Timing system for athletics

Where to buy measuring systems for athletics

• You can find used timing systems in the classifieds section of the local magazine or on the Internet, for example on eBay. As a tip: first take a look at notices on the bulletin board in sports clubs. Sports articles and sports equipment are very often offered there.
• Of course, there are also new timing systems for athletics, which are likely to be much more expensive. There are even specialist dealers like hs-electronics or Pro-time, which offer measuring systems for various sports, such as athletics. You can find technical data and prices on their website.

Take a close look at the timing system

If the system is bought in a used condition, there are a few things to consider. In addition to the good general condition, the individual components are also important.

• The batteries (or the battery) should be in a state in which they are still doing their job. Therefore, ask whether the batteries are still performing well or whether they need to be replaced in the medium term. If this is the case, the costs are relatively high; a battery can cost up to 1000 euros.
• The control panel of the system should be undamaged and the display should be easy to read. With some devices, the surface is covered with a plastic film that wears out relatively quickly. Put the device into operation briefly and check the functions.

• The tripod of the timing system should also be checked. Check whether this is stable, whether every setting is possible with it and whether the tripod also fits the device. A replacement costs around 100-150 euros.
