fmmobley 0 #1 October 24, 2005 The makers of Pro-Track say that for accurate speed readings, it should be worn on your leg. Do you find that is true? If so, is it off by a significant amount?... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #2 October 25, 2005 It is MOST accurate when it's not being burbled inside a helmet. It's still pretty accurate when in a helmet.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velocity-96 0 #3 October 25, 2005 theyre still pretty accurate. but yes mine will still read crazy every 50-100 jumps or so. if you mount your on the outside of your helmet opposed to the inner pocket this will rectify the problem. dont know too many people mounting theres on their leg. seems pretty stupid.

dragon2 2 #4 October 25, 2005 It's not stupid, unless you want to use it as a beeper If you want to use it as a speed indicator, say for birdman or speed jumps, and want the most accurate results, you need to wear it on your leg or hip. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohanW 0 #6 October 26, 2005 I find it to be true. When looking at (entire) speed profiles, I see oscillations of 6 seconds in the speed graphs. Not at home, so I can't check speed variations, but this has led me to believe ProTrack uses a running average over 6 seconds for speed. I use it as an advanced logbook only, so I keep it in my pants pocket. That gives seemingly very accurate readings.Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #7 October 26, 2005 Quotei thought speed jumpers mounted the protrak on there Main lift webs. We Do or we mount it them on the outside lower edge of our rigs like the pictures I showed you. Mounting them on your leg is problematic in that if you kick your leg you can spoof the readings to read VERY high but the graphs will show the spikes when you DL them into your computer.

Broke 0 #8 October 27, 2005 Is there a better way to mount a protrack to the outside of a helmit other than the cheesy 2 zipties they send you.Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
