Not yet.
I've been waiting for about 18 months for someone to revisit this tech. It's not particularly new technology, but they seem to have increased the range and made it a lot less clunky.
For kite use, it will be a LOT more useful when they ramp up to a mult-channel, two-axis rig. Sorry the excessive geek notation. :embarrased:

Yeah that'd be cool - still someone steals it. Is there a model with C4 inside and a motion-activated trigger in the tripod?shehatesmyhobbies - 29-5-2012 at 07:36 AM
That is pretty sweet! Good for the local field, probably would not work out so well at the big beach, by time I get back to the camera it may have
walked off with a new owner as Kami stated!
Still pretty cool!carltb - 29-5-2012 at 08:05 AM
yea it would be good if it could track vertically aswell. just imagine speeding towards it then popping a huge air over it and it tracks you all the
way. id definately get one .!!! im sure they use something like this in formular 1mougl - 29-5-2012 at 08:11 AM
$349....hmmmm....
Maybe when my atb skills progress...AZKevin - 29-5-2012 at 02:36 PM
Nice idea but like Kamikuza said, till someone steals it.
I used to setup my camera ona tri-pod on corners (motorcycle footage) and people would randomly stop and walk to the camera, inspect it and then once
we came around the corner, then figured it out and left. One lady didnt and tried packing it up....lad - 29-5-2012 at 04:44 PM
from the soloshot.com faqs:
"Question: Is it going to get STOLEN??????
Answer:
SOLOSHOT comes with a built in security feature that allows you to lock your camera to SOLOSHOT with a traditional luggage lock. You can then lock the
system to any nearby or convenient fixed objects like a pole or tree. However, like cars and bicycles, lock things at your own risk and use good
judgment. SOLOSHOT also comes with a bright green LED that only shines in the direction it is pointing. So if you can see the green light, SOLOSHOT
can still see you. Another option is to setup your SOLOSHOT in front of a lifeguard or by some nice people chilling on the beach who are willing to
keep an eye on it for you. Finally, you were willing to ask people to stand on the beach and film you in the past... now you just need to ask them to
relax on the beach while SOLOSHOT does the work!"
I have a couple very loud, keypad code, motion-alarms to place on my beach stuff - but never bothered using them yet.cheezycheese - 29-5-2012 at 05:37 PM
as much as i would like to be excited about this, it's technology like this that's putting me out of a job.... :dunno:crazyherb - 30-5-2012 at 09:56 PM
I thought that's what my 9 year old was for!!
Except for the shakiness, snappy (unrelated) commentary, and easily distraction issues (look at that bird over there), it works great....long
pause.....
Never mind...this is cooler...
