Support & Help

Open Loopshot and tap the camera button in the center of the screen. That's it. No complicated setup required.

Camera & Microphone Permissions

On first launch, you'll be asked to allow camera and microphone access. Tap “Allow” to enable swing recording. The app cannot record without these permissions.

To change later: Settings > Loopshot > Camera / Microphone

Apple Watch Pairing

If you have an Apple Watch, simply open the Loopshot app on your Watch. It connects to your iPhone automatically. No manual pairing needed.

• Placement: Set your iPhone at hip height. The rear angle (down the target line) is recommended.
• Recording Format: Native 4:3 capture ensures full-body framing from head to toe.
• Person Detection: When a person enters the frame, an orange bounding box appears. This means swing detection is ready.
• Swing Detection: Uses AND detection: Apple Watch accelerometer + camera frame analysis combined. Both must trigger to register a swing.
• Without a Watch: Swing detection works with camera frame analysis alone, even without an Apple Watch.

Rear Angle (Down the Line)

• Place on the target line extension, directly behind the ball
• Hip height (approximately 90-100cm / 3 feet)
• 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) behind the ball

Front Angle (Face On)

• Place directly facing the golfer from the target side
• Same hip height
• 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) in front of the ball

How Swing Detection Works

The Apple Watch accelerometer detects wrist motion. It registers peak acceleration approximately 0.12 seconds before impact (at wrist release), and combines this with camera frame analysis to confirm a swing.

Watch Controls

• Digital Crown: Rotate to select your club.
• Save / Discard: After a swing, save or discard directly from your Watch.
• Favorites: Mark swings as favorites from your Watch.
• Frame-by-Frame: Use your Watch as a remote to step through frames.

Toggle Watch Detection

You can turn Watch detection on/off from the iPhone recording screen. When no Watch is connected, detection automatically falls back to camera-only mode.

• Auto-Organized: Swings are automatically sorted by club and date.
• Favorites & Notes: Mark your best swings and add notes to remember what felt right.
• Pinch to Zoom: Pinch to change grid density. Zoom out for overview, zoom in for detail.
• Bulk Actions: Multi-select to save or delete multiple clips at once.
