 Welcome to the Pyramid Insider. I'm Tyler Patner. Today, we're going to be taking a look at a big thing in a very small package. The FX Pocket Chronograph. Announced at EWA 2019 in Germany, the FX Pocket Chronograph is finally here. Very excited about this little guy. Probably my favorite announcement of the 20 new items FX announced at EWA. This thing has a lot of potential at a $200 price point, and that's one of the reasons I'm very excited about it. Now, because I'm very excited about it, you guys need to also be excited about it. Go ahead, click that like button. Subscribe to the channel if you don't already, and comment and let us know what you think about this little unit. Number two, at $200, this guy is very competitive in the market right now. Comes in right around the price of a lot of traditional light bound chronographs that we're used to using here, and also comes in way under many of the other Doppler radar chronographs that are already out there. The big difference here is number three, the size. This thing can fit in your back pocket and is ready to go anywhere you and your cell phone or your smart device are ready to go to. And that brings us to point number four that I really like about this, and that is it is a Bluetooth-enabled device, meaning you're going to connect this to your smartphone or you're going to connect it to your tablet, something like that, either Android or iPhone's fine, and this is going to go anywhere with you and bring those results right to you wherever you're shooting. Now, let's talk a little bit about the Doppler system that this uses. Basically, guys, at its core, this creates a 6-inch high and an 8-inch long kind of window or box, whatever you want to call it, that is bouncing a microwave signal off of it and off of your projectile, so it's going to send out that microwave signal as you go ahead and shoot, and it's going to bounce it off that pellet, and basically the rate of return is what's going to determine your velocity. So first things first, to get the app set up, of course, you're going to have to download it. You head over to the Google Play Store or the App Store for those Apple users out there like myself. You go ahead and download the FX Radar app, very easy to do. Once you hop on the app, it'll give you kind of a quick start guide, and then it's going to give you these options. Now, you can create profiles for your guns if you want to, or we can use these kind of generically set up profiles here. We're going to go out to the range and use an FX Dreamline to start things off, so we're going to go ahead and click on that airgun high power. Now, at the same time, we're going to go ahead and turn on our unit just by holding down that button, and you guys will notice that power button flashes at us. Now, the app will tell you when it's found a device to pair to. You just have to click that connect button to go ahead and connect, and then you're good to go. It's got all of your information kind of heads up on this display here, and all you have to do is head out to the range and go shoot, so that's what we're going to go do. So we're out here at our chronograph station. We're getting ready to do some comparisons. First up, we're going to go ahead and take this FX Dreamline. We're going to go ahead and compare it with the same shots over the FX Chronograph and our normal shooting chrony alpha that we use for all the videos here on the Insider. Then we're going to take a big bore. A lot of you guys may not know that the gas dispelled from a big bore or CO2 gun, for example, can mess with a traditional light bound chronograph. So we're going to see if that's the case here with the FX Chronograph as well, compare those results. And then, because I don't know if it's going to be able to do it, we're going to throw an air bolt into our dragging claw and see if it'll pick that up as well. Here we go. All right, guys. So looking over our results here, we're only a couple feet per second off at most. And obviously, the Dreamline's a very consistent gun being regulated. So I'm going to say that comparison, right? If you get this setup right, the pocket chrony setup right, it is very consistent to a traditional light bound chronograph. Now, one thing we have noticed is the height above the chronograph does certainly play a part in that accuracy. If you do have it a little higher within that six inch range, you're probably going to get slower readings. That's what we've seen. And the distance. So where that muzzle is in relation to the chronograph is very important. You want to make sure that's consistent as you're shooting. You don't want to be moving as you go, all right? So that's really important. Once you get it set up, make sure it stays where it's at and that'll keep it working just fine. But so far, so good and very consistent results between the FX Chrono and a regular one. Now, one thing you'll notice here is that there's a big discrepancy in our first two shots here between our FX Pocket Chrono and our shooting chrony. The reason for that, that muzzle blast is actually contaminating our first sky screen reading. But by moving the gun back a bit, we actually get a true result and that 100 feet per second difference disappears. And for those of you whether you're firing an air bolt and FX Aero gun, any other Aero projecting device, bow, crossbow, or an airsoft gun, just click on that bow airsoft setting and it's going to work just fine for you. Highlighting the major difference here between a standard light bound chronograph and the FX Pocket Chrono, you're watching it run in the dark. This is awesome and exactly what the big advantage is in my mind of this FX Pocket Chrono Graph. Whereas you need to purchase a light kit or have special lighting around for the shooting chrony or a pro chrono, the FX Pocket Chrono Graph runs right out of the box with no extras to purchase. All right, so the FX Pocket Chrono Graph, this thing works very well. I'm actually really impressed with this. I was a little unsure at first. The more I've used it though, the more it has kind of affirmed my sense of its accuracy, especially when you compare it to whatever your standard chronograph of choice is. This thing's going to be pretty darn close and of course there's always some variance between chronographs. I'm very excited to see what FX does with the app in particular because I think it's got a lot of potential application down the road. The potential to have all of your ballistic data in your phone have it set up with a profile to a specific gun set up with the scope height and all that stuff already plugged in to spit out a trajectory profile, kind of like Hawke Chair Gun used to. That is huge. This is going to all come from one place. You can update that ballistic profile in real time while shooting over the chronograph. I think that is huge, epic, awesome. That's really where the future of this lies and I believe that's where FX is going with this. So definitely check out the Pocket Chronograph, whether you're in search of a chronograph or you need something more portable and more user friendly in more circumstances. This is a great opportunity and when you compare it with the cost of a lot of chronographs that are out there, not bad at all.
