Record with a smartphone or camera capable of HD (720p or higher). Most modern smartphones meet this standard, but always double-check your settings to ensure you’re recording in the highest quality available. Place your device on a tripod or stable surface to avoid shaky footage.
Lighting makes all the difference. Choose a well-lit and open space, preferably with natural daylight or bright indoor lighting. Keep the athlete fully in frame and avoid cluttered backgrounds, as distractions can interfere with accurate tracking.
Frame the athlete from head to toe, including any movement-related equipment. Cropped or zoomed-in clips can miss important actions, leading to incomplete or inaccurate analysis.
Even with good footage, a weak internet connection can cause corrupted uploads or delays in processing. Use Wi-Fi or a strong mobile network to ensure smooth and complete video uploads.
Always take a quick look at your recording before uploading. Check for clear resolution, steady framing, and full visibility of movements. Fixing issues at this stage saves time and ensures your analysis report is reliable.
Think of your recording setup as part of your training routine. The better the video quality, the more accurate your GameRunIQ insights will be — helping you improve faster and smarter.
