Game video equipment

With the battery back up we had NO problem even with an all day tournament. Never even had to use the extra battery we have. And the entire day, 5 games, barely even drained the back up at all. That thing is awesome (if you got the one I messaged you about or something similar). I think we use the regular width and it gets the whole field. We usually put it just right or left of home plate, on the backstop, so that we can see the batter and pitcher. If you put it right behind, you often get a lot of umpire back instead. One thing we have not figured out yet is the best way to film night games. The quality isn't as good, more blurry, the lights seem very bright. I'm not sure if there's a setting for that but we haven't figured it out if there is.

Got my new toy (*ahem* I mean my DD's much needed tool for her development *ahem*) in the mail yesterday and the LynkSpyder will be arriving today. I'm curious to know how the lefty batters look on the video if you place the video behind the right handed batter?

Dod, if you have a lefty batter, I believe it is recommended to use the let side of the plate. Just depends on what is your main focus of the video. Got that from lynkspyder video though so maybe someone else will have actual experience.

I got my setup ready. Went with the GoPro hero 4 LCD, added the battery pack, lynkspyder, and tool pouch. Tourney tomorrow so I'm excited to try it out! So far it's very easy to use.

What various settings are you using to get the most out of the battery and memory? Frame speed, width, lighting etc.

Thanks

I know we talked in an email, but thought I would update the group on the settings we recommend:
Resolution: 1080p (non-Superview)
Frames Per Second: 60
Field Of View: Medium (to start with....adjust as needed(
Beeps: Off
LEDs: Off



If the camera is mounted low, it will be tricky to get a shot of both lefty and righty batters. However, the higher you place the camera, the better chance you have of seeing both.

By seeing both, you mean at the moment of impact, right? When the ball crosses the plate?

Yes, impact, but swing mechanics as well. If you mount it low, you will shoot through the plate ump and miss the batter on the opposite side.
