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.
