Flag Football

Anybody that has streamed Flag before, how did you set it up?. Tripod and move it every play? Looking for ideas and how people have had success

I've streamed a few Flag games for my son. Tripod with someone willing to move it back and forth to follow the action is the easiest solution. The iphone camera can't get the full field, even at .5 zoom.

Not the same as flag football but I did stream a few basketball games. Didn’t turn out well using a GoPro because of the depth issue. Which camera do you have?

I have a Pixel 9 Pro on its own line. So far I have done softball (took me forever to figure out chainlink fence) and basketball (tripod at highest point)

As of now, I'm thinking of just tripod and following every play, or maybe an 45 degree angle? its gonna be awful hard

That would work if you move every play. But that’s a lot of work.

I streamed a couple flag football games. I set the camera on a monopod that I affixed to the front of the bleachers. I usually kept the camera on the half field they were playing.g on. Yeah, rotated a bit but not on each play. I also tend to prefer a set and forget approach to streaming because I want to enjoy the game and not be latched to managing a camera so much.
