This Veo 2 camera tutorial is for the soccer dads, moms, managers, and coaches who are using your Veo 2 camera for the first time. We know how it feels, you walk to the sideline to setup your soccer camera in front of all the fans. Hopefully this veo camera review of features will prepare you for the first game. Just as our players practice to get ready for the match, this soccer camera tutorial is your chance to prepare to record soccer games.

For example, I was setting up a camera at a showcase game and the volunteer taking down the Veo from the game before had obviously never collapsed the 23 ft tripod. After seeing him struggle briefly I interrupted and showed him the trick to folding it up.

As he smiled sheepishly I texted him the link to this video and warned him it was about 20 minutes long. After that I took the time to add a menu in the video description to all the things it covers. I’ve added links below to each section of the video, it covers frequently asked questions we get from teams, coaches, and parents.

Where to Setup Veo Camera

One question we get a lot is where to setup your Veo camera. The answer is that it’s pretty flexible, you can put it most places along the sideline and it will record your game. This section of the video shows you where to position your camera and what to think about in terms of where the sun is compared to the camera.

Veo Camera Stream & Charge

You can livestream and charge from the top of your tripod. This section shows how we stream and charge during the game from over 20 ft up.

One reason I made this video is that I’ve been promising the parents and coaches who order our Veo Camera Rookie guide an update for the newer camera.

When I drove my daughter to referee some games there was an empty field so I setup the Veo and recorded what I thought new camera owners like you might want to see about the camera (please excuse the cheering and coaching in the background, the fields next to us were full of soccer games going on).

A written guide is helpful but some of the things are just much easier to show in a video than to explain in a guide, kind of like soccer. If you try and explain a certain moment in a game to your player and what they could have done differently they probably give you a blank stare OR nod and pretend to know what you’re talking about.

But if you recorded the game you can pull up that moment on your phone and show them what they could do differently next time. So hopefully this Veo camera tutorial helps as you get to know your camera and get ready to record your first games.
