Muzzle speed Meter with tripod $28.92 @ AliExpress

[nervoustrigger]

FWIW I’ve used the clamp-on version extensively for about a year now and I don’t think it has ever missed a reading.  Somehow it seems really tolerant of muzzle blast, even the cold cloudy vapor of a wasteful CO2 airgun.

That does not seem to be the case with mine.

I tried again with the 0.22" Streamline at high power with the muzzle 7 inches away from the first sensor and now it seems to be making sense.

I got this 5 shot string in meters per second: 258, 262, 260, 260, 259 for a 259.8 average.

This translates to 852 feet per second and 29 ft lbs which is much closer to what I was expecting.

I will compare it to a "proper" chrony soon to see if that is the case.

I never saw that unit with the tripod on Amazon.  Try searching under "shooting speed tester" + tripod.

That is the clamp-on version, which I have from AliExpress for a little over $22 (80-reading memory variation). The $28.92 unit originally referenced in this thread is the tripod version and can probably still be had on AliExpress for around $30. This looks like the tripod unit on Amazon for $44, which was the lowest I could find in a quick search:

Nice, that one has a 4 digit readout. It looks like the resolution is tenths of a meter. My unit has only 3 digits of resolution, so it only reads to the nearest meter.

I have 4 chronographs, China clamp-on, ProChrono Pal and 2 Caldwells.
I use the China clamp-on the most and it works good.
Maybe I should have bought the tripod model so I could shoot groups while testing muzzle speed.
The clamp-on model changes the point of impact of the pellets.
There is no danger of shooting the clamp-on model.
Both of my Caldwells give incorrect and inconsistent velocities from -1% to +3%.

I guess someone handy with electronics could find plans for diy.

KnowBuddy,  Nice find!  All I could find was the $179 version.  Just goes to show how Amazon plays with the pricing.

These are sold by 3rd party vendors and not directly by Amazon.

If you go to aliexpress and read the specs on a bunch you may see how some may do more then others.  Like some are 600mps up to one that's a 1400mps 80 shot counter and what ever.

There just too man to read over to find the ones with the higher options .

[HunterWhite]

The unit listed in reply #466 is $43(+1 shipping). It does say that you can get a 20% discount for a order of ten ( I think? ). That would be $(430 - 86) or $344 plus shipping.
If you get a group buy together with your local buddies then it could be about $35 each.
You won't know exactly until you place the order, get the discount and add in the shipping.

Further to this, I tried the same rifle and pellet combination with a Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph, indoors with halogen lighting.

I got this 5 shot string in meters per second: 262, 262, 263, 263, 262 for a 262.4 average.

Close enough but a little high in comparison, so I tried the medium power setting.

The Caldwell gave an average of 212.4, compared to an average of 211.0 for the Cheap-o Chrony.

I would call that sufficiently accurate for my purposes.

So now the question is which chrono is more accurate?

... This thread is long winded bit it seemed guys tested these with there caldwell's and pro comps and called it good.inside of margin of error


But with anything you could get back hat 1 in a million lemon .

Thing is parts used. Like the sensor or do the led color match to the sensor  ,software used  jap components or junk china ,ect... But then guys here claimed there's did as well as the caldwell's they have for a fraction of the price .  And your not buying the name just a working unit.

[HunterWhite]

I think that for many of us the extra cash is hard to justify for this accessory.  You need a cronograph of some kind to tune an airgun. So for some of us it's this or nothing. It's not better in some ways, but it is affordable. 
I HAVE shot a Caldwell, I never shot the clamp on.

For me it's not something I would use a lot to warenet spending 80 -100 bucks on just a time to time check something with where these cheaper units would do .

Ya, I assume there all from china but you not buying the name caldwell or pro comp

Maybe same base electronic but  not in a big brand design tin box or fancier software or a app.   

Also at aliexpress the overviews most all got DIY in them . So I thought are they made at some guys home in china?
