Ruler measurement, not caliperCan anyone measure the length and diameter of the folded up original tripod?
I'm guessing 4.25" and 1.25" but checking to see if it would fit in a Evergreen 56.
Thanks in advance.
4.125" x 1.25"

Some washers under it till I get it milled yes. My friend uses the btc pro clamp with hisRRS QD clamp?
Awesome keep us posted about the pelican case you are gonna use to carry it safely.
Before we get banned for taking the thread off topic, I have an in with Raytheon so maybe I'll just go with the AN/TPY-2. Not sure if the Tundra could tow it though.You're in luck. You can get your Weibel with a built in case. Makes the Pelican crowd look poor, which they are.

If anyone wanted to see how it does vs a Labradar in situations where another shooter is super close to you I covered that in my video review! Been super impressed with this thing.
Perfect fitment and not much wasted space. What case please?Before we get banned for taking the thread off topic, I have an in with Raytheon so maybe I'll just go with the AN/TPY-2. Not sure if the Tundra could tow it though.
FedEx is still showing my Garmin's delivery as tomorrow. Repeat of a previous pic to stay somewhat on topic.
Only put it on that ball head tripod to the screens could lineup in the video at the same height. I’ll be mounting my Xero to my diving board or using the oem tripod unless at a match where the zero line is in tall grass.Good video review and impact test. Seems the unit is durable.
So it begs the question: why even get a ball head when the Xero is so easy to set up (does not have to be exactly lined up) and the added weight and height of the ball head makes it more tippy? It'd be quicker to just pick up the entire thing and adjust anyways.
YMMV, happy shooting
Pelican 1040 Micro Case. My 419 arm for the Garmin also will fit in the case, but the clamp has to be removed.Perfect fitment and not much wasted space. What case please?
Thanks.
What type of things down range are you looking to test against?I am also patiently waiting for my Xero to be delivered however I‘d love to hear from someone that had already the chance to test it in a cluttered, RF reflective down range environment…I gave my LR a very last chance last week and it performed miserably as usual.

Totally unnecessary but whatever. View attachment 8260675

In an 1120 the tripod without the ball head fits. With the ball head attached nope.How does everything fit in the case?
I think Labradar is from Quebec. The response you got is not a surprise to any English Canadian.I reached out to Labradar a couple of years ago and not that I am anything special, but I had a really good opportunity/reason to ask for an industry deal, meaning, my use case was going to put it in front of a lot of eyeballs...special eyeballs. They wouldn't budge a cent. There is only two companies ever in over 13 years that were that way. I wasn't mad, it's their prerogative, but it seemed pretty short sighted to me, long term, especially since I most certainly would still have paid well over their landed cost with a discount. Additionally, they most assuredly would have sold many more due to the opportunity. I simply went another direction. They positioned themselves as if no one else was ever going to come along, thought they had the market locked and have been caught sleeping. I hope they can pivot and come back from this because I do always root for the small business. NEVER stop innovating, because someone is already bench-marking you.
As far Garmin, I am actually a huge fan. For a publicly traded company, they have their shit together. Garmin's watches are the defacto standard for smart/fitness pieces, their depth finders are as well for marine applications, not to mention their standing in the world of GPS. Quite honestly, I feel like they are becoming a data-mining company and have the ability to have a gigantic market cap. They also have incredible, responsive customer service and if you provide feedback on a feature (like I have on their dive watches/computers) they actually integrate it.
The other company, I won't name, but same deal..and guess what, I buy their stuff at full retail, bc, well, it's the best...for now.
They will most definitely loose customers and fan base. Garmin made the comment sales exceeded their expectations. We have a lot of gear whore's on this site. I'm one of them, that said most people will see the easy to use platform vs the one that is not as easy especially for public range use. LR just lost a lot of market share.I’m sure LR isn’t worried. They have their fan base that won’t look at anything else and would buy another one if their’s would break tomorrow. OMG your Xero is slower by 5 fps. It’s inaccurate.
Glad I ordered the 57! Good to see it still fits. I'll prob run my xero vertically, so I can fit a nodal rail in beside the tripod when I get one.View attachment 8260812
I had to make it work. The 56 is just a smidge too small. The lid will close but I have to squeeze it shut. For the purpose of transport and protection it’ll do. It’s not pretty though.
NoSo, the biggest and probably one of the most important questions I have, does this thing come with a Garmin sticker?
Thank you for this data, this is what I came here for (it took 26 pages of "eBay has them for $2k" and "mine gets here tomorrow" to find you).Played around with the Garmin at the range today. Wanted to see how it'd do compared to my LabRadar, how it'd do with pistol, lever action, etc. Overall, extremely impressed. It didn't miss a shot all day, and didn't pick up any shots from neighboring shooters either. Way easier to aim than the LabRadar, basically just point it somewhere down range and it'll pick up your shots. Towards the end I was just walking down the firing line and holding it in my hand next to people's rifles, and it was picking up their shots. Pretty remarkable.
We compared the Garmin side by side with 3 different labradars, a magneto speed, and a bullet seeker. Pretty much every shot, the Garmin was within 5 FPS of the other device. It was pretty reliably 5 FPS different every time, none of the devices were an exact match. Didn't bother comparing averages or ES/SD as I was mostly just messing around.
One of the labradars seemed to be affected by the Garmin though. It would not pick up shots when the Garmin was armed. Disarmed the Garmin and the LabRadar would start picking up shots again. Re-arm the Garmin and the LR woukd stop again. Tried 4 different frequencies on that LR and oddly enough it eventually started working just fine back on its original frequency. Was pretty odd. The other two LRs were fine. The Garmin worked fine regardless of the LR, so it was a one-way street.
Pistol and lever action (pistol caliber) were no problem at all. I started out with the chrono on a bench about ~20" or so below the pistol shooting straight over it, no problem. Then moved side to side couple feet, fired to the left side of the bay and to the right.. it picked up every shot just fine. You do have to wait for it to register the shot, so 1 round per 1-2 seconds is about as fast as you can go. But if you just mag dump over the top of it, it'll still pick up shots when it resets between readings. Oh and it had no problem picking up rimfire either.
Nothing scientific or statistically significant here, but I thought some people may be interested anyway and thought I'd share.
Yes, he has haters. He is basically the 6.5 Creedmoor of gun tubers. But he's a national champion, so it's probably good to listen to what he has to say but you see a lot of folks hanging onto every word he says.Are there really people who hate him? I don't know much about him, but I've seen several references to people hating him, but no explanations as to why?
No way to get the orange thing working in any environment. If you can actually capture a few shots a range session, count yourself lucky.View attachment 8260676
No way to get the orange thing working decently in this environment. Usually picking up 1 out of 7-8 shots.
Just when you make plans to be home for the delivery today, you get an update that the unit is delayed and still in Kansas. At least I'll get it sometime this week.Can’t
Can’t, it’s restricted by bass pro

You’re gonna love this thing… It crushes the lab radar.
Literally fixes the issues I had with the lab radar and makes this completely completely practical to use.
I had previously sold my LR, because it wasn’t very useful to me, and a magneto speed, as much as I don’t love them, worked all the time
Awesome thank you!Yes, you can configure the main screen to show what you like.
Is this actually still available anywhere? I just found out about it and it looks like stock has been obliterated. Seems I'm a bit late to the party.
They are available if you keep your eyes peeled. Don’t get FOMO as the young kids say and pay more than MSRP. That’s straight retarded.Is this actually still available anywhere? I just found out about it and it looks like stock has been obliterated. Seems I'm a bit late to the party.
Ha, also just got my shipping notice from my returned (defective) unit from Garmin. Considering Garmin said it would be December before they received warranty stock, I could be Xero rich by the weekend. Hopefully I can get out to the ranges and do some testing. /flex slightly offGot the same delay delivery notice this morning as well
