Racebox 10hz vs Racebox mini s 25hz

[Fulgrim]

Hi there,
New member here. I have a quick question, currently where I live with shipping and the black Friday sale. The costs are as follows;
- Racebox standalone 260eur (10hz)
- Racebox mini S 200 eur (25hz)
Would I be able to use the standalone unit with the app? Also is the difference between 10hz and 25hz tangible enough?
I would prefer only to have one unit mounted to the windshield with my phone in my pocket with the APP on. This way there is no need for two devices to be mounted and I can “play” with acceleration times etc. I am just worried about having very good accuracy.
I have written racebox directly and they claim that for all intensive purposes its similar in the accuracy department.
Thanks in advance,
Dick

You can’t operate your phone in your pocket while driving. It needs to be on / active and LapTimer needs to be the front most app. While in background or with display off, LapTimer will be inactive.

Hey Dick, welcome! I’ve used the Racebox standalone before, and yeah, it works fine with the app. The 10Hz vs. 25Hz difference really depends on how precise you need the data—10Hz is accurate enough for most casual stuff like acceleration times, but if you’re after super-detailed results, the 25Hz Mini S might feel smoother. I personally prefer having just one device mounted too, and the standalone fits that setup perfectly since the app handles everything from your phone in your pocket. If Racebox says the accuracy is close, I’d trust them—they’re usually pretty honest about that kind of stuff.
