How It Works

Record a match in three steps

No camera operator, no technician. Learn the setup once; it's the same three steps every match.

Step 1/3

Set up

Screw Hexa onto a tripod, place it at the halfway line 4–10 m behind the sideline, raise it to 3–5 m. Press the power button; the app finds the camera over Wi-Fi.

Tip

The higher and farther back the camera, the sharper the far corner.

Step 2/3

Show it the pitch

Tap "Set up pitch" in the app. The camera finds the pitch lines on its own and proposes the four corners; you check and confirm, or drag a corner with your finger. You only do this once per pitch.

Tip

If the lines are faded, mark the corners by hand; this step matters for framing quality.

Step 3/3

Start recording

Start recording and get back to the match. Hexa stitches the two lenses into one panorama on the device while the virtual camera operator follows the play. Stop when the match ends.

Tip

The battery covers a 90-minute match; on a tournament day, charge between matches.

Afterwards

When the match ends

The recording is ready in the app: a panorama of the whole pitch and a broadcast-style auto-framed video. Watch on your phone, download to a computer, share with players. Player analytics and live streaming coming soon.

Do I need internet?
No. Your phone connects to the camera's own Wi-Fi; you only need internet to share the recording.
How do I send it to parents?
Download the recording to your phone or a computer, then share the file or a link from your own channel (WhatsApp, Drive, YouTube).
Where do recordings go?
They stay on the camera and wherever you download them; nothing is uploaded to a Hexa server.
