Pretty cool piece of kit! Would be interested to see how accurate it is compared to traditional chrono’s

Early days. The last device, when released, was claimed to be a Labradar killer, and it now has a new name is on verion 4.

Seems to be a mass selling of 2nd Hand Labradars now that this has hit the market. I’m looking forward to replacing my LabRadar with one of these

Fx would be my choice but super expensive. Been on the market a while and there doesn't seem to be any adverse reviews.

The Garmin phone app looks quite nice. Far better than the POS Labradar one.

I’m really hoping the technology is there for this to be the labradar replacement but only time will tell in the next few months. Just seems so much more practical in every aspect and user friendly

Hi @zimmer
I was interested in the FX product. What pricing have you seen advertised on these ? Any NZ suppliers or do they need sourcing from overseas ?

@30.06king have seen it for US$999. Interestingly Opticsplanet say it is discontinued. I find that hard to believe but Opticplanet is a bit of a wonky company.
Bullet Seeker runs just north of a grand US.
Availabilty will be the issue with both the Fx and the Garmin.
I like the Fx as a company as they have been making chronographs for a while now.

@zimmer
Thankyou. Interesting info. I have seen online comment the Garmin recently dropped pricing to USD $599.00
Available in USA either direct or from dealers. Also, so far online positive reviews so far of the Garmin.
As you say demand fir both currently is high but apparently Garmin at least is accelerating production to keep pace.
To me Garmin pricing looks attractive for the inbuilt features and compact unit size.
Thinking about it .....

Going to US next week but not sure how to find it. Online shipment available 5 - 8 weeks and I won't stay there that long. I reckon this is not a restricted item?

Yeah not a restricted item. Bring one back for me!

It will be launched in Australia and New Zealand soon. Local pricing will be on par with the USD conversion rate. Support your local dealer.

It is not restricted in the traditional sense, but has not launched yet as the government compliance documents have not been processed.
Its like bringing in a non-compliant UHF radio. They may take it off you at the border.

Stock will be a little patchy while production ramps up. But should be solid before too long.

Saw a back to back of one with a labradar. Was inside 5-10fps measured every shot. Seems like it's a much better trigger/tracking system also

Should be here soonish, I have back ordered some for myself & customers, no problem to supply them when they show up RRP is $1299
