Who makes a good chronograph?

I use a Pro Chronograph Digital, it seems to do the job.
I have the serial interface that i run to a small netbook to save the results in a excel file rather than writing them down.
It holds a lot of results.
It also suffers from the same issues as most Chronies with having the right sort of light for correct sensing and operation.
I made up a LED light strip for use indoors that attaches to the diffusers.
You can get a Bluetooth module for it that will allow you to log data to your phone/tablet as well (although finding one in Australia seems a bit of a challenge - at least for a price I want to pay.)

Can you share with us what you did. I tried a couple of different lights and I'm not impressed. - Thanks

When using LED lights mount them on top of the chronys diffusers not under them. Also us narrow light strips not wide ones. Many LED lights use multiple LED's each one is a point source light. The pellet can pass between two lights and give an error reading The diffuser spreads the light out so you get a more even shadow over the sensors with no gaps. Also when indoors its best to not have any other lights over head which can confuse the sensors. Fluorescent lights flicker and will cause problems as well. I hope I explained this well enough.

What 30Cal said is on the money.
I just used the cheap chinese 5m roll of LED strip encapsulated in a clear rubbery resin, I think it has a sticky backing but didn't use this.
Connected it up to the appropriate voltage plug pack that i had lying around in my store room.
Voila!
