# What kind of mount should I use?

Your phone needs to be securely attached to the rack, a wall, or on a tripod.  If the camera moves around during a lift you will get inaccurate velocities or rep counting.  Using a magnetic mount phone holder works great as you can move it around for different lifts.

Here are some magnetic mount phone and tablet holders that we've found work well:

||| Warning: Flexible phone mounts tend to swing around **a lot** when attached to a rack.  We recommend not using a flexible mount attached to a rack and using a magnetic one instead.

There are a variety of iPad tripods that will work well.  You will need a tripod mount that holds your iPad in a Portrait orientation and not a Landscape orientation.

| Most devices have their camera in the top middle portion of the screen, so make sure your mount does not cover that part.

Now you know what kind of mount to use, how should you angle your device to get the best tracking?
