Got mine from Poland over £200 absolutely love it , its really accurate within 1 fps comparing with pyramid air gun app in any light condition recommended!
Coming to this discussion late, but watched this vid' recently when looking for something to replace my Combro and bought the LMBR. Simple to use and not expensive. I'm very pleased with it so thanks for the steer.
I've had a R2A for a few weeks now and it's fantastic, you forgot the tripod connection under the unit, I have mine on a table top tripod so I can adjust the height it stands for more comfortable testing. Great bit of kit and it just works. Good quick review Steve and to the point ;-)
@@airgunology indeed Steve, it couldn't have been much to have incorporated averages, mins, Max's, std Devs etc into the app. Suppose they just wanted to get it out there quick. At the moment I just cut and paste the shot string into a spreadsheet to calc the info. I'm sure version 2 of the app will have all that we want, and maybe a ballistics app.
At least it is an app update which is easy. Unlike bios of hardware updates. Fingers crossed they do it soon, as a programmer, they have all the data and it is not difficult.
Hi Steve have you ever tried the skan That’s what I use and it’s a cracking piece of kit Some say it’s what the police use But about £100 dearer than the lmbr
The opening statement of 11.57 feet per second? That's one under powered rifle. Luckily we all know what you mean buddy. But as said below try a skan, best money can buy
Steve, would be very interesting to fire a pellet through the combro (I have a blueshot lead linked to my mobile app and it's very good imo) LMBR & the FX as this can be done at the same time. Then check all the readings. Not sure if you still have a combro but you can borrow mine with the blueshot lead if you can get an FX too and see what the outcome is.
Eh..... A year ago I would have said that this is a good value and worth looking at. However, since then FX has introduced it's new radar unit which is not only small (no worries about scopes or hitting the damn thing), lighter and cheaper, but has far more functionality capable of recording many more shots and transferring them to your phone or computer with no cables. Good review, as usual, but not timely enough IMO.
@@airgunology Got the FX chrono on Wednesday this week and sent it back on Friday! Just didn't work anything like it should, kept missing shots even though the gun was in exactly the same place! Also the last 10 shots recorded were different to what was shown on the main display, was always 0.2 fpe different. The app is really poor too, not at all intuitive and felt unfinished. May try again when the chrono and app have been thoroughly tested!
Hi all I can honestly say that the new FX chronograph is rubbish. My channel partner and I are sending it back and getting the LMBR. The FX chrony is so inconsistent in the results because you have to have it in the perfect place every shot. Otherwise you get erratic readouts with a huge difference in the previous shot. It's awful. Also how do you know when it's in the perfect position. You take a shot hoping your in the correct position then cock the rifle moving the barrel slightly and get different readings. A load of s***! (Sorry). Save your time and money and don't bother. All the best...
@@NateGunner74 Seen exactly the same on all led type chronos even those that are IR like CED M2 and Caldwell. Depends what light is fed to the things, worst Combro followed by the slanted front Polish thing. Bought a Polish LMBR pretty good in the few days had it 4 years ago inside and out, a customer shot it.
Hi Steve, I’m confused by your Red Wolf. Are you shooting a left handed gun from your right shoulder in this video or is that how they’re designed. It looks like you’re cocking the action with your left hand which appears to be the opposite of what I do on my hw110.
I am right handed and moved the cocking lever to the left side. It means I can cock the rifle and still keep the rifle stable in the shoulder as the left hand is only a supporting hand. Brilliant for range work and quick firing without moving position
Hi Chris, could you confirm exactly where you managed to buy this model please as most online retailers are out of stock and more expensive than the price you paid. TIA
According to my calculations ( and I've had a few cans btw ) I've worked out that " big red " is kicking out ( there about ) 0.00247 ftlb .. get it back too daystate for a refund .. 11.5 t per second ..LOL That's with a 8.44 grn pellet
Hi Steve, Thanks again for the reviews. This looks very similar to the Air Crony MK3. Are they the same packaged differently or different manufacturers?
Nice review as always stive.!! Yes good to have one Law and all that.. have the one that sits on barrel C4 type good to check from time to time even if its just to make sure everything is OK Cool video s my friend fx one is out I think now but not sure on price for that one though
As with every chrono you must be square. If not then then due to the angle you are shooting at slightly longer distances between the sensors. Only the ones on barrels eliminate this.
Very accurate and the manual tells you the distance to place the barrel from the chrono. I would trust this over the FX chrono that will give different answers depending on where you place it.
When it is switched on I get 8 blocks of pixels. No amount of button pressing seems to get it to work so it went back to Blackpool Air Guns and they have sent it back to Poland. At least it had the good grace to break in the first year!
Hi Steve. Is there a minimum distance you need to have the muzzle from the LMBR.I am thinking about buying one, to chrono my air rifles in my garage. Regards Mark
it wont blow the other to pieces .. some chrony.s are confused by smoke ! even dieseling airguns give error readings on older models .. this is about the best to date .. but itl last for tiiiiime
@@airgunology yes theyre solid .. most others have issues with firearms because smoke causes error readings the lmbrs dont suffer with the problem . i have one of the first .. its great and gets used almost daily , these things are solid .i totally agree
Nice bit of kit ... Already got 2 chrono's though ... Ain't too fussed about going over the legal limit at the moment , just as the government haven't delivered my ( democratic ) decision too leave Europe ... It makes my piss boil ....
Nice little chronograph, but this guy Steve at Airgunology that made this video looks like he just escaped from an insane asylum, or was smoking crack or both! My God his face looks like he is in such pain! Maybe he is just constipated, but his eyes look like he is about to start screaming any second! 😆😂
@@airgunology hey Steve thanks for being such a good sport, actually I really love your videos and I've been watching them all these years especially the ones with little Tony Belas... just having fun with you my friend please keep up the wonderful work you do. If I hit the lottery I'm going to send you a pile of money to support your Channel and a ior valdada scope
So you mess up with the very first line in the video , sorry but I'm away to watch someone who has at least a vague idea what he's waffling about .... !

Yes i did, sorry, so much and wanted to keep video concise. Thanks for pointing it out.
You’re right this one of the best cronies you can get got one earlier in the year and I’ve never looked back
Love mine
Just got my FX chrono and I'm impressed. Once they get the App all singing and dancing it'll be defo the one to get.
1st version teething issues then ?

Thanks buddy, please share

Some say it’s what the police use
But about £100 dearer than the lmbr
Nope, way too expensive for me and out of the reach for most people. Apparently it is the best out there and hence why the plod use it
The opening statement of 11.57 feet per second? That's one under powered rifle. Luckily we all know what you mean buddy. But as said below try a skan, best money can buy
hahahahahahha, yup ooopsie :)
@@airgunology D'oh!!!! Lol!!!
Blackpool air rifles...£150...delivered....cracking vid allen...👍
Appreciated Steve.
Hei Steve. you did not mention that it has 220V power supply . I have one of these and I love it. Because you can put it on a tripod as well
Yes I forgot to mate about the 220v and I also forgot the tripod screw. Wanted to keep the video short.
220v. Not good, too low for the UK.
Steve, would be very interesting to fire a pellet through the combro (I have a blueshot lead linked to my mobile app and it's very good imo) LMBR & the FX as this can be done at the same time. Then check all the readings. Not sure if you still have a combro but you can borrow mine with the blueshot lead if you can get an FX too and see what the outcome is.
That would be interesting to try out.
Hello Steve, wich one you prefer?
This one or the FX chrono attached to the barrel of the rifle?
Great review. Ordered.
Nice
Eh..... A year ago I would have said that this is a good value and worth looking at. However, since then FX has introduced it's new radar unit which is not only small (no worries about scopes or hitting the damn thing), lighter and cheaper, but has far more functionality capable of recording many more shots and transferring them to your phone or computer with no cables.
Good review, as usual, but not timely enough IMO.
I would agree once the FX unit is fixed in terms of it's badly written and buggy app code. I will get one soon for review.

Hi Steve, can you tell me what Bipod that is, love the colour.
Thanks for the review. I’ve just bought one. 88 quid from a Polish shop, which seems much cheaper than the UK
Nice one, enjoy
@@airgunology They’ve updated the buttons on the front of the unit. I don’t know if they were a problem before, but they seem ok.
Hi Chris, could you confirm exactly where you managed to buy this model please as most online retailers are out of stock and more expensive than the price you paid. TIA
@@richdickwalker it was from a store in Poland:militarni.sklep.pl/?s=Chrono
Thanks 👍 much appreciated

That's with a 8.44 grn pellet
No, trust me it is kicking 11.5 - 11.6 in .177 :) It actually says so on screen.
@@airgunology
Steve ... I were joking ...
At the beginning of the vid , you stated the gun was shooting 11.5 feet per second ... But everyone knows what you meant
Ah got ya mate, a bit slow :) The joys of single take filming :)
I noticed that too lol🤣😂🤣
Hi Steve, Thanks again for the reviews. This looks very similar to the Air Crony MK3. Are they the same packaged differently or different manufacturers?
Chrony was a copy some years back but far better marketed since 2015.
Original skan ar chrono
It's almost 9 years old
The best chrono there is
Yes and expensive, but if you can get a good cheap Skan, definitely better than the LMBR
haha for catapults
Got 2 HR4 theyre ok, the newer ones from 1998 onwards are pants, rarely read a shot in any light.
Nice review as always stive.!!
Yes good to have one
Law and all that.. have the one that sits on barrel C4 type good to check from time to time even if its just to make sure everything is OK
Cool video s my friend fx one is out I think now but not sure on price for that one though
Thanks buddy, will try and get the FX one for review
@@airgunology
Cool thanks so much for the review s
Very good but I have noticed you must be square on to it every shot or you will get inaccurate readings
As with every chrono you must be square. If not then then due to the angle you are shooting at slightly longer distances between the sensors. Only the ones on barrels eliminate this.
hi nice vid ive just got mine how accurate are these as i have the fx radar and between both theres like 40fps lower on fx one which do i believe
Very accurate and the manual tells you the distance to place the barrel from the chrono. I would trust this over the FX chrono that will give different answers depending on where you place it.
Steve Allan great thanks i see alot of people using this at around 1ft away but manual says 1.2m does it really matter
@@theyorkshirelad. As with all chrono's. Yes it does matter to get the most accurate results.
best product worldwide
Mine is back in Poland being fixed.
That is a shame, what went wrong with it ?
When it is switched on I get 8 blocks of pixels. No amount of button pressing seems to get it to work so it went back to Blackpool Air Guns and they have sent it back to Poland. At least it had the good grace to break in the first year!
Hi Steve. Is there a minimum distance you need to have the muzzle from the LMBR.I am thinking about buying one, to chrono my air rifles in my garage. Regards Mark
Recommended about an inch away
@@airgunology thanks.
@@airgunology Bought the LMBR now. Very pleased with it.
for that price i would rather the new fx one
Not tried one yet as it has only just come out. I have heard some not so good reports already on the FX one like NO AVERAGE !!!!!
Err,, dont think so. the FX needs messing about placement with the barrel to be accurate, this just works straight off. easy!
Watched a few videos on the FX unit. Misses almost as many shots as it registers. Much better with a real gate system every time.
it wont blow the other to pieces .. some chrony.s are confused by smoke ! even dieseling airguns give error readings on older models .. this is about the best to date .. but itl last for tiiiiime
This chrono is very simple and easy to use. No light issues and less risk of shooting it due to the size / design.
@@airgunology yes theyre solid .. most others have issues with firearms because smoke causes error readings the lmbrs dont suffer with the problem . i have one of the first .. its great and gets used almost daily , these things are solid .i totally agree
Can the LMBR software work on an apple computer ?
Can you please tell me where can I purchase the chronograph
Steve, J S Ramsbottom have them at £145 on line.
Yup seen and will try and get one for review
£167 on there now.
@@jimjordam 149.99 , just ordered
Sweet, let us know how you get on with it, will be several weeks before I get my mitts on one to play with.
@@bellshooter Sorry, think we talking about different chrony lol, me lmbr , you FX
what about the new fx chrono
Reviews done, please check my channel
UNFORTUNATELY THE AFTER SALE SERVICE OF THE LMBR COMPANY IS DISAPPOINTING THE PRODUCT IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE THE COMPANY DOESN'T REDEEM.
Nice bit of kit ... Already got 2 chrono's though ... Ain't too fussed about going over the legal limit at the moment , just as the government haven't delivered my ( democratic ) decision too leave Europe ... It makes my piss boil ....
Lol :)
typical brit with austin powers teeth. good video. i am considering getting this one based on this review.
11.57 ft/sec???
Very good review steve,but can you stop waving stuff about; makes me dizzy.
Me too, hehehehehehe
At the start of the video did this devise register a speed of 11.57 fps ? That gun or the graph must be a real piece of crap! 😂
11.57 feet per second are the first words out of your mouth, mate get it together.
Yeah I can run quicker than that lol
lol, never even noticed, the fun of doing my style of one take videos :)
No its not Steve, you need to do a review on the FX, is much better.
lol, i just new this comment would appear. This was filmed before the FX one was even available for sale :) Will try and get one soon.
@@airgunology still a good video, thanks.
hehehehehe, no worries dude :)
