About a year ago I did some latency testing with my P3P, I got around 180 to 220ms lag between real time and the display. Today I did some comparison testing with my Mavic. I've had it about a month now and was curious how Ocu-Sync compares with the original Lightbridge that I'm so fond of. I got from 150ms to 340ms after doing many sample tests. Times will change based on the content and movement, but my baseline tests are similar between P3P and Mavic. I simply capture a phone stop watch with the craft camera and take a photo of the phone and ipad display, side by side. A simply math subtraction proves the latency. The P3P had more consistent latency of 180 to 220. The Mavic has a wider range of latency. Here are some samples of the results.

230ms

340ms

This was the best at 150ms

Nice work. Thanks

Nice work, cheers. I notice a quite big difference between my different devices. I have tried my ipad and 2 different android phones - and ipad seem to have the least lag. I guess hardware plays a role?

Wow, I had no idea it drifted that much... I guess it makes sense, more data, more lag... or at least I'm assuming that is the case?
