Anyone using LabRadar? opinions?
There are a few threads on the radar already.
But fair to say there isint a better chrony on the market.

Seems you are correct just reading up on them but still value your knowledge and feed back, cheers
Easy to setup and use. Every shot and string can be saved and viewed in excel by way of an Sd card.
Accurate with readings out to 100 m and allowing you to decipher a realistic BC and drop.
No chance of shooting it unless your special.[emoji16]
Accessories that compliment it perfectly.
Best chrony I have used with pistols and gives Power Factor.
Runs off 6AAs or a power pack.

You will want a great supply of good AAs if you are going to use it for any length of time :)
Used mine a fair bit and it’s like everyone else says. Set up is quick and easy particularly if you use something to sight through the v that is on the top to align it. I switched to using a power bank pretty quickly as I found myself focusing on remaining battery power too much and it allowed me to have it on longer delays without pissing around pressing buttons. You’ll also have instant mates who want to rent it for beer.
Plug a power pack in they go for ages, as in multiple bomb ups at range without needing a recharge
Just imported one of these folding bases for mine.
Stays attached to the unit, fold up and fit inside the bag when stored.

Cheers duckdog:thumbsup:
I've not managed to have the Labradar pick up on every shot because it is quite difficult to aim at the target. I tried the dodge that is recommended on the internet of using a tube placed on the 'v' on top of the Labradar to sight on the target. This works fine up to 50yds but is not accurate by 100yds. I'm sure that some entrepreneur in NZ will make a suitable 'snap-on' base to attach some sort of accurate sight onto, e.g., an old scope. Someone in the USA does a 3D printer version of a 'snap-on' base but the postage cost for stuff from the USA makes the eyes water. I'd buy one is someone in NZ was able to set up the process (I don't have a 3D printer). The good stuff: it is easy to operate, even without reading the instructions too closely. It is expensive but that can be justified by amortizing the cost over the next 10 years. The colour is blatant, so obvious and not likely to get bumped onto the ground. I can't speak to the accuracy because I don't have a particularly accurate 'other' chronograph to compare it to but other shooters tell me of local experiments in which the Labradar was proven to be very accurate.
I just line up the sight provided.
Sight it slightly higher and right of the target.
Try to have an unimpeded line to the target. (No mounds or scrub)
You're essentially shooting thru a cone. I do the majority of my load testing at 200m and have no issues.
The only times mine has not read to 100m is when testing pistol ammo.

Got a link to the 3d printer file?
Found a couple on thingyverse.
R93: thanks for that. I'll try your suggestion the next time at the range. Niblet: check this web address: LabRadar sighting improvements? - Page 2

Something like this work?
Yes Niblet, that may work very well.

4hr10mins. Made of carbon fiber ABS. Came out alright. If there's a few people after some I'll send them back to NZ
All good.
It won't be much, maybe $20 odd to cover @BRADS time and shipping (if he doesn't mind, I'll probably get an ear full for volunteering him for another job haha) and my filament, screw and some of my postage. Be probably two weeks ish before I have a package going to him though.
Sweet, I'll make 10 as that's all that will fit on the bed and will take 40hours to print.
Also please feel free to follow that link to thingiverse and tip the two designers as they did all the work designing it which takes ages. Well it does if your're me, took me half a day just to draw some manfrotto mount plates for my cameras.
Edit: I don't have a labradar so no promises they'll work though.......
Thanks Nibblet, add me on to the list please.
I haven't forgot about these, will have them NZ bound during the week some time.

Once they're in brads hands will sort payment/ shipping etc
Wow, good job. Wish I could drive one of those machines. I’ll take one too please if there’s one available.
And if there are still any available, put me down for one too.
If there is any left can I please grab one?
Yup that's what I'm using.
They're precise, some of the prints are accurate to less than 0.1mm.
This block is meant to be 40mm

My apologies guys, I've been super useless as of late. Could rattle off some excuses but I'm just lazy and hate going to the post office.
However, they're on route to @BRADS so if you're still keen can you please PM him with your address etc so he can sort out payment and do one trip to the post office.
Cheers, and sorry for the delay.
@muzr257 @Kiwi Greg @duckdog @rupert @Plinky @quentin @HUNTY
It’s us that should be thanking you, so thanks for taking the time to print them and sending them. I’ll pm brads.
Hey guys sorry for the delay been busy these where all posted today, you should see them next week
Cheers
