Does anyone here own and use the LabRadar setup? If you do, does it work with iOS in 2023?
Yes, and Yes.
Before the Labradar, I had a ProChrono DLX and bought the separate add on Bluetooth module. Their app has matured pretty well. My son now has this.
Labradar’s first attempt at an app was a do-over, but their latest works better and is usable.
Both can export data. You have to with the ProChrono, but the Labradar also has an SD capability that will capture the info and you can use that to transfer data if you so desire.
I find it easier to setup the Labradar than the ProChrono, but both can be done fairly quickly. Since I shoot individual targets for each test load while gathering data I would have to make sure I aligned the “V” shaped portion of the ProChrono sensors correctly which took the majority of the time. With the Labradar you need to make sure it’s “focused” on the target since its radar beam is quite tight.
A 10 or 20 yard pistol target wasn’t too much trouble, but the 100 or 200 yard rifle targets was a bit more of a problem for the ProChono setup.
I had more questionable readings with the ProChrono than the Labradar, but in both cases I recommend firing a small group of known factory ammo as a test group first to make sure the setup gathers valid data.
If you get the ProChono, I’d also recommend a boo-boo plate, so you don’t have to post “I shot my chrono” when the next “I shot my chrono” thread starts. It’s only a matter of time.
With the most recent Labradar app, and firmware updates, I still occasionally, but not often get a Bluetooth disconnect for some unknown reason. Since I have an SD card in it, the app will reconnect without any issue, and transfer all applicable data. It can happen with iPhone or iPad.
Having used both, I would let you have my ProChrono, but not the Labradar.
