Here are a few tips that will make setting up VISION much easier, and help you get more out of your VISION analysis.
A few quick tips:
- No tripod necessary (VISION is designed to be used with you holding your iPhone)
- Use your camera app on your iPhone (any camera works though)
- Record 2 videos standing in the same spot
More detailed tips:
- Record videos of around 15 seconds. For typical motocross speeds, that's usually long enough for your rider to stay near the camera for VISION to work well — if your rider stays near the camera longer, a longer video works fine too. Videos must be more than 1.5 seconds and less than 60 seconds.
- Record from a location where the rider will ideally always be in clear view (not frequently obstructed by other riders, trees, jump faces, etc.)
- Use optical zoom on your camera as much as possible for a clearer picture.
- Record at 4K and 60FPS for best results. Other resolutions and frame rates between 24 and 90FPS should also work well. Super slow-mo mode on your iPhone will not work.
- Recording in landscape mode typically works best, but portrait also works.
- If trading places with another videographer, give them clear instructions on where to stand (mark the spot with a rock or stick), make sure you both use the same landscape or portrait orientation, and AirDrop each other the videos.

- Record 2 videos of around 15 seconds in length using the Camera app on your iPhone
- Launch the LITPro app, go to "Add Session," tap "VISION," then select your two videos, choosing either "Landscape" or "Portrait."
- The LITPro app will guide you through the rest
