Vertical jump, frame-exact

How high did you really jump?

Film a jump in slow motion. Hops reads the true capture fps from the file, you flag the frame your feet leave and the frame they land, and the airtime turns into your jump height. On your phone, with no account.

Why another jump app

Slow-mo files lie about time.

Phones save slow motion stretched for playback. Count frames at the playback rate and a normal jump turns into a superhero one. Hops checks the real capture rate first and shows you where every number came from.

Plant the flags.

This is the Flight Strip. Each cell is a slow-motion frame. Drag the blue flag to the last frame on the ground and the orange flag to the first frame back down, or use the arrow buttons.

From video to centimetres in under 90 seconds.

  1. 01

    Film or pick a slow-mo

    Record in the app at up to 240 fps, or open a slow-motion clip from your gallery. Hops reads the capture fps from the file itself.

  2. 02

    Flag takeoff and landing

    Scrub the Flight Strip and drop two flags. The airtime bar between them shows exactly which frames count.

  3. 03

    Get an honest number

    Height = g·t²/8, shown with the frames and fps it came from. Save it, compare it, share it.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

How accurate is it?

The flight-time method assumes you land with straight legs. Land like that and film at 120 fps or more, and the error is typically around ±1 cm. Landing with bent knees makes any flight-time app read high.

Do I need special equipment?

No. Your phone’s slow-motion camera is enough. A friend holding the phone, or a phone propped on a bag, works fine.

What if my video isn’t slow motion?

At 30 or 60 fps each frame is 17–33 ms, so the result is coarse. Hops tells you the fps it found so you know how much to trust the number.

Why did another app say I jumped over 2 metres?

It probably counted frames at the stretched playback rate. Hops reads the capture rate and refuses to save airtime over 1.0 s.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Hops has no server and no account. Everything happens on your phone.

Is it a subscription?

No. Measuring is free. The extras are a single lifetime purchase.
