For first timers using SmartPitch® we recommend setting up your phone camera 15 feet to the side and 6 back of the rubber using Practice Mode. Here's a set up tutorial video for a backyard bullpen session using 15 x 6 feet, in the snow in March! In it, SmartPitch® measures 10 pitches in less than 30 seconds.
SmartPitch® here is running on an Android phone. An iPhone version is also available.
The distance from the rubber (in this case, marked by a ball bucket) to home (here marked by a batting tee) is 35 feet. You can use SmartPitch® at distances up to 60.5 feet between the rubber and home.
See other blog posts for additional examples and tips. Just scroll down to the navigation keywords and press "Set Up".
