Canon U.S.A., Inc. announced that SwingRec, an ultra-wide-angle camera dedicated to capturing your golf swing for hands-free AI-triggered recording, is currently available for early investors on Indiegogo. Using the companion app, users can receive detailed analytics on swing, angle, and form to potentially help improve a user’s golf game.

Now available for pre-order for early investors on Indiegogo, the ultra-wide-angle; compact camera is paired with AI-powered automated recording technology to capture the details of golf swing your. Recording 120 frames per second via WiFi wireless technology, SwingRec sends frame-by-frame replays and analysis to a compatible smartphone or tablet through the companion app. The companion app provides real-time swing analysis with detailed overlays showing players’ form including, head and body movement, angle of the shoulders and hips as well as the tilt of the body. The companion app allows players to track progress over time and compare swings to older footage to identify consistent swing patterns and ways to improve.

In 2022, Canon used Indiegogo to launch the PowerShot PICK, which was successfully funded, and, in 2019, crowdfunded the wearable Canon IVY REC.
