Follow-Me is a remote follow spot control and performer tracking system that integrates easily into any lighting infrastructure. Where traditional methods of using FOH or truss mounted follow spots impose costs and rigging implications, Follow-Me offers a cost saving, quick to implement alternative.
Using a single Follow-Me system, with just one camera, you are capable of following multiple performers with multiple fixtures each. Performers can either be tracked manually using the Follow-Me Mouse Consoles, or be tracked automatically using Follow-Me Track-iT tags.
Any fixture
In Follow-Me, you can use any fixture as a follow-spot. As long as your fixture is able to pan & tilt, Follow-Me can control it*.
Unlimited fixtures
With a single system, you can utilize an unlimited amount of fixtures as a follow-spot. Easily assign fixtures to performers through Follow-Me or the lighting console.
Multiple performers
You can follow multiple performers with a single system. All you require is additional Follow-Me Mouse Consoles or Follow-Me Track-iT tags to follow more performers.
Any stage layout
Follow-Me utilizes a 3D mesh on which performers are followed. This can be used to easily map any stage or performance area, including its height differences.
Merge & integrate
Follow-Me can be merged and integrated with all lighting consoles and automation systems. Follow-Me works with PSN, Art-Net and sACN.

Follow-Me 3D new features
#1 - 3D Mesh
Follow-Me can now be used for any stage lay-out. Heights and size of the stage do not matter. You can now use an unlimited amount of calibration points in our new 3D mesh editor, making Follow-Me suitable for both simple and complex shows.
#2 - Fixture position refinement
The position and orientation of fixtures can now be registered with great accuracy. This will make the beams very precise on your performers, making sure that they are in the spotlight wherever they go on stage.
#3 - Camera calibration
In Follow-Me, camera calibration is now used to always display a crosshair with much higher accuracy. Calibration points can now be projected to their corresponding location on the video screen. Heights are no longer an issue for crosshair visualisation, as the camera is now calibrated with the performance area.
#4 - Laser measure integration
Measuring of the stage is now much easier due to the Leica laser pointer integration. Measurements performed with the Leica S910 can be directly communicated through to Follow-Me, simplifying the set-up of your mesh.
#5 - iOS application
Performing stage measurements is made much easier with the use of the Follow-Me iOS application. This is an easy-to-use application allowing you to set up your Follow-Me showfile efficiently. Sync your phone with the laser and with Follow-Me afterwards to sync all your measurements.
#6 - sACN protocol
Follow-Me becomes an even more flexible system with its sACN network protocol integration. Implement Follow-Me into your lighting infrastructure using Art-Net, sACN, or both at the same time.
Follow-Me Track-iT
Follow-Me Track-iT allows for automatic tracking of performers, providing excellent and accurate positioning information. Scaling up with or from a Follow-Me 3D SIX system, Follow-Me Track-iT becomes a very powerful auto tracking follow-spot system with access to all the unique features and functions within the Follow-Me 3D SIX System for controlling the lighting fixtures. We provide the performers with compact tags that communicate their positioning information to Follow-Me Track-iT.
Follow-Me Track-iT allows the user to use both manual and auto tracking simultaneously, autonomously and as redundancy within one system. The system can easily scale based on your show requirements: To follow more performers just add more tags, and to extend the performance area just add more anchors. The performance area can be increased in size with no real limit to the trackable performance area.
