Pixellot is a permanent multi-lens panoramic camera install for stadiums and venues — typically A$4,000+ hardware plus an annual subscription. For most grassroots clubs and academies, that's far above budget. Trackd is the portable A$199 alternative: motorised AI mount that runs off your iPhone, no permanent install, no subscription.
