Check the correct pod mounting here
You can use the same pod in the boat (oar or seat) or erg (seat or frame depending on erg type) but the correct placement is crucial.
Pod on the Oar
The pod goes on the same side as the back of the blade with the pointy end pointing towards the rower's handle.
There is no calibration of the pod, that's why it is really important that the pod is positioned as level as possible with great care. If the blade flight path during recovery is flat it means that the pod is well positioned.

If the blade flight path during recovery is flat it means that the pod is well positioned. TIP! Enable the "Curve Symbols" in Settings to get a symbol in the upper right corner of each graph showing what the shape of the graph should roughly look like: If your graph is completely different it means that the pod is not placed correctly.
Pod on the Boat Seat
The pod can be taped under the seat or on the side of the seat. The only important thing is that the pointy end of the Pod (the blade on the sticker) points towards the footstrethcer
Pod on the Boat Seat in the ProW pad
The pointy end should be towards the foot stretcher
What about the Phone in the Boat?
Place the phone close to the foot stretcher where you can see the instant feedback
Use a splash proof phone so you don't need to worry about measuring technique in rough waters.
You can attach the phone using e.g. DualLock tape directly to the hull of the boat or to an existing Speedcoach holder or similar.
Mount the phone rigidly and in landscape position with the back of the phone toward the stern.
Pod on the Concept2
Clip the pod onto the support under the seat. Make sure the blade on the Quiske sticker points towards the footstretcher.

The Pod can also go on the side of the seat (or on the seat inside the ProW pad) with the pointy end (sticker blade) towards the foot stretcher. Video tutorial.
Pod on the RP3
Clip the pod onto the frame, make sure the sticker blade points towards the rower.

What about the Phone on the Erg?
Attach the phone to the erg handle using a suitable holder keeping the phone rigidly in landscape position
