Telemetry Overlay works after the ride. You bring the footage and its data to your computer, line them up, design your gauges and render the result. It works with almost any camera and gives you fine control over every gauge. You do need a computer and some time for each video.
AtlasCam works during the ride. The iPhone records the video and the data together, so there’s nothing to line up. You see your stats while you film, and the export takes a few taps on the phone. The trade-off is that it can only overlay video filmed in AtlasCam.
They also work together. If you film the big edit on an action camera and quick clips on your iPhone, the GPX route AtlasCam saves can go straight into Telemetry Overlay.
Telemetry Overlay’s website lists versions for Windows, macOS and Linux and no phone app. It can use data recorded on a phone, but the editing happens on a computer. AtlasCam is an iPhone app that records the video and the data together. Here’s how it works.
No. AtlasCam overlays the data it recorded alongside the video, so it only works with video filmed in AtlasCam. For GoPro, DJI or Insta360 footage, Telemetry Overlay is the better fit.
Yes. AtlasCam can share a ride’s route as a GPX file using Share Telemetry Only in the ride’s share menu, and Telemetry Overlay reads GPX files.
AtlasCam is free to download and export with. Pro is $2.99 a month, $29.99 a year or $79.99 once. Telemetry Overlay is listed at $199 as a one-time purchase that includes one year of updates and support.
No. Recording, editing the overlay layout and exporting all happen on the iPhone. AtlasCam Studio, the Mac companion app, is there if you want to edit longer rides on a bigger screen.
Telemetry Overlay is a product of its respective owner. AtlasCam isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by it.
