At Ochy, we’re here to help you analyze and improve your running technique, but it all starts with capturing the perfect video. Not sure how? Don’t worry: we’ve got three easy ways to get it done, no matter your setup.
Option 1: The Tripod Pro
The simplest and most reliable option is using a tripod. Think of it as your personal cameraman: steady, quiet, and always ready.
- Set up your tripod in a stable position.
- Adjust the phone so it captures you from the side, showing your entire body from head to toe.
- Start running while the camera stays perfectly still!
No tripod? No problem! You can improvise using props like a water bottle, a bench, or even a wall to hold your phone steady. Just make sure your setup is stable and your body is fully in the frame.
Option 2: The Runner Buddy
Got a running friend? Ask them to film you! It’s a great way to team up while keeping things simple.
- Position your friend so they can film you from the side.
- Remind them to keep the camera steady and not follow you as you run.
- Congratulate him for his precious help!
No runner buddy available? Ask a friendly stranger! Most people are happy to lend a hand, and you might even make a new running friend in the process.
Option 3: The Family MVP
Sometimes, the best help comes from home. Whether it’s your partner, your child, or even a particularly cooperative pet, you can rely on your family to get the job done.
- Hand them your phone and show them how to frame the shot (side view, full body).
- Let them have fun being your “camera crew”!
- Laugh about it later, especially if your dog tries to take the credit.
Filming Checklist for the Perfect Video
No matter which method you choose, here’s a quick checklist to ensure your video is Ochy-ready:
- Camera stability: Make sure the phone stays still: no shaky footage!
- Side view: You should be visible from head to toe, with your full body in the frame.
- One person only: Avoid extra distractions. This video is all about you!
