This may have already been suggested (I didn't see it in the comments), but another (very GOOD) TH-cam channel which reviews airguns (including those with suppressors) gets very good results using the accessory microphone on his LabRadar unit. I suspect it will work well for you with your suppressed .22 problem. AEAC is the TH-cam channel. Enjoyed your video.
You have to shoot far enough for the bullet to be on the "downhill" side of the so-called "trajectory" and get the "impact velocity" to determine "true BC".
@@XRING Not possible mate: the unit is triggered by muzzle blast (or a local accessory for airgun, bow etc). Multiple units would not link together to measure velocity at extended ranges.
So, What is the con side of the unit other than the price? Magneto Speed appears to be a good unit for clocking velocity, have you ever tried the Magneto Speed? I have one the sports model. It is Okay, but I don't like hanging anything on to the barrel and the strap sometimes it will come loose, not good.
Rudolph Ferdinand Great question Rudolph. I have tried the magneto speed units and they are great. Other than what you mentioned they are about all anyone needs. The Labradar is bulky, eats batteries, is sometimes hard to get aligned to the target. The good thing about it is it’s ease of use and you can literally work from the left and right sides of the unit with two different shooters at the same time. It takes a little coordinated effort but makes it quick if you just need some velocities. This unit was given to me by someone that shot my other chronograph and I have been happy with it. Don’t know if I would have spent my money if this were not the situation.
Think one of these would be useable at in indoor range with multiple bays? Maybe in the bay adjacent to the wall, and kind of aim it into the near corner downrange.
Manitou I would “assume” it would be fine. I still use mine all the time and love it but never in an indoor range. The Doppler area seems small enough that you should be able to get it to work.
Good video and very informative...really wish you would have changed your screen saver to a longer setting at least for this videos purposes though but otherwise very well done!!
Anthony Hamilton Thanks Anthony. There have been quite a few software updates and accessories that make this unit better. I need to update the video at some point. Thanks for watching!
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Dennis Connor thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I am no idiot and actually quite tech savvy. I have taken my labradar to the range 3 times now and have NOT been able to get a single shot recorded. I have become very frustrated, tried aiming devises, rifles, handguns... NOTHING!
@@seeley363 Nope. Tried several more times, hours and hour of wasted time. Nothing Perhaps mine works except for the sensor/"mic". I've become so frustrated, actually pissed it has been shelved for 2 years now. Could not return it and it is long out of warranty. Some have great luck, Others experience like issues as mine. I've watched every setup video made, even bought a third party aiming devise. What a waste.
Fluorescent lights "pulse"? Not when they're working correctly unless you're able to see something "pulse" 50-60 times per second. A "regular chronograph" doesn't "see" light. It "sees" SHADOWS when the projectile "blocks" the light. And something like a Shooting Crony will "run" for DAYS on a single 9-volt battery while I'm betting that "superior" radar unit can drain an "auxiliary power source" like that USB "charger" battery pack in an hour or less. Especially having to repeatedly "power up" the screen. There IS no "energy savings" shutting down and powering up electronics like that over and over vs. having the display stay "on" at a lower backlight level. Looks like it powers ALL THE WAY OFF rather than just turning off the backlight so a person could get a little LED "auxiliary light" to be able to read the "dark" display without backlight. What's the deal with only shooting 3-round "strings"? Are those things capable of recording 10-shot strings? If you're not going to shoot 10 rounds you may as well only shoot one.
Hello Deeremeyer1, this was just meant to be a short video review of the LabRadar unit so that people could see how it worked. I am new to the youtube scene ( less than 6 months) and when I started this venture it was to just give quick glimpse of machine guns, equipment, etc. If you have watched any of my other videos you know that I don't give long reviews ( tear down, maintenance, etc). There are other channels that do a great job at doing just that. Most of my videos are very quick and concise, as I do not have a lot of time to devote to making videos. This unit was actually given to me by a guy that borrowed my old school unit and put a bullet through my unit. I appreciated his kind gesture and just wanted to throw some information out there. That is all.

Thank you for continually putting up the best,most concise and fun to watch videos! You sir are THE master-blaster!!
Thank you John. I really appreciate you watching the channel and commenting.
The LabRadar seems like a very nice setup!
I have a Steinert Sensing Systems and need to use it more.
Awesome video!
ebomey Thanks Ebomey !

Jeff Bricmont Thank you Jeff, I appreciate the info.
The review was actually on the “AEAC Vlog” channel, about six months ago. Steve did a comparison of 3 different chronographs. Hope this helps. 🙂
I'm glad your friend replaced your ventilated chrono with this one. I didn't know it worked further down range as well.
Charles McKinley Thanks Charles. He definitely made it right and owned up to the damage
I've heard others say they found great advantage in mounting a red dot (or similar) on top as an "aiming device" for it.
I love my Labradar. The 22 supressed you need the air gun adapter. It's an external microphone....
Gordon Pelto Thanks Gordon! Didn’t know they made one.
Yes Steve over at Aeac vlog just did a review on this and shows the whole kit.
That is a nifty setup, looks very nice and easy to use. Another excellent video brother, keep them coming!
Thanks. I will keep trying.
I’m literally at VOD watching this video trying to format my Lab Radar 😂
Gerat video man ! I started watching others videos on these and you have the best by far (yet again) thanks for putting it out there...
I knew you would appreciate this one! Thanks SoCal
Nice chronograph as you sir have some nice stuff you work with as congrats to you on your hard work...Good stuff...
Scott F. Thanks Scott. Just trying to share the knowledge with everyone.
Good review. I need twenty of these linked together spaced one hundred yards apart.
That would be nice for determining true BC!
You have to shoot far enough for the bullet to be on the "downhill" side of the so-called "trajectory" and get the "impact velocity" to determine "true BC".
You are absolutely correct!
@@XRING Not possible mate: the unit is triggered by muzzle blast (or a local accessory for airgun, bow etc). Multiple units would not link together to measure velocity at extended ranges.
Great vid. How long will the radar wait in between shots? I'm interested as I like the barrel to cool between shots.
One second or less.
Great review, that is pretty neat looking!
Neat and easy to use.
You need to update the firmware and utilize their mobile app, its really nice!
Brian Frazier Thanks Brian. I need to update that video as well.
I have accidentally shot and destroyed 2 Chrony's and wont buy a third one. I just ordered one of these LabRadar units. Cant wait to get it.
PS: suppressors need a recoil sensor or a special mic - as per the docs.
i stand corrected, using a suppressor put it behind the unit 6" behind the trigger, 2 " next to it

@@XRING good stuff
Cool technology!
Yes it is Robin. What a great era in time to be able to experience.
Looks like the bench rest plate has been discontinued. What other options are there to mount the labradar to?
Tripod
Great review!
Thank you .
MK machine makes a sight for the top of it that attaches to the unit.
Thanks D. I will check it out. Thanks for watching.
On the 22 with Suppressor, try the Air Rifle Microphone.
Thanks Rodger.
you may need a Piet trigger/airgun trigger to use with a suppressed .22LR.
Another good video!
Thanks Keith
Very nice chrono
Good video and very informative...really wish you would have changed your screen saver to a longer setting at least for this videos purposes though but otherwise very well done!!
Anthony Hamilton Thanks Anthony. There have been quite a few software updates and accessories that make this unit better. I need to update the video at some point. Thanks for watching!
you got all the cool toys
Thanks Val.
Works like the Golf thangamabobber.
That's right......except this plays well with bullets.
Probably because the velocity list is for rifle!
printed velocity is based on rifle .. pretty much everyone knows you shoot hi velocity 22lr in a pistol, it will drop it to subsonic.
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.

@Dennis Connor it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
@Alan Cairo No problem :)
$600 and the stand necessary to set up and make operational is an option? Shouldn't it just come with stand?
You would think. I think most people set them up on tripods anyway.
@@XRING yeah I get it, but include a tripod then for 600 bucks lol
curtis Long I agree Curtis
@@XRING Good job on the video by the way :)
Mine is in the mail!!!
You will like it.
Wasn’t me. Lol
Dude next time you do a vid with this change the screen saver time. So annoying watching it go black every few seconds. Just a thought
This was when I first started the channel. I learned my lesson.
Just messing around. You have a very informative channel. Keep up the good work your doing
Thank you and have a Happy New Year! I appreciate it.
