The first question people ask about using the QM-1 is “how can you tell what the camera is recording?”. I address this in the Frequently Asked Questions but will go into more detail here. First off, tennis courts are constructed according to certain guidelines. The courts themselves have to be exact, of course, but even the area around the court is controlled by guidelines. For example, 99% of tennis courts have a distance between baseline and back fence of either 18′ or 21′. And most courts have a 10′ high back fence, rarely but sometimes a 12′ fence.
Setting Angle
By knowing the basic geometry of the court, we are able to permanently inscribe a mark on the base, which when lined up with the mark on the camera bracket, gives the perfect angle for filming the whole tennis court. It really is that simple.
But what do you do when the tennis court or fence maybe isn’t looking like a “standard” court? Well, that may require you to record or film for about two seconds, review the shot, and make any slight adjustment necessary. The whole process takes literally seconds after you’ve done it once.
I hope this clears this up, but please don’t hesitate to use the Contact Form should you have any questions!
