Field notes
The help material treats filming conditions as part of the measurement: it recommends a side view, a level camera, and an unobstructed view of the whole pitch. It also gives troubleshooting steps for clips that arrive at 30 frames per second after sharing, and says a pitch-specific bug report includes the clip only with the user's permission.
