Hi Everyone! I am planning and wanting to do a celebration gathering to celebrate the winners of our first play tennis challenge cohort! The idea is to have it in the morning of Saturday June 27th. We were going to try to do the picnic tables at Balboa park, but they were asking for $400 for the reservation and demanding that we make it a private event and giving them a proper headcount. So we are shifting the idea to maybe having it at City Racquet Shop and we can gather in the back of the shop in the alley. But we are also putting an ask out if anyone could possibly host, or know of a different option of a place. I would like to keep the function open for the gathering of the challengers, friends and partners. I did put of a $10 membership for this and future play tennis celebration. We are going to use this as a way to cover some cost and know who can come to our parties. So if you are interested in coming or if anyone wants to come, they can sign up for Skool and pay for the membership. I am going to add another membership that will incorporate the celebration membership, but to add on for tennis goodies($20 Value). I am thinking a can of tennis balls, a pack of overgrip(3 individuals), and a store dampener. The membership will be $20 that would include the celebration membership ($10) and the tennis goodies ($20).

What tripods have people found helpful with their setup? Noticing mine is filming slightly tilted and also falling over. Is it better to shoot horizontal or vertically? Horizontal covers the entire court but vertical translates better to iPhone reels video format
