    Descent value.

    The chronograph seems to get accurate readings. There’s no way to know for sure I think, but its readings line up well with other information. It has a rough way of attaching the steel rods to the main unit, but it works just fine. It comes with a bag to put the prices in which works well and is small. Gives m/s and ft/s info. For batteries, the unit takes one 9v and is plugged in roughly. It has a free hanging appendage inside the battery compartment that you plug the 9v into. I had to bend an end of that to fit Duracell 9 volts in there, but it worked. The unit also seems to overheat in direct sunlight, because after leaving it there in the sun, it would turn off and wouldn’t turn back on until I put it inside to cool down. otherwise, it works fine. This graph is for less serious people. For the price, it’s a good deal.

  • Top critical review

    You get what you pay for.

    I wanted a cheap chronograph and that's what I got. Complete plastic construction but can attach to your phone and be used with a free download app. All is neat other then it only reads about 75% of the time. It's my only complaint, but a pretty strong complaint as I do alot of air gun shooting and testing.

  • Un chrono qui fait son bien le job

    le chrono fonctionne très bien pour le tir à l'air comprimé cal. 4.5mm et se fixe sur trépied. Consommation électrique tout à fait correcte. J'ai installé un projecteur halogène 100W au dessus, et cela fonctionne par tous les temps en intérieur. Je n'ai pas testé d'autres types de tir (armes à feu, arc,...) Juste un problème, la transmission des data avec le câble jack audio fourni ne fonctionne pas avec mon smartphone samsung xcover3, j'ai été obligé d'acheter un câble USB. Par contre, cette transmission fonctionne très bien avec les 2 samsung d'un ami: "grand prime" et "S3 mini". Le logiciel "chronograph" est à télécharger sur play store. logiciel succinct mais qui remplit son office: enregistrer des séries de tirs. Le colis est arrivé ouvert (par la douane qui au passage a pris 37€ de taxes, pas prévues dans le prix).

  • The chrono is awesome

    I needed a chrono because I build custom air rifles and pistols. It's imperative to test each one and be able to back the weapon up with accurate data. Especially with the expense involved. The Caldwell performs flawlessly. Also being able to pair it with my iPad orviphone is fantastic. The unit I bought paid for itself basically the 1st time I used it to test a custom rifle I built for a gentleman in the UK. It comes with a nice case and the app is free from the Apple Store. The only complaint I have is not buying one sooner.

  • Mine works OK

    I have shot both rifle and pistol ammo through it as well as hunting arrows,,,,the chrony works well but because arrows bend or flex as they leave the bow, sometimes one of the electric eyes will miss it resulting in ERROR on the read out screen,,,this is not the fault of the unit but because the arrow doesnt fly straight and therefor may not pass evenly over both electronic eyes,,,,the chronograph is OK for the money and comes in a nice cloth storage bag,,,I would recommend it as a basic unit without the frills of a more expensive model

  • It does what I need

    This chronograph is light weight so it can be mounted on almost any tripod. I use mine on a video camera tripod. Since I very seldom change powder or bullets, I was looking for something inexpensive this was exactly what I wanted. Easy to set up, compact, and easy to use. A good value.

  • For the price im happy with it but you'll have to add a led light kit or make some like i did

    It kept reading error until i rigged up some led lights on it now it reads every time ..you do have to set it about 10 yards away for the big magnum cartridges tho 😆 because the muzzle blast was almost knocking it off the tripods at 10 feet it would read error .but for under 100 bucks it works good enough for me .on a bright sunny day you don't need the lights but i shoot in the evening close to sunset when its cooler or early morning and i had to add some leds to get it to read

  • Works perfectly after a difficult setup of the app.

    I have read others' reviews that say that it's difficult to set up a connection to a cell phone. This is partially true because it goes against logic. DO NOT try to connect the chronograph via bluetooth; it won't work. After downloading the app to your phone -- I have a Samsung -- simply connect the chronograph via the furnished wire to the phone and enable -> everything <- in the app's settings. Once you're connected the chronograph performs perfectly and gives you an excellent report of your shooting session. It's a great tool to learn about your guns and your ability to shoot them.

  • Best bang for the buck

    If you just need a chroni, this is it. Simple to use with the addition of one 9 volt battery and a tripod . Setting it up may require a little patience to get shot to target alignment. I do have some shots that don't register for some reason.

  • Caldwell ballistic chronograph

    Bought this chronograph beceuse of its ability to download shot data right to your smart phone and it's accuracy is much closer than other units. So far it's working great! I would rate this unit as a good buy.
