Gaging interest on automatic video capture

Hi everyone, I had a problem, my son. Needed footage for coaching, but I love surfing so much I can't stand on the beach filming like the other dads.

So I made a device to automatically track and film him. You can leave it on the beach with a friend or unattended (its alarmed) and it will automatically film you, pan to follow you and only film when you catch a wave. I know theres another device out there that does this, but I e heard mixed reviews and its pretty expensive in my opinion, plus nothing wrong with a little competition right? Just gaging interest to see if I take it further or if it just stays as a garage project for my son to get the shots will i get some waves too.

Is this something you'd invest in to progress your surfing?

Proof that segues are never impossible!

BTW, I don’t leave my sandals on the beach. I did once and they walked away without me. Not a chance I’d leave a camera there and if I did not a chance it would be there when I got back, regardless of any alarm.
