Hello,

I put up 2 short videos (large in size because of the quality) of the home table.

If you get a second, could you please watch the masse video first, and then the second video (less than 2 mins) and give me your opinion on

Please watch this first.

Camera Angle
Quality of picture
Ball color
Anything else that comes to mind.

I'm an awful bar table player, so any "you suck" comments are already known, but heck I'll still read them.

Thanks everyone.
 
Nice setup you've go going there! Everything's clear and easy to see.
Maybe one thing is with the first camera angle, if you can get the camera a little higher, you might get a better view of the table.
 
I would move the camera over to the left or right looking at the table at an angle and also up a little bit.
 
I would move the camera up as high as you can get it in the same location you have it. That gives a perfect view of the angles. I would also turn off the auto focus. When you walk in front of the camera it changes focus and then changes back when you move out of frame. Manually focus and leave it at that. Other wise good quality video.
 
I've played around a lot with camera angle, height, etc. at our community center table and come to the conclusion that straight down the middle as high as you can get the camera, works best.

You're almost straight down the middle, but it's a big improvement when you get it exact. You just need to move the camera a little to the right and rotate it a little left. Setting a ball on the headspot and footspot helps in lining up the camera.



I'd also widen the lense a bit to capture more of the space around the table so you can see the player's stroke, etc.

What bdorman said. Plus, do you realize that your whole body moves on each shot?
 
Video quality looks outstanding, very crisp and clear. As mentioned, height and angle could use adjustments. That Valley looks like it plays beautifully.
 
THANKS EVERYONE, really, thanks so much.

I can move the camera over maybe 4", but there is a wall (not sure if you can see it in the first video or not) to the left, and I'm up against that.

I normally just leave it up for friends and people who come over to play, but I got the bug, and I'm paying for it today. Back is 9/10 for sure.
 
Don't think I didn't contact someone and ask "hey, can we knock a foot off this wall" their answer was "if you don't like having a roof on this side of the house"

You could always knock a whole in the wall and have a recessed camera.

Watch the video of you shooting, as your stroke comes forward, your whole upper body shifts with it. You start to rise a little, then your whole upper shifts with the rise.

Which one is he in the video, Neil? The older guy in the video does do this on almost every shot.
