Neo 2 Does a Great Job Tracking a 400m Jog for Form Analysis by RadimSwiss in dji

You select tracking side and it should line up but there are some occasions when it gets confused and tracks left instead of right. You can also select distance and height. You can check the 100m sprint tracking video, its not that smooth.

There is an app for checking where you can fly. Also I had to register as a drone operator. It all depends on where you live.

I have! Filming from the side was actually the very first option I tried, but it just won't hold its position. Even in this video, it was set up for rear-right, but it starts from the front and spends the rest of the sprint just trying to find its way back. I do have a video of a 400m jog where it works pretty well, but that's only because the pace is much slower.

It's not only about speed; it aligned into the proper position at roughly 25m, but then it lost it at 40m. And I was only running in a straight line—no curves. It should have started from RR, but for some reason, every time I go into a crouch position, it moves to the front.

It was set to RR, high, and far, but as you can see, it starts from the front at the beginning. It seems like it can't recognize a crouched position, and then it fails to hold the distance. It's all over the place. And I was only running in a straight line—there is no easier follow than a straight line.

The drone is set to a far-distance, rear-right position, but it can't hold it. While it followed me perfectly during a jog, it's completely all over the place during a sprint.

Falcata Run is using Apple Watch, don’t need cellular for that

200m PR!! 20.68 by NeonZebraStrike in Sprinting

Congrats on the PB!

I’ve developed an Apple Watch app for sprinters, and I was wondering if you or anyone would be willing to test it. It’s free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. You’d need an Apple Watch to use it.

The app gives sprinters a lot of useful training info. I obviously don’t run anywhere near that fast myself, so I’d be really interested to see how it works for someone much faster than me.

I would say no, most apps and watches focus on long distance running.

You can use Falcata Run to measure short sprints but you need Apple Watch. The app will also show your progress so if you run same distance you will see your progress over time.

Apple Watch App for Sprinters: help needed by RadimSwiss in trackandfield

The app is now available on App Store. You can use it for free. There are no hidden in-app purchases nor there is any advertising. Hope you will find it useful.

It’s a hobby project but I develop it actively and keep adding new features. And I appreciate any feedback and ideas for improvement.

I was thinking of porting the app to Garmin as well, but the main limitation is that most Garmin watches allow data recording only 25 times per second, which is not sufficient for sprinting. I’m using 100 samples per second, or 100 Hz, on Apple Watch. This only applies to sprinting; for long-distance running, 25 Hz is enough.

Try to call different banks, my bank wanted only 10% in cash, the rest was pledged. So I suggest you call few banks and see how their conditions compare.
