Camera setup

Position the camera behind the hitting area so that your entire body/swing and the screen can be seen.

Keep the viewing angle the same during the entire round.

Incomplete or manipulated recordings may result in disqualification.

Put your phone in flight mode / enable “do not disturb” so you don’t receive calls or notifications that may disrupt your recording

Recording – Basics

Use your smartphone’s standard camera settings (recommended: 1080p, 30 fps)

Ensure you have at least 3.5 gb of storage space per player in the recording (expect roughly 30 minutes of footage, per person playing)

Consider making two recordings: one for the front 9 and one for the back. This reduces file size and makes the upload process easier.

Uploading

It is recommended to upload via a computer with a stable internet connection

Round recordings should be uploaded to trackman.wetransfer.com.

Note: uploading from your phone may result in significantly longer upload times (and technical issues)

Ensure your device doesn't go into sleep or lock mode during upload.

Upload your footage on the same day you play your tournament round.

Submit

Please include the following information.

Your name, TrackMan account email, social handles, round information, and descriptions of any highlights or issues.

See help center for additional information on uploading to wetransfer.
