This is my third chronograph. The other two are the "shoot over light sensor" types. All three compare favorably in the ft/sec results. I like the FX because it can be set up quickly, performs interesting math calculations (via a smartphone), doesn't require a tripod, and poses no danger of being accidentally shot like my other two. Some have commented on short battery life. That doesn't concern me because my use of the chronograph will be to perform a few quick tests and then turn it off. So far it has been 100% reliable.
Best Used for:
- what it is designed for, measuring the velocity of projectile.
Would recommend: Yes

Small, compact, light. It is so simple to use, no time consuming setup, no unpacking or assembly required. Works anywhere in any lighting conditions. I use it with my IPhone. It pairs quickly and easily with the app, records the date and time, records the velocity of each shot and records the time between shots. The app take some getting used to because it is not well documented. The 1/4-20 threaded tripod mount was not included with mine and I don't konw how to obtain one. I have only seen them offered in the UK (England). The FX website is not very helpful either. They have some nice videos explaining how to get started and some basic instructions. It is a bit more expensive than other options but the ease of use makes it worthwhile to me.
Pros:
- Ease of use
- Compact Size
- solid construction
- Free FX Radar app
Cons:
- lack of instructional material
- requires a smart phone
Would recommend: Yes

I like the small size doesn’t take up a lot of space can put right in gun case to take to range. Not to hard to set up and use ,it doesn’t weigh enough that you have to worry about pulling barrel down. It will fail to record a shot now and then but it’s not that often,changing screens sometimes gets tricky but with all the features especially the voice telling you fps so far has been worth it.

I took a chance buying this based on personal and professional reviews. After i received it I took the FX Chronograph to the range to select pellets for my 54 AirKing Pro. All I can say is wow. The device is user friendly, and provides all the data you need to find out which pellot your gun wants other than accuracy. The device works with my phone via an FX app. The device talks to me as it records data through my phone. The app is easy to use and provides a data bade of data on pellet performance. All in all a good investment.
Pros:
- Great Air Rifle Chronograph
Cons:
- I wish it would work with powder burners.
Would recommend: Yes

Went with a much cheaper version and as expected nothing but error after error and having to refill my air rifle to try and get a max velocity on a topped off fill. Since switching to FX not one missed shot!

I love that I can aim anywhere on the field and get an accurate reading. I can go from target to target without having to readjust my old Caldwell chrono graph OR have to worry about having enough light. The radar has proven to be very accurate. It does miss about 1 out of 100 shots with my .22 but I can accept that.
Would recommend: Yes

This product is easy to operate, convenient, offers the ability to save, send the recorded information via its cell phone app and send it by email. However, its program does currently allow for editing the information for accurate shot average by removing flyers. Also, it often freezes for no apparent reason.
Pros:
- Useful tool, convenient, easy to operate.
Cons:
- Unable to edit shot information, freezes often.
Would recommend: Yes

The FX pocket chronograph turned out to be one of the best purchases I've made. It truly helped me with the ballistics of my air rifles, I would highly recommend this product to airgunners. The more knowledge you have the better you become
Pros:
- The small size gives big results
Would recommend: Yes

Great take anywhere small chronograph. APP does need some bugs fixed but over all the chronograph does what it should do. Material of product for the price could’ve been better as well some barrel mounting straps would’ve been nice instead one has to use rubber bands to mount. If one can get past these small things overall the chronograph is very handy and portable.
Pros:
- Very easy to use
- Small
- Portability, adjustability, ease of setup
Cons:
- Product material for the price
- No barrel mounting straps inc
Best Used for:
- Velocity check of pellets
Would recommend: Yes

The item comes without any instructions. Seems everything has to run off the app. Takes some time to set up the app, but works well afterwards. I think it's fairly accurate so far. I can't confirm it though.
