My First Attempt at Calculating FPS/FPE

Sorry but I can't imagine what would make you think you can know what I "do not have" when it's literally the same one as in Post #1's link, as I said. I clicked that Amazon link and it says "purchased on xxx xxx date" at the top.

Anyway, here is proof showing my clamp on version. Which says... "Clamp-style" right on it.

Here's a picture of the underside that shows the sensors that capture the light from the 2 bulbs on the bottom. Pretty cool how it works!

And here are the instructions that came with mine in case someone wanted to try some different settings out. I just swap to FPS and don't do anything else. But if you want to there are multiple functions.

Sorry this is sideways:

My apologies! I was not aware that they actually are making a clamp-on 4 digit, FPS (not MPS) model now!

As soon as I can be sure I can get an FPS/4 digit model, I WILL be ordering one! (smile)

If for no other reason than as a backup as the 3 digit/MPS model I have is still working very well.

Again, my apologies for sounding accusatory. I did not mean it like that at all. :rolleyes::)

I'll look for a link to purchase it in this thread. (grin)

P.S.

Just ordered it from this link:

Apologies accepted, BackStop. Sorry I was overly defensive about a $35 chronograph! 🙃

This is the one I ordered last year, and going by it's photos- it does look like it'd only be 3 digit. Hope you get the 4 digit FPS capable model this time!

If I was not sure what I ordered was capable of FPS and has a four digit display, I would not have ordered it.

check the link I posted, taken from a post by Sturckat (or something like that...) and it explicitly says it is capable of FPS and has 4 digits, which means that it will give better accuracy even if left in MPS mode. The model I have now works VERY well, but is limited to MPS with no tenths of a meter.

Otherwise, I would not have ordered it... (smile)

I'll try to compare the new one to the one I have had for about 3 years now and see if they give similar readings. Who knows... but for less than $40, I can't see any disadvantages unless you really want to start splitting hairs and have a LOT more money than I do! (grin)

I received the 4 digit, FPS capable unit recently. It seems to show about 10-15 fps higher than the older 3 digit MPS only unit consistently.

Which one is really accurate is up for debate. In any case, the new 4 digit unit seems to be as consistent as the older 3 digit unit, so I am not going to sweat it in any way shape or form. (grin)

Given this slightly higher fps with the new unit, I will play with ChairGun Pro and see if it makes more sense with what I have experienced over the last 3.5 years. (smile)

To be honest, the older unit seemed to agree with ChairGun when I had everything else correct, however... who knows... (chuckle)
