Installation of the camera
The photofinish camera must be installed exactly on a virtual extension of the finish
line and the sensor must be vertically perpendicular to this line.
The inclination of the camera is important for the ease of judgment. In general, a vertical inclination
of 8
o
to 10
o
is used for the rowing and the canoeing, and of 10
o
to 20
o
(in relation to the middle of
the finish line) for the cycling, the horse-racings and of greyhound. For athletics, an angle of 25
o
to
30
o
is recommended in relation to the farthest lane in order to prevent the competitors in the
foreground masking another.
Centre the tripod on the extension of the finish line. If it is equipped with a spirit level, align
the bubble precisely in the middle of the reference mark. Then slowly tighten all screws
checking bubble does not move. For a better stability, spread the legs as far apart as
possible and do not raise the central extension tube:
