OverLap turns your iPhone into a lap timer for FPV drones. Stand the phone beside the gate, in line with it, and fly: the camera sees the drone cross and times every lap. No transponder, no timing system, no setup on the drone. Made for FPV pilots who train on a track, from tiny whoops in the living room to 5" quads at the field, alone or with friends. TIME EVERY LAP • Camera timing: take off when you're ready, the phone detects each crossing of the gate and calls out every lap • Easy setup: pick the rear lens (0.5×, 1× or 2×), detection covers the whole view by default, or fit the window to the gate or draw the zone with a finger • Goggle DVR: import the recording from your goggles, OverLap lines it up with the race through a code shown on the phone • Video export with a stats overlay (Tower style) for sharing: pick any laps, start from a preset, landscape or portrait • Race formats: free practice, a number of laps or a time limit • Lap statistics: best lap, average and your best laps in a row, live on the race screen, with a callout for each new best • Tracks with a goal (best lap or best laps in a row) • Track maps: import a track drawn in tinylaps, see it in 3D or in augmented reality on your floor, and fly through it • Apple Watch: start and stop the race from your wrist, see your last and best laps and the lap count, pick the pack with the Digital Crown • Hangar: your drones beside your packs, picked for each race, with each drone's best laps per track • Battery packs: numbered packs, printable QR labels scanned by the camera, rotation, C-rating and air time per pack; switch packs between races without redoing the setup • Streak and stats: your race days, air time, laps, personal bests and records OVERLAP PRO, PAID ONCE One purchase unlocks everything, for good, shared with your family.
