My point is that it is important to consider where you will be using it.
Very good advice.
? My first unit was a
Chrony Beta which gave accurate results, but the menus were so difficult to navigate I had to get the instructions out every time I used it. It was a gift from my 2 sons, so it stuck around longer than I would have normally allowed.
It really was infuriating to use.? I now use the ProChrono which I have loved. It's slick, well made, and easy to use. My only complaint in 2-1/2 years is that water got inside once and I couldn't get it open to clean the light screens. Luckily simply placing it in a dry place put every thing back right.
I'm looking forward to getting the Bluetooth adapter.
? One thing I can tell you is that if you get a free-standing model, then you'll need a
camera tripod. You can easily pay $300 for a nice tripod, but if you'll visit several Thrift stores you can find plenty of them for $3-$5. The advent of digital cameras has made tripods almost obsolete in the home, so they are abundant. And you'll only need to get your chrono 24 to 28" high. Remember, you'll be shooting across the top of the chrono,
about 18" above the unit, so great height is
not required.
? Also I use wooden
chopsticks in place of the steel guide wires. That will help you prevent damaging the unit if a bullet strikes the guides. Go eat Chinese tonight !!
