    Help for camera and set up

    Folks!
    First post, I hope you can help me. I am moving to a bigger house and of course the first thought is... I will finally have room for a simulator! Or sort of.
    The setup I am looking for is mostly for swing recording/analysis. I don't need a full sim, but at least a skytrack to know where the ball went.
    Right now my "setup" is going to the range with a stand and an Iphone, record several swings at 240fps 720p, stop the recording and looking at them, repeat.
    The idea would be to recreate it indoor; the perfection would be something like this:
    I just finished up adding 2 high speed cameras to my garage golf sim (here's my original sim build (https://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum/golf-simulator-forum/simulator-builds/329392-new-garage-build-complete-w-pics)). One cam is capturing side view and the other is capturing overhead. The swing captures trigger on the sound of

    But I am ok with something less complex. I don't need for instance to start the recording when the mic catches the shot, etc.
    The main goal is to avoid a blurred clubhead at impact, and I know it depends on the camera and lighting.
    That thread is 2 years old, what would be now the ideal camera, considering I don't need nothing fancier than 240fps, 720p?

    thank you

    To get rid of club blur you need a camera with a high shutter speed, not necessarily higher fps.

    It’s going to be a fancy set up cuz high speed cameras ( high fps and shutter speeds) are expensive

      I have a camera that I use along with Kinovea to do swing analysis. This is the camera I have:

      Webcamera_usb Webcam Full HD 1080P USB Camera,2MP Manual Focus USB Camera with Cmos OV2710 Image Sensor,High Fps 480p@100fps USB Webcam,High Speed USB

      Kinovea is free and allows for slow motion analysis and the camera I have can do up to 240 FPS which is more than enough for just about everything other than mid-swing club position. The computer I use to run both the simulator and Kinovea is a NUK format - which means its 6" square and had a Ryzen 5 CPU with a dedicated GPU. Having a brightlhy lit room is essential for high quality, slow motion video so dont expect to get a good projector image while taking slow-mo video, unless you have an overhead or face on spotlignt. If you're interested, I can post some of my lates swing video. If you look at my other posts, you will see a video of my daughter's swing in slow-mo from the camera described above.
