Yes! Six months after purchase, it's still as good as new.
That's correct! The material is extremely light. You can set up various types of bb grams and then select which gram you want to get fps for. Because it's all plastic, I'd just be cautious with it.
It certainly ought to. I don't have it, but it's number nine. The weight of 9 grams equals 152 milligrams. There are 78 grains total. Those are the units of measurement for projectiles.
Yes. The backlighting on the screen can be adjusted.

I only wish there had been clear instructions from the beginning. This Chronograph is very good and easy to use. Because different fields have different fps limits, it's especially important to measure your weapons' fps when it comes to airsoft. The only problem is that there are no real instructions (just a pseudo manual that doesn't explain how to do things but shows where buttons are), so I'll walk you through the basics (not all, but enough to get you started): 1. br>br> The power button is represented by a rectangle. To turn off, press the power button once and then again. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br You can switch between screens by pressing the "left/right" buttons, and if you keep going right, you'll eventually reach the customization menu. "3. """"""""""""""""""""" When you're on the menu, select a category by pressing right, then right again to manipulate. When you're finished and want to return, turn left. 4. br>br> Simply select your preferred analysis screen (any screen other than the menu) and fire away to put your airsoft gun to the test.
This Chrono came with batteries, so that's a plus. The unit kept turning off, which was the first problem I encountered. The batteries were found to be depleted. Second, I ran about 30 bbs through the unit before it began to chronograph; third, there was no way to clear the readings other than to turn the unit off and on, so I got an error on the screen. After doing some research on the error, it turns out that it's fairly common, and that clearing the error requires connecting the device to a standard android usb charger cord and a power source. Temperature, humidity, and altitude are not taken into account by the unit. br>br>I found the device to be more difficult to use than it needed to be. It's good value for money. But I'm not going to buy it again.
If this happens to you, simply turn the unit off, plug in the micro USB cable to a charger, and turn it back on. The device will self-calibrate and correct the problem! br>br>Aside from that, it appears to work flawlessly. br>br>Screen is bright and easy to read. Shots are consistent and very close to my field's Chrono. I can't seem to get a round per second reading, but I assume that's my fault. br>br> The system (at least in terms of the user interface) is identical to units costing twice as much. br>br>Only suggestion for improvement: A "select" button would make navigation so much easier. The "right" key is sometimes "select," and other times it is simply "right. " You won't know unless you give it a shot.
The instructions were adequate, with the exception that they did not explain how to properly measure rps. It has a "shot counter," which, because of the way the LCD is set up, appears to be your rps meter, but it isn't. After a 2-second delay, Rps will appear above your fps readout. I can say the rps meter is accurate, but I'm not so sure about the fps readouts. They are accurate, but I have to recalibrate the unit every now and then because it starts reading the gun I just chronoed at like 80 fps lower than it should be. Not sure if this is user error or just a glitch but it seems to work 90% of the time . This was the cheapest Chrono and I have multiple airsoft/pellet guns for.
I used to play here with the same gun (Cyma AK) when it was brand new, and it chronoed at exactly 400fps. I swapped the barrel for a tbb and flat hopped it, but the frame rate jumped 20 frames per second, and I couldn't use it. There will be no more. This one appears to be accurate when compared to what the field chrono recorded. I'll hopefully get my spring swapped and it will drop it enough for me to play at the local field, but I won't have to just hope and drive 30 minutes to find out I can't use it.
Nerf guns, airsoft guns, and gas from airsoft guns shot too close to the face are all detected. Darker BBS, black, and dark brown are not her favorite colors. Clear BBS is also a no-no for him. All of the colors white, tan, blue, light gray, yellow, and green seemed to work well together. The battry operation is nice, but I use it in my shop and only use it to charge my phone with a micro USB cable. If I let the chrono power itself down on the power supply I'm using, it will power up and then turn off. However, this is due to the phone charger's power supply. If I unplug it from the wall and re-plug it, it will turn on and stay on until it turns off on its own.
When trying to chronograph a 68 caliber paintball gun through a hole or shall I say square the size of a matchbox, it's a wonder it isn't blown to pieces I've tried it once and that's it by the time I use it, my return window is up Don't waste your time or money.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly chronograph, this is the place to The instruction manual is the most serious problem, if not the only one. While it isn't bad, it is very basic, so some prior experience and/or common sense are required. But once you've figured it out and programmed it, you're good to go, and the process is very simple. It's what I'm using with 17 people. Air rifles are used to fire pellets at 22 people. And the readings I'm getting are essentially the same as what I expected and found with other chronographs of varying cost and quality. So far, I'm happy with it, and the lack of detailed instructions in the manual was the only reason I deducted a star.
