Get the best analysis results by filming your game or swing the right way. Follow these tips for each sport.
🏒 Hockey
Camera position: Elevated center-ice view from the stands or press box — the higher the better.
Framing: Capture the full rink width in frame. Do not zoom in or try to track the puck.
Stability: Use a tripod or rest the camera on a railing. Handheld footage reduces analysis quality.
Glass glare: Avoid shooting through glass if possible. If you must, angle the camera to minimize reflections.
Duration: Record full periods for the most complete analysis.
Jersey numbers: Make sure jersey numbers are readable — this is required for player-specific analysis.
🏀 Basketball
Camera position: Elevated sideline or corner view from the bleachers. Higher angles give better court coverage.
Framing: Capture the full court width. Do not zoom in or track the ball.
Stability: Use a tripod. Avoid handheld shooting — stable footage is critical for frame-by-frame analysis.
Lighting: Ensure the gym is well-lit. Dim gyms produce noisy footage that reduces analysis quality.
Jersey numbers: Readable jersey numbers are required for player-specific analysis.
🏌️ Golf
Pick ONE angle: Film from either face-on (looking at the golfer straight on) or down-the-line (behind the golfer looking at the target). Do not mix angles in one video.
Camera height: Set the tripod at hand/hip height for the best swing plane view.
Distance: Position the camera 8–12 feet from the golfer.
Framing: Keep the full body visible including the club at all points of the swing.
Recording speed: Normal speed (30 or 60 fps) is recommended — it gives the AI accurate timing for speed and tempo analysis. Slow motion (120/240 fps) captures more swing detail but stretches the timestamps, so speed and tempo estimates may be less accurate.
Lighting: Shoot with the sun behind or to the side of the camera. Do not shoot into the sun.
Range sessions: Keep the camera fixed in one position for the entire session so the AI can track consistency across swings.
General Tips (All Sports)
Resolution: Record in 1080p or higher. 4K is great but not required.
Format: MP4 is preferred. MOV and most common video formats also work.
Tripod: Always use a tripod or stable surface. This is the single biggest factor in analysis quality.
Don't zoom: Set your framing at the start and leave it. Zooming in and out makes frame analysis unreliable.
Lighting: Good lighting produces sharper frames. Outdoor daylight is ideal; well-lit indoor venues work fine.
