Every attempt.
A clearer picture.

An Option project

More time coaching.
Less time sorting footage.

Training moves quickly. The recorder brings athlete selection, video review and feedback into one workflow, so a useful moment does not get lost in a camera roll.

The essentials

From recording
to useful feedback.

A focused set of tools for the moments that matter before, during and after training.

01

Record the athlete, not just the session.

Select an athlete before recording and keep their name attached to every video. Load a training group into the recorder, with up to ten active athletes and recording settings that adapt to your device.

02

Look closer at the movement.

Slow playback down, step through individual frames, and zoom into the details. Draw over the video, measure angles, and calibrate distances to make your feedback more specific.

03

Compare two attempts.

Set synchronization points and play two videos side by side. Step through each recording and annotate the comparison to see what changed between attempts.

04

Keep feedback with the footage.

Organize recordings by athlete, star key moments, and add coaching notes. Athletes with an account have their own view of the videos assigned to them, without coach-only editing controls.

05

Keep working away from Wi-Fi.

Record and review locally, including without an account. With an account, cloud synchronization keeps videos and feedback available across sessions and retries pending work when connectivity returns.

A second perspective

More context.
Your coaching judgment.

AI-assisted coaching reports

Generate a report from sampled video frames, with strengths, improvement areas, supporting observations and suggested drills. Saved reports stay with the video and can be shared with authorized participants.

AI suggestions support review; they do not replace a coach's judgment.

A closer look at pole vault

On-device pose analysis estimates vault phases, approach speed and peak centre-of-mass height. Detection-quality reporting helps put those estimates in context, with optional distance calibration for metric measurements.

Results depend on the footage, camera setup and calibration.

Beyond the phone

Review together.
See the wider picture.

The dedicated Option TV Playback app brings videos to a compatible Apple TV, with remote playback, frame stepping and drawing controls.

For sessions with heart-rate data, assigned Garmin sensors or imported telemetry can keep that context synchronized with video playback.
