What you actually need
- A phone, a tripod and a phone mount: enough for a solid skills video. Keep the camera steady and don't zoom (see video tips).
- A radar is optional. It's handy for tracking progress at home. Recruiting numbers should still come from verified events (PG, PBR, varsity/travel), as our email guide explains.
