I feel fortunate that I bought a unit that works as advertised,of good quality, and really cheap ($69.00) This unit does have a camera mount type thread receiver on the bottom for using on a tripod or other type holding set up. This unit takes a 9 volt battery and the battery compartment is big enough to hold a spare battery. Other than that their are 2 ports for data connection to a external device which are a usb type port and a ear phone type plug. Basically just 3 functions on one switch which are OFF- feet per second- meters per second. The unit is well built well and is sturdy and the readout is large enough and instant.

Plus I can customize my remote display device and type. This I like because my eyesight is poor and I would rather have my data displayed remotely next to me. This unit is basic in that it will only give a readout of the speed and do no calculations UNLESS it is paired with a android/apple phone or tabletĪnd a external source application for various computations. The phone/tablet app loaded fast and worked as described (except the app will not allow for deletion of error shots without saving then editing) For example i have a spring loaded BB pistol that shoots at 100 FPS and have shot hand loaded bullets at over 3700 FPS with consistence accurate readings. After playing with this chrono for just a few hours ( and doing the research) I am comfortable in knowing what to look for in a chrono I believe.įortunately this (my first ever) unit seems to work perfectly out of the box and with all types of projectiles both fast and slow. Many people gave this basic chronograph good reviews and like the better units some complained of gett ing a lemon. My strategy/approach was to buy the cheapest unit I could find that had enough good reviews to indicate that the unit could work well enough to get the job done.

As far as reviews go, check out the reviews for the higher priced units and yes you will find the same complaints regardless of price. First time users of course have to experience the world of (exceptable) lighting conditions and all that comes with the dance of maintaining the right kind and amount of light above the 2 sensors so that the unit works and is accurate.

THIS IS MY FIRST CHRONO AND I CLOSED MY EYES AND WENT FOR IT! After spending a whole day reading reviews and watching videos of different units I bought this one. The app allows the shooter to perform several interesting tasks with the readings of the chronograph: instant check on detected velocity insert notes (e.g., reloading datas) managing factors such as temperature, BP, average, standard deviation, maximum and minimum velocity levels detected choosing between metres-per-second and feet-per-second readings take note of the number of shots fired and the pattern spread registering the data for each group and send them by E-Mail.My strategy/approach was to buy the cheapest unit I could find that had enough good reviews to indicate that the unit could work

The chronograph can be connected to a smartphone through a standard Audio minijack cable, which makes it compatible with basically any device out there − although the necessary application is currently available only for Apple iPhone and Android devices. The accuracy level of this cronograph appeared to be good enough we tested it with high-quality RWS and GECO commercial rifle loads for which we already had solid data regarding all performance, including standard deviations.Ĭaldwell declares that each cronograph is factory calibrated, with a guaranteed accuracy of +/- 0.25% thanks to an advanced 48 MHz processor.
