Basketball filming, from tip-off to final buzzer.
Trackd turns your iPhone into a court-side camera that follows the game, with a Broadcast View and live scoreboard for basketball.
Courts are where Trackd currently tracks most consistently. On a basketball court the players and ball stay large in frame, so a single iPhone at halfway can follow play end to end.
Choose Group Sports → Basketball for everyday recording, or Broadcast View when you want a calibrated broadcast angle and an optional live scoreboard.
Group Sports recording
Pick Basketball, choose Halfway Line or One-Third Down the Court to match the tripod, aim at the centre and record.
Broadcast View
A 183 cm tripod at halfway and a six-point calibration of both hoops and the four corners, set on the mounted iPhone.
Live scoreboard
Go live with or without a scoreboard; score and time are controlled from a second device, and viewers use a private link.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I set up Trackd for a basketball game?
Beside the side line at halfway, outside the run-off and walkways, with both baskets in view. In Group Sports, choose Halfway Line or One-Third Down the Court to match where the tripod stands. Basketball Broadcast View uses a 183 cm tripod at halfway.
Can I livestream basketball with a scoreboard?
Yes. Basketball Broadcast View offers Live with scoreboard, with score and time controlled from a second device, where Live is available for your account.
What is the six-point basketball calibration?
In Broadcast View you mark both hoops and the four court corners on the mounted iPhone so Trackd knows the court boundaries it should frame.
Will the battery last a full basketball game?
The Trackd Mount has up to 8 hours of battery per charge and can charge your iPhone while recording. Connect power for livestreams, which use more battery.
