Page 4 - FX Radar Pocket Wireless Chronograph Reviews

Works as advertised. Greatly reduces the risk of shooting your chronograph. No fuss to setup. Works in all conditions.

Make the battery compartment a snap on and lose the tiny screw.

Less expensive than chronographs with similar features , but still a steep price. I will see how it holds up.

Product works well and is easy to use, portable and small.

Manual is non existent for the most part. Tried it right on the end of the barrel and it kept skipping shots. Once I learned to move it back 3" or so from the end of the barrel it has worked flawlessly. Things I would change would be the rubber band attachment method. While rubber bands are relatively easy to find, a velcro or plastic "zip" tie system would be much better.

Working well

Nothing

Easy to use. Just strap it on and shoot.

Add straps to hold it to your gun. Nothing comes with it and you need rubber bands or really small straps or tie wire.

Easy to install app and get started.

Easy to use quick set up.

Nothing I would really change, works as discribed.

Compact size, works in any light, Reads out each shot, works on cell phone or ipad, works behind the muzzle not 15 foot in front of it.

Better base if you don't attach it to the barrel, increase maximum FPS to use with high powered rounds

1300 FPS Max. Indoor basement 20ft range 1 fail to read in 60 shots so far. (New to PCP shooting)

Portable, easy to use, and after all the reviews not a highly battery consuming. Is a great purchase out of the box. It will put a smile on you

Probably i add a little carry pouch, or protect mesh. Higher reading velocities, and on the app i will add a weather condition on your shooting day or string, also adding a visual chart will make more sense in a way that numbers wich is already the whole purpose. Instead of a screw to hold the batteries in place maybe a swivel. And last but not least maybe a way to be plugged into an external power source. A bit to much but definitely the can improve the app

You will be happy shooter

Small, light compact package. Much quicker and easier to set up and use than a sky screen chronograph, especially indoors. I like the audio readout. I like the barrel mount.

Doesn't always connect with Bluetooth quickly and frequently looses the connection during a shot string. Sometimes you get through a string uninterrupted, but it's annoying to fire a shot and get no report. I had one really frustrating night and thought it had stopped working. The next day, everything was good. May just be me that I haven't figured out how to work the App, but you can't get FPS and FPE at the same time, even though they have what looks like the option to get both. I don't like having a screw to fasten the battery compartment.

The manual gives very limited information in the form of Youtube videos, and the demonstrations don't match what shows up on my screen. All this adds up to being not a super value for the price.

Light , portable , easy to program with app , love the audible feature , love the shot string and ability to send info to my IPad or IPhone ! No issues whatsoever.

Nothing !

It doesn’t come with bands to wrap around your barrel .

Its lightweight

The battery access. Why have a Phillips head screw access? Thats just asking for the screw to be lost. I wouldve liked to have a simple latch type lock like any tv remote out there

I got this chronograph to connect right out of the box. Unfortunately that was the last time it would connect. What a let down

I like everything, because it is a must to dial in a pcp air rifle from pellets to slugs, or the other way.

none

It is very simple to work, and if you plan on buying a pcp get one you won't regret it, and for the price it's well worth it.

The unit is small and light so it's easy to move around. I have a FX Continuum and I attached it to the 380mm barrel and did not experience any droop from it being on there. When I switched to the 700mm barrel I didn't have confidence that there wouldn't be any droop due to the barrel length. I don't have the insert to put it on a tripod but I was able to use bands to attach to the tripod head. This setup gave me more options to try different distances between the end of the barrel as well as how far it was placed below the barrel. In that setup I had no failures to register the pellet in over 200 shots. I did have a few that didn't register when it was hanging off the bottom of the 380mm barrel. So far the phone app works well but I've found that when I want to start a new string I can't just hit that option. I have to shut the app and restart. That's a bit unhandy but sure not a deal breaker. Overall, I'd buy another if I needed one.

FX, you need to include the attachment for putting the chrono on a tripod head. I want to give it 5 stars for value and while I think it achieves that level the few little issues with how the app runs keep me from giving 5 stars since I think that level of review should be reserved for things that actually have no such issues.

Stay within the limitations set by the manufacturer and you'll be fine.

Only used a short time, but seems to work well

nothing ...I need to use it more to fully check it out

I am using this with my Chrome Book. Works good

Dead easy to set up. Works great, no issues, seems accurate. WAY better than the sky screens I had before.

App kinda sucks, hopefully that will improve in the future. I don't like that you have to reconnect each time you use it. Once connected as a bluetooth device, it should stay as a connected device until I delete it. Also would be nice if there was a way to connect it to a small tripod. I currently have it attached under rifle barrel with zip ties.

Easy to paste data into google docs spreadsheet and you can have it break the data out into separate columns.

Potable easy to use

Even measures how fast a rubber band flys

Portability, ease of setup, accuracy, use with your smart phone

Better packaged instructions. Most phone savvy people can figure it out but some may have problems. Include some sort of protective carry case.

This was the absolute best purchase of a chrono I have ever made. I checked it out on youtube where it got good press and I bought it. It is so much handier than my other chrono's that it's much harder to choose one of them instead of this one. The others I have are great devices but require a great deal of effort to set up and use. This one is a breeze!

Light weight, compact, extremely portable and it announces the results!

Make it rechargeable, it really seems to eat batteries. I would also be nice if it came with a couple velcro straps to attach it to the barrel.

Seems accurate and is a great tool for tuning your air guns.

Very simple to set up and use. I am not an IT guy by any means, so I bought this with some misgivings, wondering will it be difficult to understand and operate? The folks at FX designed this with dolts like me in mind. BTW, it records the entire string of shots for you. Wonderful. Super light and this version (MK II) has the v-shaped add-on, making it simple to attach to the barrel.

Nothing. And it is good value-for-your-money, so if you want a chrono for your air gun, this is the one.

I have owned two other chronos in the past, both cost more and both were more difficult to set up and use. I never used them much. This can accompany me to the range every time, no problem. Set up is 47 seconds, I timed it. And this is the MK II version, which, I am told, incorporates fixes to problems with the first version.

Works on nerf to my rti prophet well. Easy to use software.

Nothing so far

I appreciate the good service I've received.

Conveniently easy to set up compared to other chronographs. I personally wouldnt want anything else. I gave it 4 stars only because it will not operate with out a cell phone connected Im not fan of that as it bugs me a little. Just being honest

Possibly add a display screen to the unit therefor you do not need to rely on your phone, Im not pleased of that feature.

I thinks this unit is probably the best if not one the best available even though I cant figure out how to make the voice automated feature work. But I sincerely fucking hate computer technology more than anything on the planet it really pisses me off I become a bull in a china shop. I havent destroyed it yet though lol
