swing and GolfXion also provide immediate video

review. So lets see why stands are necessary and

where you get them. If you are looking for stands for

your iPad and iPad mini please click on this link.

Why do I need a stand for my iPhone?

When you practicing your ball striking skills both of

your hands are holding the golf club. So there is no

way you can be holding on to your iPhone and at

same time as you are making a golf swing. We know

that the iPhone is compact and light but there is no

way you can hold the iPhone in one hand and make a

good repeatable golf swing with another hand. The

primary aim of GolfXion is to provide instant feedback

on head movement during a golf swing and you don’t

want to false feedback due to the movement of your

iPhone shifting location and/or position. In addition,

you want to make sure that your iPhone is securely

mounted and there is no risk of damaging your iPhone

while you are practicing to be a better ball striker. Last

but not least is that GolfXion require a constant frame

of reference in order to detect the “head still” and

“head movement” condition.

The stand for my iPhone 5/S

For peace of mind, it is recommended that you get a

stand which is capable of holding your iPhone 5/S

securely. Essentially, it is a tripod and a iPhone holder

that allows it to be securely mounted on the tripod.

But you don’t want your tripod to take up too much

space. So the ones I choose is more like a light stand

that you find in photographer’s studio. It must be

stable and sufficiently stiff.

Where Can I get my stand?

The stand and holder the author used when

developing the GolfXion app consist of 2 items and

the links to Amazon.

iPhone 5 Holder: Steadicam Smoothee Camera

Mount for Apple iPhone 5.

Stand: Grifiti Nootle stand with mini ball head.

Just for completeness, if you intend to use an iPad

and iPad mini, here are the links to Amazon. Unlike

iPhone 5, Grifiti Nootle has models complete with

iPad/iPad mini case and stand.

iPad: Grifiti Nootle iPad tripod stand;

iPad Air: Grifiti Nootle iPad Air tripod stand ;

iPad mini: Grifiti Nootle iPad mini tripod stand

How does my iPhone 5/S attach to thestand?

We will go through a step-by-step process of how we

attach the iPhone 5 to the holder and then mount it on

the stand. This setup can be used for improving the

photos that you take on your iPad and iPhone, but let

not forget that we are adapting an easily available tool

so as to help you to be a better ball striker. We all love

golf and we want to have a better scores which means

that we need to improve the consistency of the

contact with the golf ball.

Step 1, Attaching the iPhone 5/S case

The iPhone 5/S holder is specially constructed for

mounting the holder onto the tripod.

So step one is just to insert the iPhone 5/S into the

front of the holder. Please make sure that it fits snugly

and securely. You must make sure at all times that it

would not drop out.

The bottom of the holder is specifically constructed

for attaching to the tripod. So next we will explore

how we attach it to the stand.

Step 2, Attaching iPhone 5/S Holder to theStand

Attach the mounting hole to the mounting screw at the

top of the stand. Please make sure that your iPhone

5/S holder is attached securely on the stand. You

must not see any screw threads between the case

and the stand. If you iPhone 5/S holder is not securely

fitted then you will risk breaking your favorite iPhone

5/S.

So you are almost done. I cannot emphasize enough

how important it is to double check if your iPhone 5/S

is securely mounted on the stand to prevent it from

dropping.

Step 3, Spreading the Tripod Legs

The last step is really simple. First find a safe location

to position to the stand that is now holding your

precious iPhone 5/S. Next, spread the tripod legs on

the stand to make sure that they are fully extended as

we require maximum stability to prevent your iPhone

5/S mini from crashing into the ground.

Last Step, Adjust the iPhone 5/S

After checking that your location is safe and the

iPhone 5/S is securely attached, the last step is to

adjust the iPhone 5/S so that it becomes visible. Now

you are ready to start using GolfXion to provide you

with instant feedback on head movements during a

golf swing. You can use configure different head

movement profiles to fit different clubs. Most

important club that have zero tolerance for movement

is the putter or what most call the “flat stick”. Most

important of all, the stand provides a constant

reference frame so that when GolfXion sounds an

alert, it is a movement of your head and not that of

your iPhone 5/S.

Safety is Very IMPORTANT

Please make sure that there is sufficient space

between you and the stand that is holding your iPhone

5/S. The required space must be sufficient for your to

make a complete golf swing with your longest golf

club which usually is your driver. You do not want to

risk crashing your golf club into the your stand and

damaging your golf club and your iPhone 5/S.

Remember not to rush your pace as scrap and hitting

is not a good habit to practice during the driving range

session.

Handsfree Operation with GolfXion


10 of 13 27/3/14 5:40 pm

GolfXion detects that you are about to start your golf

swing when your head remains sufficiently still, which

automatically starts the head movement detection

mode. After this GolfXion will play an audio alert when

your head moves. GolfXion will make a video

recording of the entire session between the auto-start

and the head movement, and this video will be

automatically played.

Continuous Looping

GolfXion will then automatically

go back to detecting the start

of your golf swing. GolfXion will

continue to repeat this entire

cycle until you exit the

detection mode. GolfXion

operates totally handsfree once

you start it in the detection mode. GolfXion gives you

instant feedback on head movement in order to

improve the effectiveness of your ball striking. This is

how GolfXion claims that you can practice with instant

feedback and this can help you to be a better ball

striker.
