Quad Pod and a trigger, set rifle on mat or bench under labradar never miss a shot!

This works and no worries of having blocks or anything for muzzle blast. I never miss recording a shot now.

Quad Pods work great too.. Unfortunately Ryan is not making them any more. He gave out the design, but you would have to have a 3 D printer to make one.. Or be a good welder... I wish someone would have picked it up from him and really ran with the design.. Apparently Lab Radar wasn't interested..

A fella by the name of Terry Dines makes the "ultra Pod" its machined aluminum. I paid 130$ for it. They're nice but expensive, like all these toys.

Well, there you go... Too bad the price is that high.. Looks very well built...
There's another option for people.. Thanks for the update Highdrum.

FYSA, because of the inverted u-shape bench at my range, I ended up drilling an additional for the offset mounting option.

Also, if you're looking at protecting your investment, I go this at Harbor Freight ...

I used mine for quite a while mounted to a piece of plywood without a ball mount . the big problem is the labradar unit gets pounded by the blast of the muzzle brake . I used a cement block to protect the labradar . it was a big PITA the saw horse gets the labradar up out of the blast , assuming you have a side discharge brake . I put the saw horse over the front of the scope for braked rifles , and out over the muzzle for rifles without a brake . I'd guess the trigger kit the guys have mentioned would allow the labradar to be placed over the front of the scope for any rifle .

I run my Labradar up closer about even with the objective of the scope, on a mini tripod. I have fired thousands of shots with many different cartridges including 28 Nos, 300 WM, 338 Lapua, & 416 Rigby all with side discharge brakes without any problems. I'm sure the sawhorse works well, but the mini tripod works well and is very compact- fits in my hardcase right next to the Labradar.

Not compact but portable ...

... mine stays in my truck underneath the back seat storage section.

If you are referring to Ryan Cheney's quad pod, the unit is $45 + shipping. It does not include the adapter and the legs. I contacted him before, and they were out, and it's what prompted my own as shown by @jimbires, the total cost to build is $40.

Yep, that was it. Thanks.

I need a good tripod for my Labradar chrono. Read bad things about the Labradar tripod and was wondering if anyone was using a tripod that works well. Any other tips or tricks would also be helpful as I just recieved it as a Christmas present. Thanks!

I use a sturdy spotting scope tri pod. Works good

@FEENIX , Ed is the guy that figured this out . it is by far the best , most economical set up I've seen . it works just dandy . cost about $40 for sawhorse and ball mount . for prone this is the best way to go .

That's very creative. I like That set up.

Hey guys I found a phone that works very well with my labRadar. I've had it out at the range the last three sessions and it has worked flawlessly with my set up. "SO FAR"
AT&T Samsung S7
And here's a link to a robust 3d printed, sighting device that is sturdy and really works. It also fits in the Labradar case with out having to be removed.

Also I, haven't had any issues with the Large and small tri pods that I bought from Buymylabradar.com.. They are very sturdy and haven't caused any scary issues.
