We have been exceptionally pleased with the QM-1 portable camera mount. We have told all our tennis friends about the QM-1 as well as those who have asked us at tournaments about the product. In fact, one of our friends just ordered the bundle.

We wanted to write you a note to thank you for your excellent customer service. The QM-1 product is a great tool for serious junior tennis players. Both of our teenagers have really benefitted from its use. They record their matches and review them with their coach – they are learning a great deal about technique and strategy. The pole is easy to use and stands up to a lot of use (and abuse!). Your post-purchase support has been stellar…

I recommend your product wholeheartedly!

I love my QM-1 and use it all the time

We videotape our men’s and women’s tennis teams with the QM-1 Camera Mount… The QM-1 has allowed us to take our team to the next level.

First of all, I want to tell you how amazing your product is. It’s become an invaluable and central training tool that we use to grow and evolve my son’s tennis skills and abilities. At 10 years old, Spencer, my son, has the ability to consistently hit the ball wherever he wants off both sides in whatever manner he wants to do it (e.g. heavy topspin, flat, slice). However, there is a huge opportunity to teach him the strategies that should and will dictate where he hits the ball. We’ve been using the game footage from matches and practice to breakdown and analyze key points and discuss everything including shot selection, court positioning, and technique.

Since including the QM-1 into his training regimen, Spencer jumped more than twenty ranking spots in the boys’ 10-under open division in southern California moving him well into the top 100 of what is arguably one of the top two tennis regions in the world (the other being Florida). The huge strides he has made are mostly thanks to a greater understanding of the game, and now instead of blindly and randomly hitting the ball, it’s clear that he is increasingly trying to construct points. He is quickly evolving from a blunt instrument into a surgeon’s scalpel.

My son A_____ is a strong junior 12 year old player and we’ve just started using the set-up for taping his matches.  The idea being that seeing what he did as far as technique, footwork, shot selection, etc. vs just telling him after the fact will be a much better learning experience.   Also, I like the idea of having match stats on him but it’s difficult to chart during a match.  I’m now able to compile the stats after the fact and obviously having accurate match statistics will prove valuable over time.  The QM-1 is easy to use and seems very well made.

Every coach should carry a QM-1 and a camera in their tennis bag.

I just got back a few days ago from doing match analytics at the SA [South African] Junior Nationals – we had 8 of the courts set up with QM-1’s 🙂

[note: Warren now sets up as many as 50 at a time!!]

I’ve been using the QM-1 for a couple of years for my on-court video instructional format … “What’s The Right Shot?”.  I absolutely love this camera mount!  Fits easily in my tennis bag, is sturdy, and has become an important part of my online tennis instructional business.
If you’re not using video to analyze your game, then you’re not dealing with reality!

Just wanted to let you know I am very happy with your product.  The clamp is perfect.  It has just the right amount of “spring” tension to hold it on the top of the fence.  This is so easy to use that I didn’t bother reading the instructions.  The first day of use…I had a coach and 2 players ask me what it was!

Every thing is good. … it works great.

This mount is so functional it puts to shame any others.  It was designed by someone who thought it through.  I paid over $200 for another mount that is a pain to use.  With the QM-1 I just mark the mount [where to angle the bracket] and the kids can’t screw it up.   We bought two last spring and that’s why we just ordered three more.  We do a ton of video work with our tennis teams and these mounts are easy to work with and even harder to mess up with.

If you are not using video analysis on a regular basis as a player and/or as a coach then you are missing out on a whole new world that will for sure take your game and/or coaching to a completely new level. With the QM-1, it’s extremely easy, we can set it up and pull it down in a matter of seconds.

The students really like the QM-1 a lot more than [the competing product] because it holds the camera a lot better and you can save the settings, also the price is a big plus too.

I have used it for lessons…. It gives me a great angle and view of the court.

Very fast shipping! Simple and easy! Thanks!

I want to commend you on the craftsmanship of the pole camera holder you sent me. I worked for 5 years as a machinist and can appreciate your design and effort producing this product.

The University of Tennessee uses your devices to great effect as they continue to produce champions. This one I have just purchased will be used on the professional tour with a former UT player. Thanks for your innovation.

Hi Mike, Rafael [note:  no not Nadal!]  loved your product and wants to buy two more.  He’s taking them to Spain to leave with a coach who will be shooting matches for use with our Match Analysis Service.

Wow. Great product. Video was outstanding. Used it for first time and was excellent! Can’t say I’d change anything and the little tick marks are just perfect. The tips worked great and 720/30 is spot on. Was able to get 4 DBLS matches with the cards supplied and external battery. So simple and the people that asked, I should have told them send in my name so I can start collecting royalties.

I was aware of your competition, and have been for several years…in fact, I should have made this purchase a few years back when my kids were younger. I became aware of the QM-1 through references on the Tennis Warehouse forums and then doing follow-up on the web. Glad I found you. I like your product and your price better.

My son has played #1 for a very good NAIA college team the past two years, and will be a junior this year. Between a very good freshman coming in this next season, ITA summer circuit, and his desire to win ITAs in the Fall he’s trying to up his game and conditioning this summer. I just purchased a good, used Silent Partner ball machine, and the intent is that he will use the ball machine and the QM-1/camera every day for a few hours to both practice and analyze his strokes. I’m also encouraging him to video his practice matches this summer, as obviously that will provide feedback on his shot selection and court positioning.

I plan on using it for myself as well. I’m a 4.0, 51, played HS and some college, and participate in annual USTA League play. I’m out about once a week in the winter (mainly doubs, and can be 3.5 hours at a time), and in the summer I hit with my son several nights a week, with some singles and doubs on the weekends. Over the years the paid lessons have all gone towards my kids, so the QM-1 will be my way of hopefully improving my own game a bit! I’ve just expanded my personal stringing into a small business for our tennis community, so there may be some good opportunities for me to promote your product…especially as people see me with it.

Wow, that is really cool!

The camera mount was shipped expeditiously. It got delivered in two days. Excellent. I already used the mount twice this past weekend, and it did not disappoint. The set up was super easy. Once I set up the camera, it was leveled throughout the recording. Very happy with this product.

Awesome works well you will receive a few orders going forward for sure. Tested and showed some of my tournament kid parents they will be in touch with you I know of two so far with more to follow….

Awesome camera pole mount. Been using it with my GoPro.

I received the QM-1 last Thursday. USPS was awesome. I have been using it at the Nat. Clays…it works fantastic. Have had several people ask me where they can get one and I have been sending more business your way. Thanks.

Thanks Mike! QM-1 turns out to work really great. I got high quality match videos by using QM-1 and My Creative Vado HD. It’s less than $150 total investment!  By the way, I tried both Gorillapod SLR (GP3) and Gorillapod (GP1). Neither of them work well on Tennis Court. GP3’s leg is just too thick to fix onto the tennis Fence. GP1 is just too light and unstable when it’s fixed to a fence. There is too much Vibration when using GP1.

I’m a very satisfied customer. I’m really enjoying this. I’ve videoed a doubles match and also a lesson and it’s very informative to watch yourself play as you know. So thank you very much for helping me…
