The camera is also powered by a rechargeable battery, so users no longer need to search for a power source on gamedays. Poor Weather, No Problem: Focus Flex is weatherproof, so teams can set it and forget it with the confidence they'll have high-quality video, rain or shine. This gives coaches and athletes the ability to start preparing immediately for their next opponent without worrying about SD card capacity or missed moments by videographers. Immediate Post-Game Review: The upload process occurs immediately, so top plays can be shared on social media within minutes of the final whistle and film can be made available for players to watch on the ride home. In addition, teams can upload schedules to enable automatic recording at game time. The struggle to find an attentive, reliable cameraperson to record games is no longer a concern, as there is no work left to do once the camera is set up and starts recording. Set Up is Easy – And No Cameraperson Is Necessary: Focus Flex weighs less than five pounds, making it the perfect size for easy deployment at travel practices and games. Focus makes it easy with HD footage, a camera designed for the soccer pitch, effortless setup and automatic player-tracking ability. High-Quality Video: It has been notoriously difficult for club soccer teams to record high-quality video due to poor vantage points, lackluster equipment and inadequate camerapeople.
Key benefits for teams using Hudl Focus Flex include: Users can have total control of their camera from a range of devices with the tap of a button, by using the free-to-download Hudl Focus app. Used by more than 180,000 global sports teams at every level including 18,000 soccer teams in the U.S., Hudl makes every step of the sports preparation process, from setup to film study, easier, with quick access to training or game film for near real-time review. We plan to expand the capabilities of Focus Flex aggressively beyond soccer and into other sports in need of a mobile automatic recording solution." Getting quality film for sports like soccer, especially on the go, is a very real challenge.

We're excited to continue bringing professional-level player-tracking and livestreaming technology to the masses through this new portable solution. Hudl CEO David Graff commented, "Our mission of making every moment count starts with high quality video. With the launch of Focus Flex, participants in club sports and on traveling teams such as soccer will be able to access the same capabilities from the sideline, without having to enlist a parent to film the game or worry about weather conditions. More than 5,500 Focus cameras have been permanently installed in stadiums and gymnasiums by high school and college football, basketball and volleyball teams, capturing more than 285,000 games and streaming over 124,000 of those games to fans-all automatically, with no cameraperson required. It can’t juggle more than a half dozen apps without some slow down, but in individual games it ticks along nicely.The new camera builds upon the success of Hudl Focus Indoor and Hudl Focus Outdoor, both of which allow sports teams to capture HD video from the perfect angle using A.I.-powered player-tracking technology.
All in all though, it’s a smooth performing little tablet.

There’s only 16GB of storage however, which means this is never going to be a little media centre stuffed full of content - just a streaming device.

The rest of technical specs are above what you’d expect for the price, with not-bad speakers positioned in rather ugly grilles on the back of the device (though this means they boom a little better when it’s place flat on its back) and solid 1.8 GHz processor running a relatively unencumbered Android KitKat 4.4.2. We would have liked it just a little brighter, however, and you’re not going to get much use out of it in direct sunlight – it’s an indoors pet.
It’s far from exceptional as far as displays go but it’s a hell of an improvement on the first Hudl (with a meagre 1400 x 900 resolution) and browsing the web and watching films is sharp and enjoyable. The screen itself has been expanded to 8.3-inches and is now fully HD with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. The rear of the Hudl 2: grippable plastic, but smudgy and with ugly speaker grilles.
