Questions, answered

One iPhone films the volleyball match. Your other iPhone or iPad keeps score. Hit Stop and you get scored footage: the video with the live score on it. The raw footage, without the score, is kept too.

Two devices: two iPhones, or an iPhone and an iPad. The Camera must be an iPhone. The scorer (we call it Control) can be an iPhone or an iPad. Nothing gets installed in the gym.

No. The phones link straight to each other. Just keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on (you don’t have to join a network) and tap Allow when asked about Local Network.

You keep score. In beta, after you map the court, the app can suggest who won each point. You confirm, swap or dismiss every suggestion. It’s off unless you turn it on.

Yes. One scoring device can link up to 3 Camera iPhones. Record and Stop start and stop all of them, and you can watch any of them on Control. Combining several cameras into one reel is Coming

No, it’s optional. With a Hohem iSteady M7 linked to the Camera iPhone, you can pan, tilt and zoom from your scoring device. It also works with gimbals that support Apple’s DockKit, which can follow the play for you (Follow play or Follow subject, off until you turn it on). Follow play needs a player in view. Without a gimbal, a tripod works fine.

Scored footage has the score right on the video. It’s what most families share. Raw footage is the same video without the score, for coaches or editing.

Both save on the Camera iPhone. After Stop, the scored footage also copies over to your scoring phone or iPad. Raw footage stays on the Camera iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud.

Yes, with Rallies only. It’s off until you turn it on for a match. It makes a separate, shorter copy of your scored footage that keeps each confirmed point, from the serve to just after the point ends. Time on the timeout, warm-up and set-break clocks is cut too. Your full scored footage and raw footage are never changed. With more than one camera, you pick a primary camera and the cut uses that one.

Open the match in the library, then use Share (text, AirDrop and so on) or Save to Photos. Choose 1080p, 4K, or a small size for texting. You can also make a highlight reel: points won, long rallies, set and match points, and scoring runs, with the score already on it, wide or vertical for phones.

Videos stay on your devices. Before your first reel leaves the phone, the app asks you to confirm you have permission, including a guardian’s OK for anyone under 18. Highlight reels have a Face blur switch. It runs on your phone and softens faces in the clips. See our privacy page.

The Camera iPhone keeps recording. Control keeps every score you tap with its exact time, and when the phones reconnect, VantageCam sends the score to the Camera automatically, so your scored footage stays in sync.

Pricing isn’t set yet. VantageCam is in a private test (TestFlight) right now. Join early access and we’ll email you once, when it opens.

Not yet. It’s iPhone only (iPad works as the scorer) and not in the App Store yet.
