-
Position it at a height of 5.25 feet (1.6 meters or above).

Ensure it’s stable, not handheld.
-
Record the video in landscape mode only.
💡 Tip: Use a tripod or mount it to a fence post or pole.
-
Make sure the entire court is visible in the frame (from baseline to baseline) and make sure that the netline and the baseline on the other side are not in the same height.
-
Include all players and the net clearly.

Avoid zooming—use a wide angle if possible.
