Freelap Tx Touch Pro vs Freelap E-Starter

Рет қаралды 5,900

Жыл бұрын

Here I discuss the different ways to time your sprints, including your starts, with the Freelap Timing System. Using the Freelap Tx Touch Pro or the Freelap E-Starter, you can better assess your acceleration and starting abilities, and better decide how to progress your sprint training and strength training programs to target what you need to work on the most.

I've had the touchpad for years. I will say that the pressure on the button does damage it over time, though Freelap has been great with their after service.

@ATHLETE.X Жыл бұрын

Yeah my button is a little cracked after years of use. Still works, but some day it would probably stop haha. Freelap is definitely great about customer service! Thanks for sharing your feedback.

nice video - i find having my thumb on the touchpad when in the blocks pretty uncomfortable. If you have a training partner they can hold the touchpad behind you, and then you get the reaction time when they say go. Having said that, now having the e-starter it is amazing doing 8-12 block starts where every time you go, not when you are ready but when it sounds. doing that many reps you really feel when you jump the gun or have a bad start

@ATHLETE.X Жыл бұрын

Good idea with having a partner call the start and activate the touchpad. Also glad to hear the e-starter is working out for you. I’ve noticed good changes in how composed I can be when the gun goes off after using it a while. Appreciate you sharing your experiences!

So if you hipoteticaly use both devices at the same time, e-starter will measure RT + 2/100 sec additional time compare to Toucpad (eg. 11.00 vs 11.20)? Is e-starter compatible with old stopwatch? Thx

@BigWill219 Жыл бұрын

With the e starter do I need the normal freelap cones on the finish setting? I have the 2 normal freelap cones and having the e starter would be nice but I just don’t know how it works completely

For the last cone yeah. Cones in between for splits can be placed on Lap.

Is it possible to use the E-Starter as a TX Junior Pro? because that would make it possible to alternate its use, to train your start or to include it as a flying point and it would be very worthwhile.

Unfortunately not. That would be pretty cool though. Maybe we can suggest that to them for version 2.

If I’m using the touch pad and doing 30 meter starts do i place sensor directly on 30 meters? (Women’s 3rd hurdle mark)

So the E starter emits a sound like a gun shot that occurs 10 seconds after pressing the button?

@ATHLETE.X Жыл бұрын

It’ll say set at 10 seconds, then the gun sound goes off at a random interval averaging around 2 seconds later.

What would you recommend for someone that just start sprint training and don't want to invest at this point so much money in a timing system, but still needs some timing method when training alone?

@ATHLETE.X 7 ай бұрын

You could put cones down, film yourself in 120-240 FPS, put the video into Kinovea (free windows app), and use the stopwatch function to time yourself. Or there’s a cheap timing system on Amazon, I’ve got them linked in an article you can find on Google. Search for “best timing gates” and look for sprintingworkouts.com

I use the Xtimer system cuz it had the reaction time measurement before Freelap did. Sadly thry went out of business apparently, so i cant expand my set to have more transmitters to measure more splits. I'll switch to Freelap at some point.

@ATHLETE.X Жыл бұрын

Yeah that sucks you can’t expand the system now. Maybe someone will sell some used sensors on eBay haha. In the meantime at least you’ve got a system to use!

@@ATHLETE.X yeah the ability to have a system to start when you often train alone was very important to me. These days when i train with a group and our coach more often its not that big of a deal, but it definately helpen me alot before.

@thehandsonlandlord626 7 ай бұрын

Does the estarter also have a magnetic radius around it like the jr cones do? or can I start even with the starter cone instead of behind it

@ATHLETE.X 7 ай бұрын

You just have to be within 1 meter or so (maybe 1.5) so it can communicate to the chip. It helps to have a line of sight between chip & cone for best reliability.

Do you use a smart watch with the cones because I don’t have a smart watch and the cones won’t work while I record myself. I can either record myself or carry my phone in my pocket while I run which I hate.

@ATHLETE.X 6 ай бұрын

I have the relay coach and FX chips, not the FX BLE chips. If you have BLE chips you’re supposed to set the phone down on the ground a few meters past the final cone.

@419er Жыл бұрын

It would be good if the E-starter could detect false starts, so you put it a certain distance before the finish and if you cross it too early it knows its a false start. Or if you could combine the e-starter and the touch pad to detect false starts.
