I am tired of dealing with the Chrony Alpha Master. I am on my second one. I returned the first for bizarre readings and now the second is giving false readings and is just too sensitive to light and the Sun.
I live in SW Florida and the Sun is always blasting away at the range. The range is also mostly sand so there is a lot of reflection. I have tried taping cardboard to shade the sensors, moved the unit into partial shade from the shooting bay, tried early in the day, late in the day etc etc, Moved it close, moved it further away etc. I have had it!
It's a PITA to use and set up and then get meaningless data.
I like having the chronograph guts or main unit attached by a cable sitting at the bench.
So what brand and model actually works out in full Sun and has the readout detached from the unit? I do not want one that you have to hook into a laptop. So any unit that can be recommended based on first hand experience with them?
Pact Pro XP?
Pact Model 1 Xp?
CED M2 ?
Any others also considered.
Thanks!
