Measure the run, not just the footage
Every recording becomes GPS-estimated performance data you can review, repeat, and compare.
Performance tests

Performance results are GPS-estimated using the phone's GPS receiver. They are useful for comparing your own runs, but they are not certified timing equipment. See how Performance Analytics works.
What the HUD shows while you record
Readouts depend on the HUD profile you choose, so not every value appears at once. Every readout uses GPS-derived speed, distance, time, and course data — no current selectable HUD exposes motion-sensor gauges.
Core telemetry
- Speed — GPS-derived, MPH or KM/H.
- GPS Status — Live indicator during use.
- Recording — REC indicator, elapsed time, and orientation.
Performance HUD readouts (Pro)
- Max Speed — Highest GPS speed reached during the recording.
- Average Speed — Average GPS speed across the recording.
- Best 10s — Best 10-second average speed.
- Best 30s — Best 30-second average speed.
- Recording Distance — Distance covered while recording.
- Recording Duration — Elapsed recording time.
- Course — GPS travel direction (course over ground).
- Distance From Start — Straight-line distance from the starting point.
Every session in one place
Review, search, organize, analyze, export, and share saved recordings.
Library capabilities
- Automatic, localized recording names
- Rename, favorite, and delete on every session
- Search across saved sessions
- Filters, including Minimal HUD, Performance HUD, and legacy HUD recordings where applicable
- Sort by Newest, Oldest, Top Speed, or Longest Duration
- Pro Best 10s sorting
- Play and Export as quick actions
- Performance History entry point for cross-session results
- Pro session notes, activity type, CSV, GPX, and KML when entitled
Export destinations & formats
- Original — Preserves the source aspect ratio.
- TikTok — Vertical social format.
- Instagram Reels — Vertical social format.
- Facebook Reels — Vertical social format.
- YouTube Shorts — Vertical social format.

Social-format exports use center-cropping. VelocityCam creates the export file and opens the target app or Android share interface — it does not upload directly to social networks.
