NOTE: You should have at least 3.5 GB of space available on your device (based on iPhone 12, shooting standard HD (1080x1920, 30 fps)

The Basics

• Round recordings should be done in vertical orientation
• Position the camera behind the hitting area so that your entire body/swing and the screen can be seen
• Keep the recording angle the same during the entire round
• Consider making two recordings: one for the front 9 and one for the back 9. This reduces file size and makes the upload process easier
• Do not pause the video — incomplete recordings may result in disqualification

Best Practices

• Fix your phone/camera on a tripod — asking a friend to hold the camera is not recommended
• Consider supplemental lighting if possible — we want to see your smiling face!
• Set the simulator screen/projector brightness to max (ask your facility manager for help if necessary)
• Put your phone in flight mode / enable “do not disturb” so you don’t receive calls or notifications that may disrupt your recording
