Additional accessories may be required to ensure stable use of MOVIN TRACIN in certain environments. These need to be purchased separately if required.

    • If your computer does not have enough Ethernet ports, please prepare a USB to Ethernet Adapter to maintain a direct connection.

  • Tripod

    • MOVIN TRACIN needs to be installed at a specific height without shaking to obtain optimal data quality. We recommend using a tripod.

    • For mounting with MOVIN TRACIN, please ensure the tripod is compatible with 3/8-inch thread specifications.

    • We recommend using tripods such as SLIK PRO AL-323 that can safely secure the MOVIN TRACIN.

    • For MT-110, set the height to 50cm

    • For MT-20, set the height to 85cm

  • Ensure the tripod legs are spread out fully and stably.

Mount MOVIN TRACIN to the tripod.

Place MOVIN TRACIN on the tripod head.
  • Mounting method varies depending on the type of quick mount on your tripod:

    • Manual Quick Mount:

      • Place MOVIN TRACIN on the tripod head.

      • Turn the quick mount clockwise (to the left) to lock it.

      • To detach, turn it counterclockwise (to the right).

    • Auto Quick Mount:

      • Gently press MOVIN TRACIN down onto the tripod head until it clicks into place automatically.

      • To remove it, rotate the mount clockwise and lift the device.

      • If auto-lock fails, manually rotate the quick mount clockwise before positioning the device.

  • Please check the flat surface by a circular level indicator on the top.

    • If the device is tilted, your motion capture data may become distorted. Reposition the tripod on a stable, flat surface if necessary.

  • Before moving on, double-check that MOVIN TRACIN is firmly secured to the tripod.

Connect the Ethernet cable to your computer’s port.
If Ethernet port is not available, please connect via a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
  • Use the provided Ethernet cable to connect MOVIN TRACIN directly to your computer

    • Avoid connecting through routers or network devices, as this may cause communication errors.

    • If your computer does not have enough Ethernet ports, use a USB to Ethernet Adapter to maintain a direct connection.

Provide the power to MOVIN TRACIN.

Connect the power cable to the MOVIN TRACIN power port.
  • Connect the power cable to the MOVIN TRACIN power port.

  • Wait about 1 to 1.5 minutes until the front green indicator stays steady.

    • If the indicator does not turn on or continues blinking, unplug and replug the power cable. This reset process usually resolves most power-related issues.

If the problem persists even after repeating the reconnect process multiple times, please reach out via the cs-chat channel on the MOVIN Discord server. We’ll assist you as quickly as possible.
