Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

Got my tracking from Pew Pew Solutions today. Hopefully will be here early next week!
Actually I found that on my iphone, I can change the name of the saved file when I am exporting it.
However that being said, it was very tedious to export. After that experience, I am going to give the utility written by ZenEffect a shot.
You are correct. But if you have already renamed the session, Garmin should at least export the new name of the session. They could easily include the new name as another line in the csv file.
Along with the weight of the projectile...
Here is mine in it's case with tripod, extra battery pack and charging cables.
Anyone else's C1 now picking up other people's shots since the last update?
Never has mine done this even once before today. However while shooting pistol today I was watching it "analyze shot" between my rounds. His were a higher FPS, and my round count was off.
Every piece of equipment gets a pass first time something like this happens. I just really hope it's a one off.

Could you estimate muzzle position relative to the C1 , and distance to adjacent shooter?
This thing does have a wide pick up angle, which makes it easy to aim but some have mentioned it picks up their shots almost a yard from their muzzle.

He was to my right, 90 degrees, I would say 10-15 Feet away. Outdoors 40's and pretty dark/overcast.
Yes, that's what mine used to do. I didn't pay it much mind till I noticed the shot count/FPS variable.
If anyone has those Trijicon plastic boxes laying around from their RMR - that might be a good fit?
Here is a pic of my Garmin in one of my Trijicon RMR (or SRO) boxes. Fits perfectly.
Anyone know how to "rename' the Garmin in the Garmin ShotView app? I often am using 2 of these during load development and would love to name them something other than their numeric names....
1800 Weatherproof Protective Case, Small, Black
Amazing deals on this 1800 Weatherproof Protective Case Small at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

Rename them in Garmin Express desktop software and the name will carry over to ShotView
Received mine today too. Worth the wait in my opinion.
I got mine a few weeks ago and love it. Especially useful when a few buddies need MV and now I dont have to spend an hour strapping and re-strapping it on ppls rifles. Can also do load development without worrying about the Magnetospeed changing my POI.
Has anyone notice a difference in speed when the Garmin isn’t lined up with the direction of the barrel? If I shoot at about a 7 degree angle above the Garmin it shows about 25fps difference in velocity and the velocities are all over the place.
You are pointing the barrel 7 degrees off the direction of the Garmin?
The Cosine of 7 degrees is 0.992, 0.8% error built in.
Your velocities are probably around 3000fps?
The bullet needs to travel in the beam and in the direction of the radar beam, at least for a few yards or the Doppler shift measured won't be stable enough for a good reading.

Doesn't the unit display alignment instructions?
it does, just an observation that if it’s not aligned right you will get erratic numbers

Orders small form factor chrono that biggest benefit is being small, compact and transportable and proceeds to put into a case bigger than a Labradar...................Pelican 1200. The Garmin is so small, there’s almost too much room in this little case.
Interesting dilema; I got the Garmin Xero C1 from FedX about an hour ago from PPS. Problem is this; I originally ordered a Garmin in Oct 2023; PPS cancelled my order and refunded my money. I bought a Unit from CS Tactical and got in in a couple of weeks.
Fast forward to today and this shows up, my CC hasn't been charged so I try to get ahold of PPS; can't find a phone number. I did email and they responded with a RMA label.
I think I'll keep this and give it to my other brother and have PPS just charge my CC and avoid having to ship the thing back.
I have a clear conscience either way. Could have kept it and not said anything.

Goddamn, you’d think they were carrying around a fucking Fabergé egg or a hard drive full of irreplaceable porn instead of a cheap electronic device.
I got it now. What about a case, in a case, in a case? Matryoshka Doll protect that shit.
While researching the Xero and waiting for it to restock, I was set on getting a Pelican case and an Arca side mount. But the more I thought about it, I didn't see the harm of testing out a cheap Amazon zippered semi rigid case and using just the tripod.
It's been 2 months and 6 range trips and I haven't had a single scratch on the Xero and it fits perfectly next to my Kestrel in my range ruck sack.
The tripod is so easy to deploy and align that I never used the Arca rail mount.
There my be unique situations where a hard case and the rail mount could be useful but for me, a beginner reloader and occasional PRS/NRL Hunter shooter, i didn't end up using/needing either.
Try the $11 Amazon semi rigid zippered case and the tripod before upgrading accessories, it just might save you some $ but more importantly weight and space.
YMMY, happy shooting.
