Hi Everyone,

 

Does anyone know if there are any other apps that do what Mirror Vision does?  Mirror Vision is good, but the only gripe I have is that it doesn't take advantage of the multiple lenses on my iPhone for wider angle shots (unless I'm missing something.

I'll keep looking but perhaps someone knows of something else.

 

Thanks!

Do you film in landscape? MirrorVision is set up in portrait, but I film in landscape and then just rotate the video in Photos when I edit it. I usually trim it in MirrorVision first, then in Photos I use the sliders to have the slow motion on the swing only. Then rotate and save. I also can do this in iMovie. But iMovie does have an upload direct to YouTube anymore.

Camera Plus has a similar feature but I serious doubt it's any better than MV. You could attach a wide angle lens, but probably not what you wanted to hear.

You probably have a better chance of getting MirrorVision to add the support for the wide angle lens than to get another app that supports the wide angle lens AND does everything else that Mirror Vision does.

CoachNow also doesn't seem to support the different lenses. It's kinda annoying.

Whether in landscape or in portrait mode, I’m not able to zoom out for a wider shot. I’d like to film head on and the stalls at the driving range are a bit narrow for a regular lens.

Absolutely annoying. It’s great that these guys created this app in the first place with golfers in mind I’m guessing, but If they’re gonna do it, go all the way.

Stalls are tough for filming. The lightning is bad and there’s not a lot of room. LiveView Pro supposedly can film in tighter spaces, but the video quality is not as good.

Stalls man... Down the line is fine.  Plenty of room for that, but head on is the problem.  I'm going to take iacas' suggestion and reach out to the developer.  I'm sure I won't be the first one reaching out to them on this.

It works well as a digital mirror for rehearsals, and okay for slower speed stuff/partial swings, but for full swings, I find that the frame rate just isn't high enough compared to slow motion mode on a cell phone.

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
