How to Film a Swing MotionEdge Can Read
Three things decide whether the reading is usable. You need enough light, a camera that stays still, and a frame rate that can time the swing. The long versions are linked below. This is the short one.
How much light do I need?
MotionEdge starts the shutter at 1/250 second so the club is sharp, and it needs enough light to hold that. In a dim room the shutter slows and the club blurs. Outdoors and a bright bay are the easy cases. How the shutter moves is in exposure and motion blur.
Where do I put the camera?
Set up face-on or down-the-line, and keep the camera still through the swing. A shaky phone makes the hands look like they moved when the camera moved. A tripod, or any mount that does not shift, is the fix. What that does to the 10 positions is in filmstrip and video quality.
What frame rate should I use?
MotionEdge can record at 30, 60, 120, or 240 fps when the camera supports that rate. A new install starts at 60 fps, the rate for most range sessions. 120 fps is finer slow motion and a larger file. 30 fps is not recommended, because impact is only a frame or two.
In a simulator bay with a projector, use 60 fps and turn Fast-Shutter off. At 120 or 240 fps the projector can flicker between frames, and automatic impact detection is less reliable. Body tracking still runs. The full note is indoor simulator frame rate. Every capture control is on the camera screen.
