Placing the Ball and Phone on Separate Surfaces to Avoid Vibration

Stable camera footage is critical for accurate tracking.

When the ball is struck, it creates vibrations through the ground. If your phone is on the same surface, those vibrations transfer directly into the camera.

This can reduce tracking quality or cause missed shots.

Why Vibration Affects Tracking

• Impact sends vibrations through the hitting surface
• The phone picks up this movement
• Camera shake reduces image clarity
• Blurred frames lead to poor or failed detection

Correct Setup

• Place the ball on a separate hitting surface
• Keep the phone or tripod on a different surface

Examples:

• Ball on a mat, phone on solid ground
• Ball on turf, phone on a separate platform

What to Avoid

• Ball and phone on the same mat
• Ball and tripod connected through the same surface
• Any setup where impact vibrations can travel to the phone

What Happens If You Don’t

• Jittery or unstable footage
• Missed shot detection
• Inconsistent or inaccurate shot data
