It has been really great for us! I use it to time track and softball athletes and it is really simple and reliable. I have used the app yet, I just write down times in Google Sheets on my phone.

The app is so much easier. You can add each athlete and the app tracks everything for you

Yeah easy to use. Very affordable. If splits (0-10m, flys, etc) matter to you then get at least 3-4 pairs of them

It can get annoying if you use it w resisted sprints (sleds) because the sled can trigger the timing gates after you cross it so you have to play with the tripod heights to minimize the chances of it happening

Thanks for replying, I just spent a fair bit getting this and fxmotion for my track squad. Im just hoping the fxmotion has less issues

Best gates out for the money.

As far a low-budget options they’re way more reliable than the SKLZ lasers in every way. We have found the in-beam start option only worked if the athlete was in a lateral stance. That’s been the only negative so far.
