I just ordered one of these:
US Chargeable Ballistic Chronograph High Accuracy Arrow Velocity Meter Measure
Off of eBay, amazon has them also. Has anybody played with one of them and any feed back on them?

I bought one a while back and use it on the regular. I especially like it for quick routine checks.
Pros
1. Agrees well with my ProChrono. Either it’s accurate or they are both wrong together.
2. Has its own infrared light source. Works in any lighting and even in the dark. No fussy or time-consuming setup.
3. Never misses a reading. Never ever. That alone makes it worth the price of admission if you’ve ever waited hours to check the speed of the first shot, only to have the chronograph fail to get it.
Cons
1. Meter resolution with no decimal place…meaning roughly 3fps resolution.
2. Stores only 40 shots.
3. No means to electronically retrieve the string.

Apexpredator look here:
https: //www.amazon.com/aikeec-Precision-Ballistic-Chronograph-Chargeable/dp/B0823M5M6M
35 $ on Amazon vs $28 on eBay here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Chargeable-Ballistic-Chronograph-High-Accuracy-Arrow-Velocity-Meter-Measure/383642319690?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
bandg that is meters per second which in feet per second (what pellet guns are normally measured in) would be 3-3300 fps, which covers most of the pellet guns I shoot.

If you want to spend twice as much, but it has more capabilities look at these:
ACETECH AC5000
or the
ACETECH AC6000
both on eBay or Amazon, cheaper on eBay.

I have 2 of them. One that clamps on as pictured and one that mounts to a tripod. Both appear to be accurate and consistent. Even if they are off by a few FPS I’m looking for consistency. Small enough to carry in my shooting box. For under $30 what more is there to ask.

Ordered a couple to try myself. As stated above, if they work at all then the size and price seems to be excellent.

From specs, up to just over 3000 fps. Dont see why it couldn't work but many CF will exceed it's range.

No I don't think it will blow apart, a 22 Long rifle at approximately 1200fps or a 30-30 at 2300fps, but probably not a 223 at 3200fps.
If you are shooting smaller grain bullets at higher speeds it probably won't record correctly.
It won't blow apart unless you shoot it, as I and others have done with chronographs, a little bit of attention lost while setting a dial or something and you have to order a new sunshade for the one you just clipped with a bullet.

Odoyle, I am not sure why you put the calculator up on your post, to inform others reading this post how to find out the conversion?
1-999 m/s equals 3 -3,277 f/s (rounded off) (basically multiply m/s x 3 to come up with f/s.
Thanks for the link.
