I’m interested in videotaping my jumpers for my analysis, and to show them their jumps. Any ideas you can provide as to equipment (the more economical the better!) would be helpful. I would like a setup that would allow me to present the jumps in slow motion, and possibly in freeze frame. thanks.:cool:

Digital video cameras are relatively cheap right now and allow the best opportunity for quick analysis. I’d get one camera and some video editing / movie software. Often this software is already on a computer or comes with the digital camera.

I’ve got a pretty nice Cannon ZR240… i think it goes for about $500

can do slowmo, frame by frame, etc… right on the track.

This is my third year of doing High School track and over the winter me and a couple friends decided to bring digital cameras to the meet to tape some of the girls and the events (mainly the girls). The camera became very useful when it came to looking at form and little problems that could be fixed very easily if it is viewed by the person. When a coach tells you what to do it doesnt help much because you dont see whats going wrong, the video tape helps solve this problem because the athlete can now see the problem and correct it alot easier. One key bit of advice, dont allow your athletes to use the camera durring coed meets.
