Note

Video recorded by an external camera remains on the camera itself and is separate from the app's built-in video functionality. This footage does not consume device storage but is also not available for in-app playback or rendering. TrackAddict's built-in video feature can be used simultaneously to capture a second angle via the device's internal camera, which will be available for playback and rendering within the app after the session.
