Flex Starter – Wireless Start Transmitter

The Flex Starter is a professional, wireless handheld starting device designed for track and field and cross-country events where reliability, consistency, and simplicity matter.

With a single button press, the Flex Starter sends a secure wireless trigger to FlexStarter receivers positioned along the start line, producing a clear, amplified tone for athletes and timing systems. No cords across the track. No complicated setup. Just a clean, repeatable start every time.

Built for real meet-day use, the Flex Starter is compact, durable, and easy to operate, making it a dependable solution for coaches, meet directors, and timing crews at every level of competition.

Whether you’re running an official meet or training athletes with consistent electronic starts, the Flex Starter delivers modern performance without the cost or headaches of legacy starter systems.
