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.
The simplest and most reliable option is using a tripod. Think of it as your personal cameraman—steady, quiet, and always ready.
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.
Got a running friend? Ask them to film you! It’s a great way to team up while keeping things simple.
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.
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.
No matter which method you choose, here’s a quick checklist to ensure your video is Ochy-ready:
With these simple tips, there’s no excuse not to capture a great running video. Whether you use a tripod, a buddy, or a family member, the key is to keep it steady, clear, and focused on you.
