Where do I put the USF.Go?
A good spot gives you a complete and usable picture.
The camera films the whole pitch in one panoramic image and automatically follows the play within it. To do that, it needs to see the entire pitch.
- Make sure the complete pitch and both goals are in view. Check this in the USF.Go app with the preview image (see Camera setup: panorama and pitch calibration)
- Extend the mast high enough so players on the far side don't disappear behind players on the near side
- Make sure nothing is directly in front of the camera: no dugout, fencing, spectators or staff
- Set the tripod down firmly and tighten all knobs well, so the camera doesn't move during the match
How high?
We recommend a height of 5 to 6 metres. Don't extend all the sections of the mast fully, but to about two thirds of their length. Extend the thinnest section, directly below the camera, a little less than the other sections. The further you extend a section, the wobblier the mast gets, especially in the wind.
