I like the looks of this.Please post your views. Does it work inside?This one seems easier to use on the bench than the ones that clamp on the gun barrel.Just be careful that you do not shoot it.It says hold the muzzle 4 cm to 8 cm = 1.5" to 3.1" from the meter. Is that true?$28.92 - $4 if this is your first order? WOW!
How in the heck do they make any profit at these ridiculous prices? I know their labor is dirt cheap, but come on
AliExpress also has this one that clamps to the barrel.Does anyone know which is best?Will a break barrel rifle recoil damage the one that clamps on the barrel?Jimmy, I ordered this one today. I will post the results when I get it and try it out.I already have a ProChrono Pal plus a Caldwell Kit, so this is just something else to play with.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Shooting-Speed-Tester-16-37mm-Muzzle-Velocity-Meter-Velocimetry-Measuring-Tool/32914509919.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.2.3c1472acLwBi3x&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10068_10130_10890_5730315_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_453_10084_454_10083_10618_5729215_10307_537_536_10059_10884_10887_100031_321_322_10103-10890,searchweb201603_2,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=c74a4036-1971-4a8a-b2dd-fa4f1f2b40c9-0&algo_pvid=c74a4036-1971-4a8a-b2dd-fa4f1f2b40c9

Maybe more accurate than my Caldwell which I don't think is very accurate.It works inside or outside in shade or sun.It gives a velocity reading every time. My Caldwell gives some errors.It is very small and portable. It is inexpensive.It is rechargeable from a computer USB port. Red means it is charging. Green means it is fully charged.It has an automatic shut off or you can shut it off with the button.The BAD:The instructions are ALL Chinese. The aliexpress.com website above has the only instructions that I can read.I have not figured out all the things that it does because I don't read Chinese. It is difficult to connect to some guns that have a front sight. I turned it 90 degrees so the front sight was to the side. The one with the tripod will be better for these guns.I would not bolt it to a break barrel. If I test a break barrel I will just lay the muzzle in the grove on a piece of felt and not use the screws to bolt it down. The vibration may damage the unit. The tripod one will be better for break barrels. I think it only reads in meters per second. Multiply by 3.28 to get feet per second.When I turned it off, it clears out all the information. I don't know if it clears itself when it shuts itself off.If someone knows how to use this chronograph better, please tell me.
