What is a MesoDome?
A MesoDome is a computer controlled robotic camera dome that mounts to the top of your vehicle, and provides up to a 360° view. All MesoDome camera domes are controlled by the MesoDome Controller, a Windows based tornado tracking and camera management application. The acrylic, stainless, steel, and aluminum construction provide lightweight strength built to withstand harsh weather conditions, year after year.
Our Domes:
A MesoDome camera dome is connected to a Windows based PC with a USB cable. The included MesoDome Controller application interfaces with the electronics in the dome, and a serial GPS connection from your GPS. After following a calibration procedure the dome is aware of its location, and the camera heading. This opens the door to automated tracking that "locks on" to the GPS location selected.
There are multiple methods to control the camera pan and tilt. Some methods include, a wireless Xbox style joystick, flight stick joystick, clickable buttons, or clicking on a simulated dome image. Right click on the moving map display and your camera will automatically track the target. Track a moving target while moving. Read more.

Our Domes:
- The MesoDome Storm is a fourth generation camera dome incorporating the latest technology to produce an effective, strong, and stable tracking solution. The Storm uses a 14" acrylic dome and has enough space to accommodate standard small handheld camcorders, or a double 3D GoPro camera.
- The Mini MesoDome - GoPro Edition is a small camera dome designed for use with a GoPro camera. These domes use the same design as the Mini MesoDome, but modified to work with a GoPro camera. Standard 180° rotation with 360° rotation available. Dozens of TV stations have purchased this dome for 2014. It has quickly become our most popular and personal favorite dome.
- The Mini MesoDome is a smaller and simpler camera dome designed for chasers on a budget. It uses a 720p webcam and the same powerful controller software. It has withstood baseball size hail without a scratch. A new feature for 2014 is standard full 360 degree camera rotation.
- If you can't find the right size or shape, we offer customized domes. Our hardware and software can be adapted to build domes as large as 30" tall and 60" wide.
- Already have your own dome? We can convert your dome to work with our software. Read more here!
