Cameras & Equipment
Cameras & Equipment Overview
Permanent camera systems allow teams and facilities to fully integrate video analysis into games and practices. See why the top schools and facilities in the nation are taking their game to the next level.
RESULTS:
After intense testing with the USA Olympic Team and Major College programs, RVP has chosen an analog camera system for customization at stadiums and facilities. We have found that the benefits of analog cameras far out weigh the limited capabilities of the standard digital cameras.
ANALOG VS. DIGITAL:
Our digital camera clients have long experienced grainy, blurry footage when capturing in poor lighting conditions. This has caused them to forego capturing under these circumstances. Our analog cameras allow for higher shutter speeds in challenging light conditions, resulting in brighter footage without blur in the bat or pitching motion.
EASE OF USE:
Not only have analog cameras out-performed digital; analog cameras can be permanently mounted in your stadium. Each camera comes in a protective housing with heaters and blowers that activate in extreme environmental conditions. The only equipment you or your team manager has to bring to your game or practice is your laptop!
INSTANT ANALYSIS:
Permanent cameras make it easy to access all game data and tendencies for your team and the opposition. No more setting up tripods, bad camera angles, dark or blurry footage, firewire mishaps, or capturing from a tape after long practices and games.
2 Batting Cage Camera Kit
Model 2 Batting Cage Cameras
The 2 Batting Cage Camera Kit is perfect for the coach that wants to have a camera dedicated to the front view of their righty or lefty hitters. For clients that have the Ce300 analysis system or higher, 2 views can be captured simultaneously. Therefore, enabling a front and back view of each swing.
Batting cage footage may be the toughest footage to translate to your students. Often times with digital cameras, images can turn out blurry because of poor lighting conditions. Or, students and coaches are forced to view footage that is recorded through a net to protect the digital camera. RVP has found cameras that are protected if they are hit with a ball, while performing in low light conditions while at close range. Digital cameras often have limitations in shutter speed settings in low light conditions causing blur when filming high speed movement. Our cameras allow you to take the blur out of the bat or pitching motion enabling you to translate important positions in the swing or pitching motion to your players with clarity.

Practice Balls
Model XLR8 Speed Balls
"HITTING IS TIMING, This is the only product I know of that develops timing!" - Rick Down, Hitting Coach for the NY Mets. |
|
| "An outstanding compliment to our hitting stations!" - Sue Enquist UCLA Softball |
These practice balls fly through the air at different speeds when pitched with the same arm speed. The XLR8 balls are the only product in the world that develop timing for the hitter.
The XLR8 Speed Balls were designed with a specific intent: How do we instruct baseball players to hit different speeds of pitches? Answer: Produce a ball that flies at different speeds! Previously, one ball could not accomplish this without some manipulation by the “pitcher”. Not anymore.
The XLR8 Speed Balls fly at different speeds with different flight characteristics when thrown with the same arm speed. Presto! Instant off-speed pitch training without any manipulation from the “pitcher”.
Now Mom, Dad, your sister or anyone else can throw great batting practice without any effort or knowledge about baseball. Simply throw the XLR8 Speed Balls and they do the rest.
Because of the difficulty in hitting off-speed pitches we designed a Youth version of differing colors. The “fastball” is white and the “off-speed” pitch is yellow. This assists the younger players in recognizing the off-speed pitch. The optic yellow color also makes it easier for the younger player to “track” the ball to the hitting area.
Watch product demo here: http://3d4life.net/balls.wmv
UPDATE: The Detroit Tigers set a Major League Record for most homeruns to open the season (2006) in a 3 game series!! The previous record was 10. The Detroit Tigers Hit 15!!!
Ivan "Pudge" Rodriquez goes 5 for 5 for the first time in his career!
The soft foam construction allows a "pitcher" to stand or kneel somewhat close to the batter without fear of being struck by the practice baseballs. This allows for more accurate practice pitches. Additionally, these soft foam balls do not break as do the commonly used plastic golf balls.
- Improves Concentration
- Trains "See the Ball" Approach
- Promotes "Pure Hitter = Power Hitter" Approach
- Great "off-speed" pitch training
- Develops hand-eye coordination
- Pitch count training
- Youth model allows color recognition
- Professionally endorsed by Marty Barrett (World Series Record Holder), Rick Down and Don Slaught (Major League Hitting Coaches)
- The XLR8 Practice Balls are being used by colleges (UCLA Softball, Texas A&M Softball, University of Oregon Softball,Northwestern University Softball, US Naval Academy, University of California, College of St. Scholastica), High Schools and professional teams
- They are outstanding for cold weather climates where indoor training is a must
4 Batting Cage Camera Kit
Model 4 Batting Cage Cameras

The 4 Batting Cage Camera Kit is perfect for the coach that wants to access to all 4 perfect angles of their hitters or pitchers. 4 cameras give you access to the front view and 3 target views which include pitcher, catcher and back views. The pitcher and catcher views are perfect for studying a hitter's timing and tracking the pitch into the strikezone. While the catcher view is great for measuring whether the hitter is giving themself enough clearance for the bat to travel through the plane of the pitch. For clients that have the Ce300 analysis system or higher, 2 views can be captured simultaneously. Therefore, enabling a front and/or two target views of the swing or pitch.

Insider Bat
Model insiderbat
The insider bat™ is a revolutionary baseball/softball training tool that promotes a proper
swing path. The unique design allows for only one way to make contact with the ball……the CORRECT way!
I highly recommend the insider bat. Very rarely do you come across a training aide that is so easy to use and takes so little instruction. Immediately when the hitter picks up the insider bat his mind starts calculating the necessary swing path to hit the ball squarely.
Don Slaught President RightView Pro |
The insider bat™ is manufactured with aircraft 6061 grade aluminum and stainless steel. The shaft and “sweet spot” are powder coat painted, finished with a high gloss clear coat. The handle is high quality injection molded polypro copolymer with a comfortable polyolefin coating.
“Muscle memory” is a term used to describe a learned movement, pattern or habit. By performing the same movement pattern repeatedly, more effective nerve/muscle connections are made. These connections that are made repeat more effectively each time used. After developing muscle memory, the new action is automatic and will be performed without conscious thought. (i.e. walking)
If used properly the insider bat™ will assist in creating positive muscle memory for a fundamentally correct swing.
- Instant feedback for batter and coach
- Trains hitter not to roll wrists or (cast) before or during contact with ball
- Emphasizes “staying inside the ball” before and during contact
- Can be used anywhere, anytime, indoors or outdoors
- Forces hands in front of bat head during swing
- Great for Pre-game drills or “On deck” reinforcement tool
- Excellent when used as one arm drills
- Designed for the beginner as well as seasoned pro
