Your phone is the timing gate. FPV Lap Timer uses your phone's camera to count laps automatically - no transponders, no timing gates, no extra hardware. Mount your phone at the start/finish, line the gate up with the on-screen center line, hit Start, and every time your quad crosses the line a lap is recorded. That's it. Built for FPV, tinywhoops, and drone racing practice, whether you're grinding a backyard gate or dialing in a full track. CAMERA-BASED LAP TIMING • Rear or front camera acts as a stationary lap counter • Real-time motion detection with velocity tracking for clean, reliable crossings • Adjustable detection sensitivity and approach distance to match your spot • Set lap direction and number of laps per run • Voice lap announcements, lap beeps, and haptics so you never have to look at the screen RACE YOUR GHOST • Every session becomes a ghost you can race against • Live beeps and gap callouts tell you if you're ahead or behind your best run • Optional synced audio overlay captured with your run • Set your active ghost and chase your personal best, lap after lap RECORD & SHARE • Screen-record your race with the live HUD and mic audio • Play back and share your runs BUILD YOUR FLEET • Track every quad in your hangar • Log motor size, motor KV, prop type, dry weight, all-up weight, and a photo • Compare setups side by side ANALYTICS THAT ACTUALLY HELP • Session stats: best lap, average, consecutive laps, airtime • Group results by drone, motor, KV, or prop to see what's actually faster • Consistency scoring, leaderboards, and lap-distribution charts • Full history of every session and every lap FREE TO START The lap timer is free - count laps, hear announcements, tune sensitivity, and review per-session stats with one track and one drone.
