Step 4: Set up the camera and tripod
Setup the tripod in line with the finish line, preferably on the infield
and approximately 10 feet back. Note: Minimum recommended
camera distance from track is 8 feet (at this distance you may not be
able to see the feet of the athlete in Lane 1 –being able to see the
feet is not a requirement for accurate timing on the Torso of the
athlete). If you need to be closer than this you may have to use the
optional 6mm lens.
1. Extend the tripod legs so the geared head is approximately 7 ft
high.
2. On the near side of the finish line, hold a plumb bob so that it is
suspended directly above the middle of the finish line. This is
the plumb line, shown as a in the image below.
3. Tie string to the screw on the top of the tripod head. Have your
assistant take the other end of the string to the far side of the
finish line and hold the string taught. This is the sight line,
shown as b in the image below.
4. Move the tripod to the left or right until the plumb line and
sight line touch at position C in the image below. The tripod is
now in the plane of the finish line.
