No more stopwatch reaction-time errors - step through the footage frame by frame and confirm every time with your own eyes. - Frame-by-frame timing you can trust Step through the video one frame at a time and mark the exact start and finish moments. Set the recording frame rate (30/60/120/240fps) and get times down to 1/240 of a second per frame. - Two measurement modes Photo Finish (finish times): mark the start, then record each runner's torso crossing the line. Multiple runners are ranked automatically. Split Timing (laps/splits): add marks at each checkpoint to get split and cumulative times. Enter distance and step count to see cadence (steps/s), stride length (m/step), and section speed (m/s). - Record right in the app Shoot with the built-in camera and go straight to measurement. 60fps and 120fps recording is available on supported devices. - Stopwatch for hand timing A stopwatch with large, easy-to-press buttons for the track.
