    Thumbs up

    I have the same meter except mine is reversed with the display on top and a flat plate below with the emitters and a vee block on it.
    Cost me £18 off the bay IIRC.
    Works brilliantly - best value purchase I've made for ages...

    Same as the above commentators really. I've had mine over 12 months with no problem. I have a bullet velocity app on my phone which allows you to use m/s in the equation with grains weight and it gives you the result in ft/lb, so no problem. I sold my Combro off the back of it (and made about £45 on the deal) and although I have a Chrony, I use the Chinese chrono' for ease of use and the fact it mimics the results I get with the Chrony.

    E- 9800 off the bay, cost me £40; not light sensitive and within 3ft/sec to a regulated scan, with 5 different pellet brands. superb

    I bought this one a couple of years ago. It's not great build quality, but it works fine.
    Not affected by ambient light conditions, and no significant difference in readings compared to Scan, Combro, FX dopplers, etc

    To convert the m/s readings I use this kinetic energy calculator
