The current generation of   racing drones have two things in common, they all use 5.8GHz video   downlinks, and they all need to be on different channels to race   together. This is all that the lapRF system needs to precisely time   events. No RFID transponders, no   Infra-Red transponders, no complex installations. Just place the lapRF   system in the start\/finish gate, and start racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n            \r\n          \r\n        \r\n\r\n          \r\n            \r\n              \u003ch2\u003eBluetooth Link to Phones and Tablets\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n              \u003cp\u003e The LapRF Personal Timing System includes a bluetooth module which can quickly link an iOS or Android device to the gate.

But if you want to invite a few friends along for a quick race   around the park, we support that too, out of the box. No need to figure out how to interface your mates timers together, or run multiple apps, just share yours. Timing resolution (which is   more than enough with one pilot) decreases as you add more pilots, but   when you start with more than enough, and share, you end up with just   enough \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n            \r\n          \r\n        \r\n      \r\n    \r\n\r\n      \r\n\r\n        \r\n          \r\n            \r\n              \u003ch2\u003eIntegrated 2600mAh Battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n              \u003cp\u003eIntegrating a high capacity,   but common 18650 battery (available from vape shops worldwide) the   LapRF doesn’t need an external power supply. To allow quick in-the-field   replacements, we included a handy battery door in the bottom of the   unit, minimizing down time during battery changes. When it is time to recharge the battery, the integrated charger just requires a USB hookup, no need to remove the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n            \r\n          \r\n        \r\n      \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      \r\n        \r\n          \r\n            \r\n              \u003ch2\u003eCustom Timing Receivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n              \u003cp\u003eInstead of using a standard   receiver module in the timing system, ImmersionRC’s hardware engineering   team designed a custom module, which can be calibrated on-the-fly to   adapt to the different power levels found in races. Sensitive enough to detect   passing quads, but selective enough to ignore adjacent channel   interference. Heavily filtered to ignore off-band interference common at   race events. To top it all off, we   designed custom antennas with gate-shaped beams which let you precisely   define the detection area of the timing system (something that   competitive units sorely lack). These antennas are designed for   RHCP\/LHCP, and Linear polarization, covering everything that will be   seen at a race event.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n            \r\n          \r\n\r\n          \r\n            \r\n              \u003ch2\u003eEthernet Interface (8-Way Event Version)\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n              \u003cp\u003eThe high-end version of the   lapRF, the Event timing system (which will be announced in more detail   shortly), includes an Ethernet port to allow direct cabling of the   timing system into race management systems.

Your race is configured,   your fellow pilots are ready to race, goggles down, and now you need to   take your phone\/tablet from your pocket to hit the start button. Nope, just reach to your wrist, hit the start button, and wait for the adrenaline buildup that accompanies most race starts. Of course, as an added bonus, this doubles your bluetooth range!.   Just leave your phone\/tablet within range of the timing system, and use   your watch to remotely control it from up to 100m away.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n            \r\n          \r\n\r\n            \r\n              \u003ch2\u003ePimp your Puck!\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n              \u003cp\u003eDuring development, we   referred to the lapRF personal edition as the ‘Timing Puck’ (its   resemblance to a hockey puck apparently had something to do with that) Pimping your Puck therefore   seems an appropriate way to refer to customizing your timing puck,   making it stand out from the crowd,\r\n              in the same way that our Vortex community loves to pimp their quads Several ‘pimp kits’ will be offered soon after product release, in colors defined by the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n            \r\n\r\n          \r\n            \r\n              \u003ch2\u003eConnex ProSight Compatible\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n              \u003cp\u003eThe LapRF is just as   comfortable in the digital world as analog.
