Android Camera Set Up Instructions for Throw Breakdown

‍Before You Record

You can upload up to 6 clips with your intake form.

Recommended clip breakdown:

• 1 clip from the side
• 1 clip from behind
• 1 clip from the front
• 2 to 3 optional clips — routes, drills, or anything specific you want feedback on

If you want SpinLab biomechanics data, your side clip needs to follow the setup instructions below for your phone. This is the clip we run through our analysis software — slow motion, from the side, full body in frame the entire throw.

If you just want coaching feedback, skip the setup instructions and upload your clips however works best for you.

‍

Step 1: Go to the camera app.
Step 2: At the bottom, you will see a 'more' option. Select this.
Step 3: Now you will see a list of options for photo modes and video modes. Select 'Pro Video'
Step 4: On the top icon list, select the option with 'FHD 60' (may say another number). This will be the second from the right.
Step 5: Select 'FHD 120' or 'FHD 240'.
Step 6: Rotate phone so it is set up to record horizontally. Press the red button to record the throw and the red button again to stop.

Throw Setup

• The camera should be as close to the QB as possible while keeping the entire athlete fully in frame the whole throw (typically about 5-8 yards away).
  
  • Do not cut off any part of the body during the throw.
• Record directly from the side.
• Have camera at roughly same height of player.
• Make sure background is not too bright or too dark.
• Acceptable footwork: Step and throw, hitch into throw, cross over, or cross over into hitch.
• DO NOT upload a throw that includes a full drop (3-step, 5-step, rollouts, etc.) as this will reduce data quality and consistency.

See below for example of proper throw setup.

• Be sure to have the entirety of your body and throw in the frame
  

• Start the recording 2 seconds before the throw and end after follow-through.
