Place the Partner on court

Place the Partner on the court, at the designated spot.

Courts are tight, so keep bags, paddles and spare balls off the playing surface.

The court is enclosed, so set the Partner down with room between it and the back glass.

💡Pro tip: make sure the ball agitator is tucked out from under the netting so it doesn't get stuck.

Mount the Station on a net post

Mount the Station Holder to either net post using the belts. Make sure the Holder is mounted level and the cameras are facing both sides of the court, then turn on the Station.

On a portable pickleball net, check that the post is stable and won't lean once the Holder is strapped on.

💡Pro tip: choose a net post facing opposite of the sun so the cameras can see properly.
