Hi all,
I am shopping for a camera for the express purpose of golf swing recording, so I hope it is okay if I place it in this forum. I thought my next phone would have a camera that could get the 200+ fps at 720p, but the one I was looking at doesn't go on my carrier, which is too bad (it had the camera features I want and is within what I am okay spending on a phone) and the price difference for a lot of phones that do and have the camera I want looks to be quite big, when the only difference (among those I'd care about) is the camera.
So, onto a new separate camera. My previous one, bought almost a decade ago, does I think 30 fps. I am thinking I can get a separate camera, accessories if needed, and then I only worry about my phone as a communications device (which, other than filming my golf swing, is most if not all I use it for, leading me to the situation where a high end phone has the cameras I'd want, but every feature save the camera is in the "low end" phones).
I know pretty much nothing about cameras, other than I want one that will be good for filming my swing. I don't plan to do much else with the camera. I take my old one with me in summer golf to take pictures since my phone doesn't like being left outside in summer golf when I'm in Rancho Mirage.
Can someone who knows more about cameras chime in? I was looking through WalMart cameras and found the AKASO Brave 4 for under $100 (I have no idea if that's a lot or a little to spend on a camera that does what I'm looking for). The description says it has "resolution of 4K/60fps, 4K/30fps, 2.7K/30fps, 1080P/120fps, 720P/240fps, etc. " (I have no idea what goes into an "etc" for this).
Or maybe I just get the camera on my phone (Pixel 3XL) repaired and use that, even after I stop using it as a communications device. The lens is cracked, so it gets dirty very easily, and it tops out at 120 fps when it's working anyway (and with my being regularly under the 10-handicap marker for strokes gained: long game, I figure the difference in fps may be relevant).
That's amazing. So much good stuff left on the cutting room floor!
I hope they continue to do videos like this. It made watching the NCCA D1 championship today a lot more interesting. Rose Zhang winning and the team celebrating with her was so awesome
Watched it with the wife and daughter on Saturday. Good stuff.
They were around for and filmed a lot of stuff that didn't quite make it into the video that I wish had. Athlete dining, dorm room stuff, classes… etc. It focused almost entirely on the golf and Rachel's ROTC stuff. They also study a bunch, I'm sure. Brooke (I think) won the Elite 90 award with a 4.0, but that wasn't mentioned at all. And she's not in an "easy" major or anything, either.
