    Hi all,

    I bought the Racebox Mini after seeing the sales pitch about accurate GPS and an IMU to measure actual lean angle (some apps only calculate this value).

    Sorry to say, it's not very good.
    The app hardly works. If you try to start a new session, more than 70% of the time the app will crash and you need to restart.

    If you do magically get through to the "GO!" screen and start riding, you will find by the time you stop and open your phone again to check your crazy lean angles; the app closed down and there is nothing in the saved sessions folder.

    I have not got this thing to work once through their own app. 2 days at Cadwell with no data.

    A solution is to use this while paired to RaceChrono Pro, however it only works as a separate GPS signal, the lean angle doesn't work with RaceChrono Pro (yet).

    It's an unfinished product and now I need to think of whether to take the 200 quid hit, or to send it back and risk all the messing around with taxes and refunds of VAT (I bought from eBay seller in Germany).
