To record useful sparring footage, place your phone on a stable mount outside the active area, frame both athletes, test the angle, and save each round as a separate clip. Ask your partner and gym for consent before the session starts.
Phone setup
Confirm that your partner and gym allow recording. Agree on whether clips can be shared or should stay private.
Use a stable mount outside the ring or mat. Keep it clear of walkways and anywhere it could be kicked or knocked over.
Use the rear camera in landscape orientation. Move far enough back to keep both athletes visible throughout the round.
Record a short test clip before training. Check the angle, lighting, sound, free storage and battery level.
Start and stop recording with each round when possible. Short clips are easier to review, store and share.

Separate round clips are usually easier to review, store and share than one long video containing every rest period.
Yes. Optional recording starts and stops with the round timer, so every active round is saved as a separate clip.
