When it comes to making use of the auto-tracking feature, the process is almost as simple as the initial iPhone pairing. With the stand turned on (displaying a white light) and the phone attached, open a video recording app and push the button on the front of the stand once so that the light turns green.
Whether or not you start recording is up to you, but as long as the iPhone is accessing the video camera (and the stand light is green) it will automatically detect subjects in front of it and start tracking. Said subjects need to be identifiable human faces, which is reliant on the iPhone camera’s capabilities, but that’s it. Once a subject is identified the stand will continue to track them as they move — adjusting with upwards and downwards tilt, as well as 360 degrees of full rotation.
How smooth the tracking is depends on the subject’s motion, and to an extent the lighting conditions, but most of the time it should be stutter-free. However, one oddity is how it sometimes has trouble keeping its target subject centered when the iPhone is in a Landscape (horizontal) orientation. It still tracks just fine, but slightly to the left or right.
Meanwhile, there is some nuance in getting the stand to reset to a neutral position after tracking is finished. Turning off tracking or closing the video app will leave the stand orientation unchanged, so what you have to do is switch the Camera app from Video to Photo mode. At this point the stand will automatically adjust the tilt so that it’s more perpendicular (if not slightly up-angled) to the ground.
