USER GUIDE AND TIPS

1. Unfold the Golfpod

To unfold the Golfpod, first flip the red buckle.
Separate the Golfpod legs using your fingers.
Slide the legs down the Golfpod base.
Flip back the red buckle to secure.

2. Extend/Retract the column

Grip the mounting platform and turn it counterclockwise to unlock.
Slide up or down to extend or retract the column.
Turn the mounting platform clockwise to lock.
The Golfpod has four expandable segments.

3. Attach the phone/tablet holder

To attach the phone holder to the Golfpod head, you can use either the side screw or the one on the back of the holder. Use the wheel on the head to secure it in position.
To easily place your phone on the holder, use your phone to push the extendable part of the holder while your hand is holding the fix part of it (see picture). Use the same process to remove your phone from the holder.

4. Use the Bluetooth Remote (BR)

Remove the plastic protection on the right side of the BR.
Press and hold the Power button for about 3 seconds to switch on the BR release. The LED indicator light will begin to flash.
This means the BR release is searching for a Bluetooth connection.
Open the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone and wait until "Remote Shutter" appears in the list of Bluetooth devices found.
Select "Remote Shutter" and wait until the BR release is listed as connected in the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone.
You can now use your BR release with the camera of your phone.
The BR control will go to sleep after 5 minutes of non-use.

LEARN to Film Your Swing CORRECTLY & CONSISTENTLY with YOUR golfpod:

There are two key elements essential for ensuring accurate analysis of your swing and tracking your progress over time: setting up your Golfpod at the correct height and capturing the correct angles.

Let's explore these two key elements:

1) Setting up your Golfpod height

Grab the Golfpod marker, the Golfpod, and an alignment stick.
Set up your Golfpod and mount your phone, ensuring the phone is centered on the holder.
Stand in your swing stance as close as possible to the Golfpod.
Use the alignment stick to draw a parallel line from the top of your hand to the camera lens.
Adjust the Golfpod's height by fully extending the first segment and partially extending the second segment until the camera lens aligns with the top of your hand in the swing position.
Once you have the correct height, mark this segment with the Golfpod marker for future reference.
Your Golfpod is now set up at the correct height, ready for consistent swing filming!

2) Capturing the correct angles

The next step is to capture the correct angles for effective swing analysis. There are two main angles to focus on:

Down-the-line (DTL)
Face-On

To position your Golfpod effectively for capturing these angles, follow these instructions:

Place an alignment stick on the ground, parallel to your target line, directly under your hands.
Position the Golfpod 10-12 feet away from you. This distance ensures your entire swing is captured in the frame. For consistency, use a reference point to maintain the same distance each time.
For the DTL angle, align the Golfpod with your hand path (along the alignment stick) and point it towards this path.
For the Face-On angle, position the Golfpod perpendicular to your hand path (across the alignment stick) and point it towards this path.
In both setups, ensure your hands are centered in the frame, both left-to-right and top-to-bottom.

Video is always the best way to understand, so take a look at this video from our partners Milo Lines and Henry Fall which explain how to record your swing with your Golfpod!
