Compact and easy to use, FlexOmega uses today’s technologies to enable modern, innovative monitoring in the sport of rowing. This system takes direct, accurate measurements at the exact point where all the athlete’s oar power is transferred, the oarlock. Measurements are accurate because the sensors are built into an aluminium sleeve and calibrated. Temperature fluctuations are also taken into account.
