If at a local range, this would be great just for the fact of not having to wait or hold people up by walking past firing line for setup.
I went with the Magnetospeed and couldn't be happier. Perhaps I'll get a Labradar someday, but it will likely be a Gen 2 or 3 when they have the bugs worked out. I'd be disappointed if I ended up with a Gen 1 Magnetospeed after all the improvements and this Labradar will be the same way. I'm still very interested in how well it works though.
Hope your employee is getting better, thanks for the update I'm waiting!Update from labradar:
Since many of you saw our product at Shot Show 2014 we have made some changes to enhance the users experience.
- We have added the ability for the user to input the projectile weight so the Kinetic Energy is automatically calculated at the distances you preselect.
- Added Power Factor Calculations for the IPSC, USPSA Shooters.
- Added a removable SD card port for easy download of data to a PC. You can also download via USB cable.
- Five downrange velocities are reported in user selected distances in increments of one (yards, meters, etc).
LabRadar will become available in Fall 2014. While we had planned on an earlier release, one of the key personnel became critically ill during the final stages of development and was unable to work for over three months. Fortunately he is recovering and is back to work on a limited basis. We thank you for your patience and support. We will continue to update you when firm delivery date is established.
This remarkable device will be worth the wait.
Best regards,

Super accurate and easy set up. For the money, it is worth it, but for the money, I will wait for someone else to buy serial #0000001. I would like to see someone put it next to the Oehler 35P. If those numbers are right, it should be more accurate than the Oehler.
I am so sick of lugging my CED M2 to the range. Setup is a huge hassle. I have shot the screens before. I was considering a Magnetospeed, but I like this one better. Like Ledzep, I can't get over the idea of strapping something to my barrel during load development.
FWIW Regarding chronographs (optical, acoustic and magnetic), Bryan Litz's new book, Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting has a section dedicated to chronograph testing and comparison. Its VERY revealing about traditional chronographs and the latest technology in velocity tracking. I would highly recommend anyone interested in purchasing a chrono purchase/read his book (AppliedBallisticsllc.com) prior to spending money on certain chronographs without understanding the limitations on certain models. I am hoping Bryan and his team get the chance to test the MyLab shortly after they are released.
Stang, I'd love to share the results but beacuse Bryan and the team at Applied Ballistics put a TON of work into their books, And because I know Bryan, I don't want to give away their proprietary work for free.
Rather than any specific results, I'll simply say "in general, you get what you pay for."
It really is worth the price of admission though and I'm eagerly awaiting volume 2 in Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting.
Matt,
It should work fine with most suppressed weapons using factory velocity ammunition. We have not yet tested it yet with subsonic so I cannot be sure it will “trigger” the radar on the sound of the muzzle blast. We should have the answer to your question in about 30 days if you want to check back with us.
Best regards,
Richard

I tried that and they had all sorts of hoops and lasts to go through to become a dealer. That was when they first spewed this at SHOT. Pretty say product though. Good luck!I applied for a dealership with them, if it goes thru I'll work on a group buy for the Hide.
I can respect that
I just bought his first book and their new iOS app, which was $80 together....so I can't put anymore into the Litz fund right now, but I'm sure I will soon enough...
Bryan's book (Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting Volume 1) shows the most accurate and consistent chronograph was the MagnetoSpeed V2 or V3 version by a mile over the classic chronograph models. No contest! With the MagnetoSpeed so good in most conditions, the Labrador will need to be well proven and bug free, if they expect me to pay over $400 for it.I would love to buy this book, but I cannot get the 3 book bundle shipped to me in Europe, and shipping from AB LLC costs more that the books, which I just have trouble taking on the chin...

dbooksta - that is what Kindle, Nook, and other "readers" are suppose to be all about. But that assumes that the publisher supports that tech. AB has "articles" for Kindle and Nook but none of their major "texts". I have the full collection including the DVD. I'm a couple chapters into the latest.
farmerbrown - AB is showing a German source for their books - bottom of the latest book page - Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting: Volume I

Alright when is this damn chronograph going to be released???
Probably not until they a) get it to work reliably; b) get any and all patent issues resolved; c) find the funding to make production possible.
I used to work for a company that would make grandiose presentations of "new" equipment at trade shows then never put them in production. They would measure the ACTUAL market available to them with feedback from the shows, figure out how much they would have to charge based on estimated production levels, and more times than not just put this new "whiz-bang" back on the shelf. Some were "shelved" because they found someone else had one or more patents already filed that would require them to pay royalties (if the patent holder would even allow production).
Who knows when, or even if, we'll ever see this chronograph on the market. I'm going to wait for it to hit the shelves before I get all excited over it.
My other issue, I don't want to stand in front of a radar that can read bullet speed at 100 yards any more than I want to get inside the body scanner at the airport.
So is this all smoke and mirrors or what? Caldwell came out with a new cheap chrono that plugs into your phone that I'm considering for pistol loads to supplement my V2. Was kind of waiting on this but it looks like I might be waiting a lot longer.
