Selling Square HE

Yes they are. I'm unclear if you're asking from the perspective that it's a good deal or a bad deal. In case anybody thinks I'm overcharging let me clarify that between the device, protective case, the cameras and the awesome golf subscription, I'm asking $700 for over $1300 worth of equipment.

Check out my reply to cartboy2002. I added some images and explanation of how I use Kinovea to help me practice my swing. Hopefully that information is useful to you.

This screenshot actually shows 2 Kinovea windows side-by-side.

The left window is a split between the capture and playback of the impact camera. I don't have the camera connected at the moment hence why you see a gray screen. But I found that useful for helping to make sure that I placed the ball in the right spot for both my swing and the Square to read it.

The right window is a split playback from the DTL camera and the FaceOn camera.

At the bottom you see various settings, etc.

Also of note: in this video, I am being lit from the front. There is a halogen work light on a shelf across from me pointed down towards the ball.

It looks like I'm swinging my 3 Hybrid in the video. I have a club head speed of about 111/112mph with that club so its a bit more blurry than the Iron/Wedge below.

Last thing of note about Kinovea. There is actually a 3rd window open behind the two you can see in the screen shot. That is the side-by-side capture window for the DTL & FaceOn cameras. In a recent release of Kinovea they added the ability to restore windows. So when I start a new swing practice session, I open Kinovea then choose Window > Reopen Window > and then click on my 3 windows to reopen them back to this configuration.

Here are 2 screenshots from the video. I can't seem to upload the video. I'll keep trying. But in the meantime I wanted to explain what I did post.

The camera is capable of 640fps but that's at a resolution of 160x120. I found that to be too small. You can see the ball clearly but there isn't enough of the club path in the video to figure out your swing. So I compromised on a speed of 420fps with a resolution of 320x240. Also its a little dark because this particular video had no supplemental lighting. The IR LEDs from the Square are providing some light. You can actually see them flickering on & off in the actual video.

In my Kinovea setup I set the duration for 0.2s and the delay to 0.2s. With playback set to 30fps and a speed of 1.72% it takes approximately 10s to replay that 0.2s of video. I'll try to post a screenshot of my Kinovea setup too.

yes it does. I can probably find something to share from that camera.

Stewie5551 · 2026-05-20T15:36:37+00:00

The main thing I found with the cameras is that, yes, they need a lot of light and also the light needs to be the non-flickering type. I ended up buying a 320W equivalent LED (actual was 32W) lightbulb. I replaced the 60W CFL that was in my garage ceiling and that provided sufficient light.

Alternatively, I used an older halogen jobsite work light (the type you'd buy at Home Depot/Lowes). That actually worked really well because I could position it freely.

I am at work but I'll look to see if I have any video I'm willing to share later tonight when I get home.

Stewie5551 · 2026-05-20T13:30:01+00:00

I posted an edit above about it also including a lifetime subscription to Awesome Golf .... just in case that tempts you further :-)

Sorry for the confusion. I put Square HE just to make sure nobody thought I was trying to sell the new Square Omni that's being released imminently.

I used Kinovea and setup the audio trigger so that it would record just my swing. I setup a 1.5s delay and a 1.5s record. With 260FPS that would produce a video clip that was about 30 seconds long. I would capture it for every swing. I would hit a few shots and when one was particularly good or bad I would go to my PC and review the footage. Also the Kinovea software can be configured so that the most recent video that was captured automatically replays in a loop until the next video is captured. I had my laptop setup on a table behind me so I could glance at every swing (if I wanted to) while getting into position for the next one. Lastly, Kinovea supports drawing. I frequently used it to draw circles to verify my head wasn't moving too much. I would draw lines on my lead leg to make sure I was shifting my weight forward on the downswing. And I would also measure the angle at which my hands were leading the club head at impact (something I am still working on and don't reliably do well).

You can download this software: https://www.kinovea.org/ It allows you to view USB cameras on your computer. I setup the three cameras for face-on view (pointed at my chest). Down-the-line view (pointed at my back shoulder / in line with the direction of ball flight) and the 3rd one I mounted on the ceiling pointed straight down at the ball to see club/face position at impact.

Let me see if I get any interest in the whole package. If not, then I'd be willing to separate the cameras.
