Saw this and wanted to cross reference this here for anyone like me that is getting their first fx pocket chrono, is looking for a way to mount it and has access to a 3d printer:

I watched a video by “aim straight” in which he reviewed the fx chrony - he’d bought it himself. The video is a few years old, but he advocated for setting the chrony up off the gun and shooting with the muzzle an inch ahead of it. We have a phone holder on a tripod and for extra security i added a rubber band. I shot my 97K this way and it picked up every shot in this set-up. I kept it within a few inches of the gun and had pointed the chrony at the target.

A great value - $50 for a radar that a Luddite like myself could set up!

Jumped on the band wagon, Just used it & it worked great. I attached to my moderator using zip ties. Picked up all my shots.
Great deal for $50.

I bought one a while ago. I took an empty pellet tin lid, turned it upside down and set a .5" diameter magnet in the center. The magnet in the chrono itself now attaches via those two magnets attracted to one another. The tin lid works great as a base and is easily removed for better storage.
