An acoustic trigger? Really?
There are 3 trigger options: (1) direct signal detection (default), (2) acoustic, (3) external sensor connected to USB port. You can select whatever suits your needs. Most users will surely stay with default direct signal detection. Option (3) external sensor, is suited for e.g. laboratory (test tunnel) environment or very special setups. The device gives you flexibility to choose.
 
Has the original AndiScan been FCC type approved, or even officially been submitted?
Is the CE certification self declared, or tested by 3rd party?
Distribution from within the US (not shipped direct from the EU) might even be against trade laws.
All this doesn't mean it's not a great device.
Sort of like the Beofeng walkies. Nice to have.

I'm only bringing this up as it is in the Armory section.
Would not be appropriate for me to comment in the vendor section.

What does this do better than the Garmin Xero c1 pro?
  • smaller size, metallic case
  • true V0 measurement with very high precision and short processing (<1s) .. see experiments on YouTube with 4 units measuring the same bullet
  • full remote control and live view over Bluetooth and USB-serial
  • flexible triggering choices - direct signal detection, acoustic, external sensor
  • highly configurable - 10 fully user editable measurement profiles with many adjustable parameters
  • large internal memory for measurements, any stored session can be reloaded for adding/deleting shots, non-volatile memory (can switch off in the middle of the session and then continue)

Nothing unless your use case needs one of the features it has that Garmin doesn't.


Now, if they gave a price in USD and I wouldn't be surprised at random customs taxes I might consider one.
But since they can't figure out how to get a few cases to a US distributor (how hard would it be to get a company like europtic to carry them?) I can't say I'm going to bite on a bunch of features that don't have any effect on my usage.
