Cheap Chronograph Review

[@dustinh4175]

This would be a interesting test with a springer or regulated gun to over a 10-15 shot string to test consistency.

[@gboutdoors5198]

I just want to tune my aea challenger pro and tune it for heavy slug shooting but I really don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a chrony so I hope it works

[@stevewilliams2895]

could it be reading a slightly lower velocity because the chinese one is going directly from the muzzle vs the chrony that is a few feet away? could the pellet be speeding up? i have no idea how the balistics work, but for me for £30/$30 is well worth it the peace of mind of knowing that my rifle is under the legal limit (the UK has VERY strict laws on this matter). ive ordered one thanks to this video

[@danielsalvia6689]

Greetings from Buenos Aires. I´ve just received a slightly different version of that chronograph. It comes with a tripod; and you can set it to read velocities in fps or m/s. Moreover, you can read kinetic energy values, introducing pellet weight (in grains). However, I´m trying to figure out what kind of kinetic energy ready it gives, since shooting a 7 grains pellet at 101 meters per second (air pistol; not rifle) it reads 35.6 Joules; which is kind of weird since doing the maths by hand you get around 2.5 Joules. Any clue ... ?

[@generalleeloaded]

while the numbers are flashing, 9 to 1, during the start press it 3 times and you can change to FPS. When SU flashes you can modify the weight to get joules. I believe the weight is in grams. single press up 1.0, double press down .1.

[@keithduffield5239]

Thank you for that. The 10fps correction is a bad idea. It really should be a ratio or % error correction. 10 fps only applies to your specific velocities. Also at this level and price point we are more interested in repeatability than absolute velocity. So in reality all three chronos you tested are equal if you are comparing rifles, ammunition, and the results of tuning mods. If you want true accurate absolute velocity be prepared to spend a fortune - like $5000

Interesting looking little unit. Can you see over it with your optic? Can the Chinese be switched to feet per second? Many of the shooting chrony have fps and meters in them. Does your chrony have a function button in addition to the on/off switch? If it does have a function button, holding that button down while turning on the unit, should toggle between fps and mps.

[@cheapairgunner1966]

No choice available, just mps. It just has the single on/off button.

[@Backin_Theday]

@@cheapairgunner1966 holding the button down on the Chinese unit for more than 3 seconds turns it off? On the "Chrony" brand the fps/mps is switchable by holding down the function button when turing on.

[@cheapairgunner1966]

Yes. I’m not sure if a series of short presses would lead to different results. I haven’t finished translating the manual yet. Hoping something may be in there.

[@dustinh4175]

It would also be interesting to see if the ten fps difference changes from shooting a 400 fps gun and compare the results compared to a 1000 fps gun.

[@fjqtaxch9]

Who can answer why I sometimes get a reading with a decimal point? Eg 32.2

[@truth409]

I taped mine to the floor.......layed barrel on it.....623fps chaser with rubber o ring on hammer spring.......

[@toddgeddes1129]

👍 Good video What was the number that you used to convert from mps to fps?

[@ozzie444]

I'll answer since the question was asked quite a while ago..... 1.0 m - 3.281 ft.

[@tonystipbits4944]

Theres an app Balstik Caluator converts from mps x pellet weight gives foot per pound.

Does it work indoors under darker lighting?

I know this is an old video but where did you get it? Do you have a link to it? Great review too!

[@cheapairgunner1966]

I apologize but the only place I received this comment was on my KZbin Studio app and there’s no way for me to tell which vid you’re referring to. If you can post another reply mentioning which product is being talked about I can post back up. Thanks.

[@cheapairgunner1966]

I believe I got that from AliExpress, maybe eBay.

[@leojones7266]

Amazon sells them

[@ozzie444]

They're on Amazon. They have different brand names on Amazon but they're all exactly the same. Probably all made at the same factory but sold by different vendors so they gave them the brand name they wanted,

If $30-$40 is your price range I would try Amazon and look for something that has lots of good reviews.
