I've been doing some swing analysis with various software such as v1pro. That leaves the question as to how to setup a camera to record yourself. There are some mounting solutions on the internet that are pretty expensive. I did find a solution with just a spider tripod (~$5) that works great!

You can even carry around the bag and the mount doesn't come off. The only issue is that you need a taylormade bag or other bag with a top handle. It's just a matter of twisting the legs around the handle the correct way. Here's some pictures of my mount:

Nice find!

Since I don't have a top handle, I'm using this clipping stand for my cam:

works great, and with about EUR 14,- not expensive...

Also check out the gorilla pod by Jobi. They are small flexible tripods that can fit on anything. B&H; Photo/Video is a great photography site. Also, Amazon sells them. $15-30 depending on model. Some are small and some are larger to support dslr's and such.

Just use a tripod it costs $10. More adjustable and stable.

That was a tripod...

I have a $100 tripod (my DSLRs use a $600 tripod with a $700 ball head and clamp on it) and a $25 Joby GorillaPod for my smaller camera.

Agreed... Using a full size tripod would be much easier. It gives you so many more option. With that setup on your bag, it seems like the camera would be a little low.

Obviously some are really expensive (like the one iacas has apparently), but a cheap one would do just fine in this situation.

Yeah, the $1400 tripod I have supports $5000+ in DSLR lenses and camera(s). :)

For teaching, I use a $100 tripod to support a $300 camera. For playing golf, I have a $200 camera and a $25 GorillaPod.

If I take my driver out of the driver slot in my bag, my Kodak ZX-1 wedges perfectly into the slot. This is not ideal (should shoot from waist high), thus all my video recordings are shot too low.

I just assumed you were 9 feet tall.

I like the idea of something light enough that you'll actually take it on the course. Imagine a super slo mo video of knocking down the flagstick on a signature hole - here's what I did on my vacation . . .

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
