Chrony Tripods?

Re: Chrony Tripods?

Are you asking because you are contemplating getting a tripod for your Chronograph? What caliber are you shooting?

If you are, it helps to get the sturdiest one you can. Typically, you have about 8-10 feet of cable from your display to your chrony, minus one foot for the length of the chrony, about another three foot for the length of the bench, and you have a distance of about 5-6 feet from your muzzle.

It may not matter if you are shooting .22's, but with large caliber firearms, the blast may tip over a top heavy chronograph. Also, if you are shooting outdoors, you should also consider that there may be crosswinds that blow on your top heavy chronograph/tripod.

I bought a cheap telescopic tripod from chinamart for $14, it folds down to 12" long and works fine for a chrony. Its actually smaller than the chrony and makes my range bag have more room for bullets
