It is a common question – “how to film a tennis match”. Any tennis match is easy to film and record with the QM-1 Camera Mount since it mounts from either inside OR outside the court. As a parent or a coach, you never have to walk on the court! AND, the QM-1 is so discreet that many players never even know it’s there. The photo below shows a college match where Denver University has put up six cameras (four of which are visible), all from outside the court. Denver’s Mens’ and Womens’ teams both use video extensively, and the Denver women have risen to the top 50 in the nation since starting video (ok, they also recruited some talented players). Additionally, Maureen Slattery and Julia O’Laughlin made All-American as doubles players.
The fact that you can mount the QM-1 on the fence from outside the court makes it perfect for parents and coaches of junior and college tennis players. Remember when filming juniors – make sure you have permission from the parents of the opposing player! Most will be okay with it if you ask first.
We have found that in the case of college matches where there is a singles and a doubles “point”, it’s easiest to attach an external battery to your camera. Even a small “lipstick” battery will alow the Muvi K-2 to run for at least five hours. Our Rav battery will last over 12 hours easy. Mount the camera once and forget about it until the matches are over.
