External Camera

Cost: $100 - $500
Camera Mount
Whether you use the iPad or an external camera for video recording, some sort of stablizing mount is very helpful. Choices include a tripod, monopod and/or a table stand. See examples. Good selection on Amazon.
Cost: $50-$100
External Battery
A life-saver when your iPad’s battery is running low. See example. Great selection on Amazon.
Cost: $50+
Apple AV Adapter
Easiest and cheapest way to use Takedown’s Scoreboard feature. Available for Lightning and USB-C iPad connectors. Don’t forget to get an HDMI cable — Amazon is a good source.
Cost: $50 - $70 for adapter, $10-$20 for HDMI cable
iPad
Upgrade or add another iPad to your Takedown deployment. Amazon and eBay are good sources for used iPads.
Cost: $200 +
Protective iPad Cover
If you drop an unprotected iPad from shoulder height onto a solid floor, the screen will likely crack or worse. A folio cover is cheap insurance. Find a new one on Amazon or eBay.

Video Subscription
Add a video subscription to your Takedown scoring subscription and reap the benefits of an efficient video workflow.
Cost: $150 annually
Digital Display
For Takedown’s Scoreboard feature, you need an HDMI-equipped display. Schools typically have an inventory of these displays and your school’s gym might already have a compatible wall-mounted display.
Cost: $125 and up, depending on display size.
Bluetooth Scale
Use Takedown’s free paperless, wireless weight recording feature to conveniently track athlete progress toward their weight objective. Takedown is compatible with the Befour PS-6615 scale.
