Things I liked:

Small Form Factor, Lightweight, Doppler isn't light sensitive... App support with multiple profiles

Things I would have changed:

Make it work more than 3 times...? Robustness, better calibration/hardware flashing options.

What others should know:

Bought this instead of a normal stand chrono... Only 3 uses and it no longer reads. Tried everything from new batteries to Reinstalling the app. JUNK

    Things I liked:

    Compact, easy to use, recorded results.

    Things I would have changed:

    More detailed instructions.

    What others should know:

    I shoot a Hatsan AT44-10 QE that is regulated. The suppressor sticks well out from the end on the air tank. When I attach the FX to the tank, it’s too far from the muzzle and doesn’t sense shots. When I attach the FX to the suppressor, I get readings but also harmonic induced inaccuracies. The answer is: for each pellet type and significant condition (ambient temperature?) attach the FX to the suppressor and shoot for muzzle velocity readings for ballistic calculations and DOPE. Then remove the FX and shoot. It’s a study in progress.

    Things I liked:

    Very easy to use. Once everything is set up with the app, it works pretty good. A few missed shots here and there, but not many. App makes it easy to store shot strings and compair ammo, etc.

    Things I would have changed:

    Better mount system. App could be so much better with just a few changes.

    What others should know:

    Its a great chronograph for the money. It is expensive, but ease of use and an app to store instant info, makes it a great investment. Best tool I have to dial in my airguns. Would definately buy it again.

    Things I liked:

    In spite of using a rubber band to attach it to my air rifle I am still giving this thing 5 Stars. I had TWO Caldwell Ballistic Chronographs and their software didn't work to use with my phone. THIS DOES WORK exactly as advertised. I recommend this. It is much smaller, easier to set up and store and it works!

    Things I would have changed:

    I would have preferred USB charging capability and a way to secure to my rifle but the rubber band works fine for air rifle and .22 LR.

    What others should know:

    it uses 3 AAA batteries in about ONE DAY of prolonged use. The shot strings are really long and all the data you want (at the muzzle) is tracked, calced and stored. Software works and is easy to navigate.

    Things I liked:

    Easy set up, no problems pairing it with my iPhone 13 promax with the latest iOS. Audio read out of the velocity, the app lets you store the particulars of your palate and computes energy.

    Things I would have changed:

    A better system to mount it under a barrel. When I mounted it on my Air Venturi Avenger Bullpup it seemed to be a little bit tilted one way or the other and even though the barrel is shrouded putting rubber bands around the shroud to hold the chronograph seem to throw my groups off a little bit. So I simply put it under the muzzle on the table. A rechargeable battery would be nice.

    What others should know:

    I guess I'll put it on a mini tripod below the muzzle for future use and lesson until FX comes out with a better mounting system. It didn't reliably record below my M 17 when I attached it with its rubber band and mount. Uses three AAA batteries, I use non-rechargeable lithium cells that I can get on Amazon.

    Things I liked:

    Easy to use and very handy. I can create a quick profile to each rifle I have and use it as a baseline for future reference of the rifle. performance.

    Things I would have changed:

    Batteries. I prefer a rechargable battery using USB connection.

    What others should know:

    Watch the short tutorial in the Web of how to use the unit so you maximize the utilization of the device.

    Things I liked:

    The size is right. Small and the unit works well. Nice to have!

    Things I would have changed:

    There should be a small flexible Tri-Pod included with the chronograph.

    What others should know:

    So far everything I have ordered from Pyramyd Air have been of good quality. I have not had to send any item back. I would definitely recommend others to shop here. Delivery was faster than I had expected!

    Things I liked:

    Nice small chronograph, very easy set up either on your phone, tablet or the FX Chronograph display which I use attached to my FX Impact M3, works well and seems to be very accurate, you can attach to your gun or put on the table.

    Things I would have changed:

    It would be nice if it was a little cheaper, but being its "FX" it's priced a little high in my opinion, also for 200.00 it would be nice for fx to include an additional 1/4-20 mounting option, I had to buy one from the U.K. for 8.99 but after shipping it cost 30.00 so I could mount it to my Arca Swiss rail, looks cool mounted on my gun that way.

    What others should know:

    Only option for mounting is to attach to the barrel with rubber bands or sit it on the table, if you want to mount to a tripod or gun you will need to find and purchase a different plate for the bottom

    Things I liked:

    Works great, no problems

    Things I would have changed:

    Would be nice to have other options other than a ruberband around the barrel, like a way to attach it to a tripod.

    What others should know:

    Seems expensive. But I don't know maybe that's how much the technology costs to build it.

    Things I liked:

    So easy. Load up the app on your phone. Connect with the device. Hang it on your barrel with a rubber band. Each shot gets a verbal call of the fps and logged in the app. Also, if you tell the app about your ammo. It logs the ft lbs

    Things I would have changed:

    I think the company should provide a velcro wrap that secures their unit. It's not a great look for such a good product. Product manager should be ashamed. Deserves a better product look.

    What others should know:

    Worth the money.

    Things I liked:

    This is absolutely one of the best... Things you can buy When starting out with an air gun... I have tested it against my Lab radar... And there was 2 or 3 feet per sec Difference ... Fit and finish is amazing and the software works awesome too......

    Things I would have changed:

    I would include the camera mount in as well for people that do not want to mount it to the barrel

    What others should know:

    I think that I should receive a.. Camera mount base for this.... It should have been included with my order but it wasn't... Let me know if this is a possibility

    Things I liked:

    Everything!! You don't need to put the fx chronograph on the end of the muzzle less you want to.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not necessary to have a tripod screw mount. However it would have been nice.

    What others should know:

    Works perfect had it up and running in 5 min. very accurate. I'm using my iphone 7. Love how easy the set up menu is. Powerful aid for people that like to tune you airgun or build up guns like myself. you will learn real fast what mods work and how much. Love the fact that it's not light sensitive like my old chrony is. I will keep my old around for testing airguns faster then 1,099 F.P.S. I can't say enough how much I enjoy this product. Highly recommend the FX Radar Chrony. Get one you will not regret it!

    Things I liked:

    Easy setup, worked for every shot. Love the voice calling out the power. Such a convenient, small but powerful tool!

    Things I would have changed:

    Might add a way to attach it to the end of the barrel for those that want that. I used mine without attaching it.

    What others should know:

    Be sure you have selected the right choice whether rifle or pistol for calculating fps, etc. If you select the wrong one it won't read the fps at all. I believe this is why some have said it doesn't work all the time. Its easy to forget to change it. This has worked absolutely flawlessly for me. Fantastic tool!!

    Things I would change the little tiny screw on the back of the plate that holds the battery in two small the screw And paper direction should come with it for the price that were paying

    Things I liked:

    It's compact, light and does not take up much space.

    Things I would have changed:

    It needs to be re designed so it reads consistently. Some shots, mainly the first and second shot do not get counted or no readout. The programming is to little to vague when trying to input caliber, bullet weight etc. I would think if company puts that much time into writing a program it would do a bang out job to help the shooter get as much data as possible. I am not impressed with this item because of the inconsistencies or what shot it counts. Thats why I purchased it to get accurate information.

    What others should know:

    If your purchasing this just to find out FPS it's an okay item. I have watched on YouTube other individuals have the same issues with this item. It's not just one person having this issue with this item. It is everyone who purchased it. Before you purchase this item educate yourself on this item to.see if its worth wasting your momey.
