[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1392094, member: 4191"] One more comment on the operational inconvenience if the LabRadar. It's a major PITA to leave the prone position to be able to reach the "arm" button in order to arm the unit to record the next bullet fired. The company says they're coming out with a Bluetooth app that will enable the operator to arm/operate the unit remotely from a smartphone or laptop. Having to leave my prepared shooting position to reach the "arm" button and then getting repositioned to shoot is such a huge inconvenience that I cannot recommend this unit, until remote arming is available. Based on some Forum scuttlebutt I researched and read on the release of a Bluetooth app, it's been in the about to be released status for months and months now. My advice: Wait until the bluetooth app is available before tying up your purchase funds in the LabRadar. It's borderline dysfunctional if you're going to be shooting prone. Plan on bringing along a "[I][B]really[/B][/I] good" and patient buddy to twiddle his thumbs until you need him to arm the unit. Rant off... Seriously, I'd have waited to purchase the LabRadar had I foreseen the magnitude of disruptive effort involved with arming the unit. [/QUOTE]
