Long & Triple Jump Measurement
The fastest, most accurate way to measure, display, and record performances in the long and triple jumps — a complete rethink of the laser rail measurement system. A system built by officials, for officials.
Traditional laser-rail systems were built for a simpler job. They're cumbersome, they tie up two officials, and because a laser rangefinder can only calibrate to a single offset, they lock you into one takeoff board. In the triple jump — where multiple boards are the whole point — that means you abandon the laser and back to stick and tape measurements; back to two officials, less flexibility, and needless frustration on the runway and in the pit.
JumpRail was built to fix every one of those problems.
Here's the breakthrough. Instead of locking a laser rangefinder to a single offset, JumpRail calibrates once and remembers every board you register — carrying the precise offset for each takeoff line. And when you switch to the triple jumps, moving from one board to the next is a single tap, not a teardown and re-zero.
Calibrate offsets - up to 6 - at the start of the meet and forget it. No need to recalibrate between events or flights; JumpRail keeps the geometry exact so you can keep your eyes on the competition.
When an athlete lands, speed is everything. Laser-sight the pit mark, tap DISTANCE on the screen to trigger the DISTO and the measurement appears on screen and to remote displays instantly — no tape dragged across the pit, no bending or kneeling to read a number, no sand in your shoes from standing in the pit; no hassle, just results.
The result is a jumps event that flows. Marks come faster, the runway keeps moving, and you deliver the kind of pace and precision that used to take a full crew — all from a single iPhone and if desired, results can be posted to remote iPads for athletes, coaches, and spectators to see. You won't need to yell out results any more.
Every measurement is captured the instant you take it and logged to the local database; fair or foul - every measurement. Record jumps for every single flight(up to 3) and the final. Protests? Dark marks? Those are recorded too! Nothing gets lost, nothing gets scribbled on clipboards, no need to erase mistakes or reconcile later; just pure performance, accurate results.
Compare measured results with the flight coordinator and settle a question in seconds. When the event ends, every mark - fair,foul or protests are available on screen. An accurate record is already in your hand &mdash on your iPHone; organized and ready to report.
That's it, the whole picture: laser paired, boards calibrated, measurements flying onto the screen and straight into the record — with live results pushed to every LaserPad display in the venue.
And it's proven where it counts. JumpRail was refined on the track, not in a lab — used by local colleges through regular-season competition and at collegiate championships, and developed hand-in-hand with experienced officials and with the help of the coaches and track & field team at Nazareth University.
With JumpRail, you've got everything you need to run a faster, sharper, more accurate jumps event than ever before. Warm-ups are over. Time to compete.
Connect your iPhone to a Leica DISTO over Bluetooth — no cables, no fuss.
Enter your takeoff boards once. JumpRail handles the offset math for every board automatically.
Laser sight the mark and trigger a measurement on the DISTO. The distance is captured instantly — no tape, no error, no math.
Every measurement is recorded and pushed live to LaserPad iPad displays for athletes, coaches, and the fans.
Multi-board offset math is built in, so the triple jump is no longer a fight against your own equipment.
Bluetooth capture from the DISTO keeps the runway moving and the competition on schedule.
Push real-time results via the companion LaserPad iPad App and display results for the athletes, coaches, and spectators.
One official, one device — no second official tied up on a tape measure.
Consistent, repeatable measurements accurate to 1/1000th of an inch you can stand behind at any level of competition.
Attempts are logged automatically for each jump and through each flight and final.
We designed a 3D-printable carriage that holds the Leica DISTO, your iPhone, and the line laser together as a single unit — and slides cleanly along the rail. Everything stays aligned, so every measurement is consistent and repeatable, and setup takes seconds instead of minutes.
