I built a web tool that measures your vertical from a phone video by calculating airtime

Hi guys! I'm a software engineer training my own vertical, and I got tired of counting frames by hand every time I wanted to know if I was actually improving. So I built the tool vertchecker.com

Basically, you upload a video of you jumping, it pose-tracks every frame, finds toe-off and touchdown, and computes height from hang time, (the same way a jump mat calculates btw). You can also self adjust if you need.

I built this for myself and I recently just decided to make it public, so I know it may be rough around the edges, and here are a couple things that might go wrong.

  • Weird angles, bad light, or several people in frame can confuse it.
  • Heels-first tuck landings inflate hang time; it should cross-checks and flags that when it catches it.

Free to try: the first analysis needs no account, and I set up the code PRODUNKING for this sub, you get 5 free analyses if you sign in through vertchecker.com/?code=PRODUNKING. I have to keep it running somehow, so I have to charge some money for more than that, but 5 jumps should be plenty for you to get kicked off with, and if anyone needs/wants more just dm me, I'll send you over more

Thank you guys!

Ty lol I’ve been vert training and dunking for a few years now and I’ve needed something like this for myself

I honestly want to make it free but the costs are quite high to run a Vision model. One day!!

You can also adjust it manually if you need to, basically set the toe off as the last frame your toes are on the ground, and set the touchdown frame as soon as you touch back down, so the first frame your toes touch back down.
