The 20-Second Pre-Flight Check

A tiny habit that prevents most failed analyses.

2 min

Before you swing

Run this list: Am I fully in frame? Is the camera steady (propped or held still)? Is the light on my face, not behind me? Am I using the same angle as last time? Is it the right sport and motion selected?

Twenty seconds here saves you from a low-confidence read and a re-record later.

Key takeaways

  • Full frame, steady camera, good light, same angle, right motion.
  • A quick check now prevents a re-record later.

Recording a Better Video

  1. 1. Which camera setup helps most?

  2. 2. For a fair retest you should use the same camera angle as your baseline.
