I was having a hard time understanding exactly what she was saying.  Then I saw the &quot;light&quot; go off over head and she left.  In a few minutes she returned with her IPad and took several videls of me throwing the dice.  <\/p>\n<p>\tWhat a revelation.  It will show you any flaws that you have.  Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it.  I did.  I got exactly what I needed&#8211;and quickly too.  <\/p>\n<p>\tTo be sure this will never&#8211;I repear never&#8211;replace the Elite Video but it is a small step in the right direction.  <\/p>\n<p>\tI was able to see exactly what you was referring to and make the correction.  I have had 5 money making sessions at home since then.  <\/p>\n<p>\tHave your wife, girl friend (preferable not both at the same time), friend, neighbot or anybody else take the video.  The IPad has a much larger screen than your phone and this will be a great help.  <\/p>\n<p>\tTry this technique.  It will help.<\/p>\n<p>\tJust my $.02 worth.<\/p>\n<p>\tDoc<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on September 7, 2012, 12:59 am<\/p>\n<div>Great idea! <\/p>\n<p>\tAs you know I love to see picture or charts.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Goldfinger on September 7, 2012, 2:57 am<\/p>\n<div>Doc,<br \/>\n\tI have been using my wifes ipad since she got it for Christmas.  I just hang it over the rail behind me and it checks my pickup, my set-up, my grip, and my takeaway. It is great. Its not fast enough for doing the release. Once in a while it will catch my hand opening.

I currently have 4 fluorescent fixtures with a total of 12 bulbs above my practice area. Late at night there is a beacon going out my basement window.<\/p>\n<p>\tBUT it helps you maybe see something. Does not help with analysis, but it shows some stuff that I know I should not be doing.<\/p>\n<p>\tAs Doc says does not replace the elite video but does give the person at home another tool to use and practice with so that we can hopefully get better.

There&#8217;s a couple of apps one can use on the iPad\/iPhone\/iTouch.  Nexvio puts out a SLOWMO app that one can adjust the playback speed.  &quot;Normal&quot; speed video is 30 frames per second (to the super detailed out there, it&#8217;s actually 29.997 fps).  This app slows the playback down by as much as 50% of normal speed.  It&#8217;s not bad, but you need lighting.  When you decrease exposure time due to the shutter speed going at a faster frame rate, you&#8217;ll need to compensate by adding light, otherwise your picture will either be dark, blurry, or both.<\/p>\n<p>\tCheck eBay for some video lighting.  I bought several Smiths Victor Q80 lights several years ago for under $100.  I just checked and there&#8217;s one Q80 for $40!  There&#8217;s also some Q60s out there for as little as $25 each.  The Q60s are 600 watt lights and are perfect for lighting up a slow motion craps session.  <\/p>\n<p>\tGood luck!<\/p>\n<p>\tSectionEight<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on September 9, 2012, 12:06 pm<\/p>\n<div>Eight, great information.
