Thanks. I look forward to hearing more about this. We may have some photo buffs/engineers here who could construct something similar.

Rochester Squash and Chris, thanks for the feedback. Although I’ve joked about patenting the SquashBox, I realize that others have developed similar ideas. That being said, I’ve never seen any documentation about the use or creation of a SquashBox.

Rochester Squash, I’ll be happy to share information for my version of the SquashBox. I’ll e-mail you later the in the week.

Tough to patent. Prior art

Jay Prince (Squash Magazine) has been using a box in the court for as long as I can remember – well, at least 8 years.

I saw my first squash box camera in New Mexico in 1997 or so.

They certainly do give a different perspective, can be quite instructive seeing people from the front wall.

That is very cool indeed…and ideal for non-glass courts where “cutting a hole” in the wall is not feasible.
How did you build it? Instructions would be great (unless it is patented of course ). We see so many action shots of the pros from the front but this may be something a lot of amateur orgs could be interested in.
