SportMirror

SportMirror turns your iPhone or iPad into a delayed mirror for sports training. Set a delay of up to ten seconds, take your swing, and look up — your last rep is already playing back. No tripod runs, no tapping record, no scrubbing a timeline. Then rewind any moment in slow motion — or let SportMirror spot your swing and clip it for you, automatically. HOW IT WORKS Point your device at your hitting station, mat, tee, or floor and choose a delay with one slider. SportMirror continuously buffers the camera and shows you the recent past — so every rep is followed by its own instant replay, hands-free. REWIND IN SLOW MOTION Freeze the delayed feed and scrub back through the last ~25 seconds. Replay any moment at half or quarter speed to study your form, captured at a smooth 60 fps. A marker drops you right on the action so you never hunt for it. AUTOMATIC SWING CLIPS Turn on AUTO and SportMirror watches for your swing, then saves a clip on its own — starting just before the action. No tapping record between reps. Tuned for baseball, softball, and golf swings. YOUR CLIPS LIBRARY Every clip in one place. Loop them back in slow motion, save the keepers to your Photos library, and clear the rest with a tap — one clip, everything older than a week, or all at once. MADE FOR TRAINING • Delay slider: live (0 s) up to 10 seconds • No dead time: a live view with a countdown ring while your delay buffers • Pinch to zoom — recordings match exactly what you framed • Mirror mode (automatic for the front camera) and one-tap camera flip • Tap to hide the controls for a clean, full-screen view • Record a full session anytime — clips save straight to Photos PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device — including swing detection.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SportMirror at none against DelayCam's shown. DelayCam's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
