Buy with caution. May not work with your rifle and setup can be frustrating.
Pros
I like the small size and easy pairing to my Samsung phone
Cons
Found it very difficult to get any readings on initial setup. Had to use rubber bands to attach to my rifle barrel very tightly and use the lowest sensitivity readings before it worked. After getting it to readout it worked ok but it took a second or two to give the readouts. So far I'm not impressed with unit and thinking of returning it. I'm going to play around with unit location and settings before making decision to return unit.
Pros
Great tool for tuning your PCP. You can really dial in your rifle for specific pellets and shot count to get the most out of your rifle.
Cons
No cons. Works great.
Set up at the range or the backyard is a breeze.
Pros
Works great with all air rifles from a .177 Daisy Red Ryder to a .72 cal Big Bore PCP! Very small and portable, set up is quick and easy.
Cons
Nothing
Would be nice if it came with the barrel clip as shown in other online videos
Pros
Quick and easy to setup and very reliable. No messing around with sunshades. Works im the house and out
Cons
Bluetooth setup the first time was glitchy, no issues after the first pair
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Will this work with 22 LR rimfire pistols and rifles ?
asked James from USAIs this only for Air Rifles or will it do regular rifles and pistols ?
asked James from USAThe Pocket chrono has a max reading capacity of about 1200 fps. For firearms up to 4000+ fps, this is what you would need: https://www.airgundepot.com/fx-outdoors-true-ballistics-chronograph.html?sid=322
Adam from USADoes unit come with the adjustable tripod as shown in the video?
asked Duane from USANo it does not
Jesus from USANo. It's the base unit only. I actually thought that my delivery box may be empty as it was so light weight.
Wayne from USACan I connect this via bluetooth to my win 10 tablet? What app would I download to accomplish this? Thanks
asked Forrest from USANo, the app is for Android and iOS only.
Edward from USAAnybody have specs on what the speed (FPS) range is? Understanding it's likely optimal between 400-1400, I'd like to know if it will read higher for center fire
asked George from USAIt will read from 0fps to 1100fps, so subsonic only.
Wayne from USAdoes this work on apple phones
asked Robert from USAYes. It has support for iOS.
Jesus from USAI just looked and the app is on the Apple App Store. Search FX Radar.
Wayne from USAI just received my Fx chronometer. I'm having a little trouble getting it to read out the fps. I only get 3 readings out of ten shots. Where do most of you set the percentage rate? I have mine set at 30% for the co2 profile. Is that good?
asked Rudy from USATry putting on 20, that would bake it more sensitive. The setting is under "Advance Return" it recommends "Highest Use this setting to fine tune the result from the Chronograph Using Small Large calibres may require fine tuning using this adjustment Lowest is most sensitive Too low can result in random readings Result is shown when the radar return exceeds the set value"
John from USACan this device be attached to a high power springer?
asked Rudy from USAI would not attach it to your springer without a little foam, rubber or sponge between the radar and the barrel to absorb the shocks, otherwise it will work fine.
Wayne from USAIt's not really FX only, you just need to consider the fps
John from USADoes this ship with the barrel bracket?
asked Dean from USAYes
Mark from USAIs this radar MK2? I have placed an order. I just wanted MK2.
asked TAO from China - People's Republic ofYes.
Mark from USAThis chrono does not turn on. Do I need to remove the 4 screws to insert the batteries?
asked Maureen from USAYes
John from USAInclude a barrel clamp?
asked Orlando A DiazYes, but you need to use river bands or something like that to secure it.
John from USAAre these coming with the mounting bracket.
asked Ronld from USAYes
John from USAFX has recently added the much needed barrel bracket to the FX Pocket Chrony. When will you have them and how do we folks who bought previously get one? Per Giles of Airgun101.com, FX will distribute the bracket free to all previous owners, but we'll have to go through our local retailer to get it. Thanks.
asked Bernard Orosz from USADoes unit read barrel and target speeds?
asked Glen from USABarrel only.
Edward from USAWill this return velocities if the phone is in airplane mode?
asked DaveIf your other bluetooth accessories work in airplane mode then this should do too, otherwise no.
Wayne from USAIs this durable enough for firearms as well?
asked Eric WhalenSpeed measuring range is 0fps to 1100fps. If attaching to something with a lot of recoil, I'd insulate this with cloth, foam, rubber etc. between it and the barrel (if that's where it's attached).
Wayne from USAWhat velocities range does it hold. Memory. etc. None of this is listed. Do you fire over it and how far out does it pickup the pellet. is it like a Labrador that you can set yardages or footages to give speeds at different distances?
asked J BikeThis is not a Labradar! No downrange velocity readings are possible, only velocity at the muzzle. The unit does use radar waves, so no cumbersome setups like Caldwell Chronographs that are sensitive to light and such.
Edward from USAWill it work on hand guns being most shoot under 1100 fps
asked Kurtiss from USASpeed range is 0 to 1100fps. so long as you hold the gun close to / over the radar, it should work for anything. It even has NERF guns listed in the settings.
Wayne from USAWill this also measure arrows traveling as low as 220 to 280 fps?
asked Augustus from USAYes.
Edward from USA
Battery life seems very good,interface to phone and iPad is consistent
Pros
Portability and consistency,this thing works great. I just set it on bench under barrel and never misses a shot. The price is competitive also..
Cons
Nothing comes to mind,,
