Hardware Requirements

What you need to get started

📷 Camera

The only hard requirement is a camera that can be set up to take pictures at regular intervals.

Recommended:

  • - Cameras with built in GPS will ensure time syncing happens automatically
  • - Hydrophobic coating on lense reduces chances that water droplets block stripes
  • - Gopro Hero 11 and 13 meet these specifications

🎨 Draft Stripes

Fluorescent insignia works the best as its distinct from other colors the camera sees.

Recommendations

  • Red, Orange, Yellow, or Green - Choose based on other colors/decals on your sail
  • Avoid vinyl tapes - The glossy finish picks up sun glare
