UpTakes Sports Video Camera

Highlight reel as you film

Features & Capabilities

UpTakes is a patented gesture-controlled camera app that records when you raise your phone and stops when you lower it. After every clip, UpTakes asks if you want to keep it or auto-deletes it — so you go home with only the highlights, not hours of unwanted footage.

US Patent 11,082,609 B2 covers the motion-detection technology that makes raise-to-record possible.

HOW UPTAKES WORKS

RAISE TO RECORD Lift your phone toward the action and recording starts automatically. No buttons. No menus.

LOWER TO STOP Bring your phone back down. Recording stops the moment your phone tilts past the gesture threshold.

REVIEW INSTANTLY After every clip, UpTakes shows a thumbnail with a countdown. Swipe to keep it, swipe to delete it, or pick a mode that decides automatically.

TWO MODES, TWO STYLES Auto-save: every clip is kept unless you swipe to delete. Auto-delete: every clip is discarded unless you swipe to keep. Built for events where you record liberally and commit only on the moments worth keeping.

———————————————————————————————

BUILT FOR FAST, UNPREDICTABLE ACTION

UpTakes is designed for any live event where the moment worth capturing might happen at any second:

  • Youth sports — soccer, basketball, baseball, football, lacrosse, hockey, volleyball
  • Professional sports — foul balls, home runs in your section, surprise moments
  • Pickup leagues and adult sports — film peers, capture the play
  • Action sports — skating, BMX, mountain biking, surfing
  • Hunting, fishing, wildlife — record liberally, save the strike
  • School events — recitals, plays, graduations, award ceremonies

The unifying feature: you can't predict when the moment will happen, and once you miss it, it's gone. UpTakes lets you stay ready without keeping your phone up the whole time.

User Reviews

**Update 2** It's a good app & really funstions well. Suggestions from me to make it even better is to have a pause mode for video the other would be to incorporate Action Mode, don't know if it already does *Update* After using the app for 2 weeks, I like using it, still debating if it's worth paying a subscription especially when I don't really see what your paying extra for on top of just purchasing the app, there's no cloud storage or anything except use of your iPhone camera.... Time will tell It's a good app, it's simple enough to use but can use a little explanation on settings & features. I also don't see what you're subscribing to, I'd gladly buy the app because it works as advertised but what am I paying yearly for??
