333 PADEL STORY
Our Story
We build one thing. A mount that lets you film your own padel, properly, in ten seconds.
Because you cannot fix a swing you have never seen.
It started with a phone against a fence
Everyone who has tried to film their own padel knows the routine. You lean your phone against the fence post. You wedge it into the mesh. You balance it on a bench and prop the angle with a water bottle.
Three points later it has slid over, or it is filming the sky, or it caught the entire rally except the one shot you actually wanted to see.
So you stop bothering. And you carry on playing the way you think you play, rather than the way you actually do.
That gap is the whole reason this exists. The best players at your club are not more talented than you. They have simply seen themselves play more often.
We looked for something better. There was nothing.
Tripods are for photographers. They take up half the run-off, they get knocked flat, and plenty of clubs will not let you set one up on the court at all.
Phone clamps are made for bicycle handlebars. Round tube, round clamp. A padel net rail is not a handlebar, and anyone who has tried to force one on has watched it slide off mid-point.
The few mounts built for the job are printed one at a time on hobby 3D printers, hold a single phone, and crack the first time a ball finds them.
And asking your partner to film works beautifully for about four minutes, until they would quite like to play.
Nobody had built this properly. So we did.
Three rules we do not break
01
On the net in under ten seconds
If mounting takes two minutes, you will not do it. You will play instead. Every design decision on this product was measured against that one number.
02
Two phones, not one
One wide for the whole court, one tight on you. Or one for you and one for your partner, so you both walk off with the clip instead of arguing over whose phone gets used.
03
It has to take a hit
A padel ball leaves the racket at over 80 km/h, and the net is exactly where a great many of them end up. Something that shatters the first time it is struck is a toy, not equipment.
Why the net, and not the fence
Almost every mount on the market clips to the fence. We tried it. It is the wrong place.
From the fence you are filming through mesh, from behind the players, at an angle that flattens the court and hides the depth of every shot. And no two clubs have the same fence, so nothing ever fits properly twice.
The top rail of the net is the only fixed point that is identical on every court in the world. Right height. Dead centre. Seeing both sides of the point. It is where a camera belongs.
So we designed around the rail and accepted the harder engineering, because the footage is the entire point of the product.
What we will never do
We will never tell you this makes you a better player. It does not. The video does that, and only if you watch it honestly. All we do is remove the reason you never filmed in the first place.
We will never build an app. No pairing, no account, no charging, no firmware update. It is a moulded piece of plastic that holds your phone on a net. It should stay that way.
We will never put you on a subscription. You buy it once. There is nothing else to pay, ever, and nothing hidden in the small print.
We will never add a feature that makes it slower to mount. That is the only rule that has ever cost us a good idea. We have kept it anyway.
We are new, and we are not going to pretend otherwise
Padel is the fastest growing sport in Europe, and it is still young. So are we.
We are not going to invent a decade of history or a customer count we have not earned. What we can tell you is this. The mount on this site was designed, printed, broken, redesigned and tested on a real court, on a real net, in real matches, by people who play badly enough to genuinely need the footage.
Every version that wobbled, slid, or filmed the ceiling was thrown out. What is left is the one we put on our own net every week.
If you buy early, you are buying from a small brand that is still proving itself. We would rather say that out loud than dress it up.
Ten seconds of setup, against months of guessing. That was the trade we wanted to make, and nobody was selling it.
Mount it. Record it. Improve.
You do not need a coach to see that your grip drifts on the backhand, that you stand too flat at the net, that you turn your shoulders half a beat late on the smash. You need to watch yourself once.
That is the whole product. Everything else is packaging.
