Other than the ones that are I think 9 or 10 thousand, are there any FAT timing systems out there that the general public can buy?
And if there isn't then why isn't there?
Wouldn't we all benefit from an affordable FAT timing system?
And I don't believe freelap is the equivalent to an FAT timing system. I don't think they are the same. I could be wrong about that though.
record your video and then count the frames your body is moving in the video and you got your time
Anyone fast enough to benefit from FAT timing is running for a track club, university or racing.
Matt, you don't need a FAT timing system when you can't break 12 in the 100m. Just keep having fun recreationally and save your money.
matt is a top tier athlete so i'd watch your mouth around him before he knocks your teeth out. he can easily do a 12 maybe an 11 on a good day with wind
matt you should invest in some sprinting blocks for your dash videos i think you can really improve and go from your collegiate status to elite status
Watched his videos. There is no way he can break 12. My sister can run faster.
I think there are a few phone apps like the sprint stopper app that would suit your needs.

its ridiculous how oblivious you are to matt's clear talent at that weight. watch your mouth twig before he makes a dash video running towards you with his fist
I can jog on turf in tennis shoes over 40 yards faster than Matt can max effort with spikes on through 40 yards while on the track.
Hey London, how’s your flexibility?
Can you put together a yoga video? Herschel Walker used to do ballet.

I have some. I'm getting a 60m dash time trial in this week from the blocks so that all motion is going forward and not backwards first from the start.
Also does anyone know where to find a FAT timing system for a good price other than freelap which isn't even FAT?

Right but 700-2300 doesn't seem like something the general public would want for FAT timing.
There has to be a way for someone to make an affordable FAT timing system at a price range of 297-456 dollars. Right in between there seems like something the majority of the public would buy.
Why has nobody thought about doing this yet at a better price?
Actually, the Agee Race Timing system is NOT FAT timing; just chiptiming for XC/road races and workouts. I'm no software guru, but this system is by far the cheapest. I think the costs you might be overlooking is the hardware needed to run the system such as a PC, reader, antennas, chips, etc.... If you have several of those elements already, then you could piece together a timing system for less than the $2300 for the basic start-up package.

That...doesn't even make sense. I'm the one who SAID I could jog on turf in tennis shoes over 40 yards faster than Matt can max effort with spikes on through 40 yards while on the track, so of course the same goes for me...because IT'S WHAT I said.
Matt, two things.
1. Someone has already answered your question FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. Use your phone, or other recording device. Standard devices use a frame-rate of .033 seconds per frame. Count your frames on your run, add up the seconds, and PRESTO, a FREE FAT SYSTEM that's accurate to essentially .04 seconds. Trust me, this is as much or more than your running deserves. Which segues into...
2. You don't really want this, Matt. Imagine timing yourself with the cold reality of even psuedo FAT. When you get a 5.18 40 yard or a 8.06 60m result....what's the plan then? Fudge the numbers? It's gonna bum you out, bro. I'm DYING for you to see the truth, but I'm not sure you'd be able to mentally cope with it. Might be best to not bother.

whats your problem idiot? you clearly don't know how things work around these parts. stop replying to this thread as you clearly have never broken 60 in the 4 and are trying to give advice

1. Why are you referring to a 400m dash PR in a post about 60m and 40 yard dash pursuits?!?!?!
2. If your go to is "broken 60"...does that mean your PR is, like, 58? That would be sad...I bet my PR at age 13 is faster than your lifetime PR.
You could build your own for roughly $10-20. Get a IR photodiode, a IR LED, a button, some circuit components, a USB, and your laptop or phone. Press the button to start the clock, each time you break the IR beam generate a pulse and send it to your computer to record the timestamp along with a photo.
