Tips & Tricks
Film smarter for better 3D pose analysis
Follow these guidelines to help our computer vision models lock on to your movement and produce the most accurate form insights.
Use your smartphone (prefer vertical)
iPhone or Android both work. Vertical orientation often gives the lifter more pixels.
Record vertically when possible so your full body fills the frame. Horizontal is supported and can be used if your space requires it.
Record more, trim later
Capture a bit of extra footage. You can trim to the exact reps before uploading.
Start recording slightly before your attempt and let it run briefly after the final rep. Use the in‑app trimmer to keep only the relevant portion.
Adjust from “standard” angles
Classic squat side-angle for depth can hide joints. Shift to reveal more of the body.
For squats, a 30–45° offset from the side usually exposes hips, knees, and ankles while still capturing depth. More visible joints = better 3D reconstruction.
Reduce obstructions when possible
Racks and plates are handled well, but fewer obstructions improves accuracy.
Avoid people crossing the frame and keep equipment from blocking hips, knees, and ankles. Keep the full body visible from head to toe.
Recommended recording settings
Simple defaults that work everywhere
- Resolution: 1080p (720p minimum)
- Frame rate: 30–60 fps (avoid slow‑mo)
- Keep the entire body in frame at all times
- Ensure the barbell is visible throughout the lift
Experiment and iterate
