It seems to be based on a mini DV camcorder.

You can buy just the software if you already have the necessary hardware.

I bought a Panasonic GS 400 and a Sony Viao which I use for my coaching, but I haven't yet been able to justify the extra expense of the Sports motion software up to now.

I'll have to sweet talk my "Boss".

I'd like to hear if anyone has used this software.

We have this software and use it with a DVD camcorder. It isn't really suited to archery except for running two sessions side by side so you can compare release etc. The tools are fairly straight forward to use but of course it is only as good as the recorded material. We have also found it best to convert the clips from our camcorder outside of the program and then import them.

I think it is very good value for the side by side function alone, you can mark two clips at the same start point - for example the point the release aid is triggered and then compare the two frame by frame.

Like anything, if you have a good camcorder, tripod and you take time with it then it could be OK. I don't however think it would be worth going and buying a setup specifically to use this software.
