[QUOTE="Roninco, post: 1913730, member: 114195"] I get reliable results from my LabRadar when placing the side 8" from the barrel (make the adjustment in the settings menu) and the muzzle brake about a foot in front of the unit. How far in front depends on the blast direction of the brake. Non-brake muzzles are nearly inline with the side of the unit. I have run the LabRadar and Magnetospeed together and find the speeds within 10 FPS of one another. The slight difference may be the LabRadar offset. Small calibers will read to a maximum of 50 yards while larger calibers may read to 100 yards. LabRadar will not read shotgun pellet velocity (too many pellets and the wad) but may read a shotgun slug. The Magnetospeed will record a shotgun shell velocity with the proper setting adjustments. The iPhone app was not worth the effort. I did not have the LabRadar rebooting problem but would regularly loose the Bluetooth connection. I have not used any of the external triggers. I did add the sight from MK Machining. Aiming the device is more reliable at distances beyond 300 yards. I highly recommend the external battery pack. It will last several long periods of use. Batteries will last a few short range sessions but they will die when you are trying to eek out a few more shots. I made my own labels for some of the buttons. It helped when using it the first few months. [/QUOTE]
