A Football Camera App Built Around Phones

Pitchside starts with the camera players already have: one or two suitable phones mounted safely for small-sided football.

Pitchside uses one or two ordinary phones as the football camera. Mount one phone near halfway for the simplest setup, or use two phones facing opposite goals for better coverage. The app processes suitable footage after full-time for supported stats, highlights and player output. The separate double-phone mount remains in development.

Pitchside is currently in private beta. Subscriptions are not available to purchase yet, and supported output depends on suitable footage, camera position and the beta workflow.

Choose a setup that fits the pitch

Caged pitches, netted venues and open grass grounds require different mounting approaches. Pitchside's setup guide explains where to place one or two phones, how to reduce common blind spots and when to use a fence mount, post mount or tripod.

One phone or two phones

One phone can work on smaller pitches when a wide, stable view captures the important playing area. Two phones can cover opposing halves or different angles when one view leaves too much action hidden.

Phone-first, not a dedicated camera replacement for everyone

Dedicated systems may be more appropriate for established full-field recording, tactical review and livestreaming. Pitchside is focused on phone-recorded small-sided stats, highlights and player records.

Pitchside mount development

Pitchside is developing its own double-phone mounting option. Compatibility, pricing and availability will be published after testing. Check Product Status for current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pitchside a camera or an app?
Pitchside is an app and analysis platform designed to work with suitable phone-recorded footage. A separate double-phone mount is in development.
Do I need two phones?
No. One phone can work when it clearly covers the complete small-sided pitch. Two phones are preferred when a single view loses too much detail.
Which phones are compatible?
Publish a tested compatibility list before launch. Do not use broad “works with any phone” language unless the recording, upload and app requirements support it.
Does the camera follow the ball?
The fixed-phone Pitchside setup does not need to pan during the match. It records the framed view for post-match processing. Do not confuse this workflow with the earlier motorised tracking-mount concept unless that hardware is still part of the approved product.
Can I buy the Pitchside mount now?
The mount is in development. Add preorder availability, delivery estimates, refund terms and compatible phones only after Dave confirms them.
