The device contains several sensors: 3D accelerometer, 3D gyroscope, thermometer and barometer which collect a whopping 1200 data points per second. This data combined with advanced algorithms from Gait Up enables Pomocup to calculate multiple features simultaneously.
Ease of Use
Pomocup attaches to your ski with a secure magnet and clip, then sends your touring data directly to your smartphone while you ski.
After your tour, analyze your performance in more detail with the Skilog web interface.
“For me, the Pomocup device, powered by Gait Up, is the perfect device to measure the technique, says Kilian Jornet, Ski touring & ultra-trail running world champion
