCam puts the phone in a wide-angle case and crops digitally to follow the action — no physical movement, the framing is a selection within a wide capture. Trackd uses the phone's native lens and physically pans and tilts the mount to follow the ball — broadcast-style framing with real motion. Both work; the look is different.

Phone compatibility matters

• BallerCam: iPhone 13 Pro or newer (Pro models only — needs the ultra-wide on the back camera).
• Trackd: iPhone 12 or newer (any model — Mini, regular, Pro, Pro Max).
• If you have an iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 13, or 13 Mini: BallerCam won't work, Trackd will.
• If you have an iPhone 14 Pro or newer: both work.

When BallerCam is the right pick

• You already own iPhone 13 Pro or newer and don't want extra hardware to carry.
• Solo training where you can prop the phone against a backpack.
• Travel-light filming where every gram counts.
• Comfort with digital crop framing rather than physical pan-tilt motion.

When Trackd is the right pick

• You have an iPhone 12 or 13 (non-Pro) and BallerCam won't work for you.
• You want broadcast-style framing with real motion, not a digital crop.
• You're filming team matches where the ball moves across the full pitch.
• You want lower price (A$199 vs A$385+).
• You want zero subscription (BallerCam has an optional paid tier; Trackd has no paid tier).
