## Description

Athla Velocity is the first hands-free video speed radar extension that uses your iPhone or iPad camera to measure ball and cue speeds. It supports baseball, softball, tennis, cricket, and soccer, offering precise speed readouts without tapping or holding the device. Calibrations are designed to be within roughly 0.3 mph of top-tier professional radars, making it a practical coaching and practice companion. A Free Edition is available to get you started, with optional shot packs or a Velocity Ultimate Edition to unlock all modes.

Designed for outdoor use, Velocity displays speeds directly on your screen and can mirror readouts to up to seven devices for a stadium-style experience. Features include Voice Announce, Bluetooth speaker compatibility, and sharing speeds with coaches. It leverages only the device’s camera for measurements, turning your iPhone or iPad into a versatile sports radar you can use on a field, court, or backyard.
