I don't count as "knowledgeable" here, but in case helpful: some drones have "follow me" technology. I.e. their firmware contains object-tracking algorithms optimised for locking-on to, and then following, a selected person. Earlier drones used a GPS tether. Links to various discussions of these features: https://www.dronezon.com/drone-reviews/best-follow-me-gps-mode-drone-technology-reviewed/ https://store.dji.com/guides/camera-drone-that-follows-you/ https://www.thedronegirl.com/2020/12/09/best-follow-me-drone/ https://www.rewiresecurity.co.uk/blog/dji-phantom-drone-uav-quadcopter-gps-tracker-tracking-device I realise that drones aren't ideal if your friend is filming her lessons indoors! But it's a market segment that has seen a lot of investment in tracking people with cameras to achieve satisfying cinematography. And some drones might be viable indoors, perhaps? Especially in a large room such as a performance venue, if available. For non-aerial solutions, maybe the following would be a starting point? https://opensource.com/article/20/1/object-tracking-camera-raspberry-pi Good luck to your friend! -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
