Common Questions

What devices are supported?
Available on iOS and Android. iPhone 13 Pro and later supports high-speed 120 FPS. A one-time camera calibration is required on Android on first use.
Do I need a tripod?
No — any stable surface works. A board ledge, equipment bag, or propped up with a water bottle is fine. The more stable, the better the background model.
How accurate is the speed reading?
Under good conditions (proper calibration, high-speed (120+ FPS), good lighting), accuracy is typically within 2 mph.
