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.

    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
