Which cheap Chinese chronographs work ok?

[averageplinker]

Hi all,

I love my combro but want to have a play with a few pistols I have including testing their velocities. So I am thinking I need a cheap Chinese shoot through job.

Who has one, which is it and how well does it work?

Cheers Rich

I have one. It works OK. Good under florescent lighting, that's why I bought it.
Reads in meters per second.
Think it cost £17 from bang good. If you join you can get a discount and they do promote black Friday deals.
I think it's called a velocity meter.

This one has a tripod. Install the app and get more discount.
My chronograph is designed to clamp on the end of a barrel but I just shoot through it.

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
