The Advantage of an Elevated View

Every coach knows that formations are a crucial aspect of football. Formations are the starting points from which offensive and defensive players learn their roles and ideally outsmart their opponents. An offense’s formation is meant to keep the defense guessing and expose their weaknesses. A defensive formation’s goal is to stay one step ahead of the offense, calling their bluff. Positioning is important for both sides to keep in mind when hoping to achieve the best possible outcome. When routes are run and tackles are made successfully on the football field, it’s in large part due to the superiority of the team’s starting formation.

All of this adds up to illustrate the importance of studying game film. And the game should be recorded for optimal play viewing. The bird’s eye view provided by an endzone camera system gives the best vantage point for coaches to judge the effectiveness of plays. The 20-30 foot elevated angle from a telescoping pole makes it much easier to see every detail of a formation, which helps coaches give accurate directions and corrections to their players. If you want to strategize smarter and refine your gameplay, it’s time to invest in an endzone camera system.

When filming a game, it is preferable to have as many angles as possible to see the plays unfold from each perspective. Endzone camera systems with two-view capability offer the greatest competitive advantage since they capture every movement from all areas of the field. A coach standing on the sideline can only see how the players are moving immediately after the snap to a very limited degree. And for the players themselves, without a camera they can't critique their own movement at all. An endzone and sideline view captured on video is the mirror that coaches and players can use to analyze tackling technique, reaction time, pivots, and more in order to understand what's working and what needs improvement.

The benefits of owning an endzone camera system are clear. You can see every play in action from an elevated view, which advances the quality of your instant replay and allows you to coach your team to success. By learning your effective plays and formations from every angle, you will rise above other teams who aren’t using an aerial view to film the game.
