	I have a prochrono digital that has given me good performance. Useful for measuring FPE and more importantly for giving me muzzle velocity to use in ballistics apps like the Hawke app. If you have a rangefinder you can estimate pellet drop / holdover required. I haven't had any issues with odd readings etc. Biggest issue is ensuring good lighting with sunlight - already discussed. I have used i indoors close to a sunny window. https://reloadingdirect.co.nz/shop/chronographs/prochrono-paintball/

	I have a chrony, cost me 300 back in the day. I dont trust it at all. I stopped using it after it said my tuned TX200 had a 200fps spread. The same goes for the chrony that alex has, we had some intersting results the last time at the nationals. I just dont have any faith in these as all. They are ok to get a general idea but i wouldnt rely too much on them. My 2 cents anyway!

	Thanks for that but for the extra $80 I think I'll buy a new one with a warranty. Cheers.

	Do you have the listing number as I can't find it? Perhaps it's sold already.

	Yea, the good thing about the FX is that you can punch paper a lot easier while recording speeds. (Allowing for any drop if it's mounted on the barrel) But it was just my preference to keep it as simple as possible. I used to have one of the older style and used LED strip lights over the sensors so I could shoot it in any conditions. This worked fine, but lots of bits and pieces.

	Thanks Pauly. Very well priced for what it can do and if it weren't for the compact size of the FX plus the fact that I can buy it locally, I'd definitely be importing one. The ability to use the FX without having to shoot through it is the deal maker.

	Mine ain't that flash, but it doesn't require anything else like light source, or phone with app. Jusgt turn it on and go. It does record strings and averages. Simple to change pellet weight and it shows pellet speed and energy after each shot. It's been faultless and well worth the money. LMBR Chrony from Poland. You can see the display in my 362 thread.
