Common Questions

What iPhone models are supported?
Any iPhone that supports 120 FPS video (iPhone 13 Pro and later). Older models work at 60 FPS with reduced accuracy.
Do I need a tripod?
No — any stable surface works. A board ledge, equipment bag, or propped up with a water bottle is fine. The more stable, the better the background model.
How accurate is the speed reading?
Under good conditions (proper calibration, 120+ FPS, good lighting), accuracy is typically within 2–5 mph. Confidence rating tells you how well the algorithm tracked each shot.
