Taking Pre-Orders - Amazing New LabRadar Doppler Radar Chronograph

[LenBackus]

LabRadar is finally coming! Production is under way! We will be receiving one of the first units from the initial run for testing and evaluation in March. And we expect our first big shipment in early May. Place a Pre-Order today at the LRH Store to make sure you get one.

For more information and to place a Pre-Order - CLICK HERE.

Labradar is the simplest, most accurate system available for measuring bullet velocity. Simply place the unit near the shooter and turn it on!

LabRadar is not actually a chronograph at all, but rather an extremely accurate Doppler Radar. Doppler Radar has been used by defense agencies and ballistic laboratories for many years for research and development of all sorts of projectiles, but the units were bulky and extremely expensive. The manufacturer of LabRadar has been an industry leader in Doppler Radar for over 20 years and is proud to offer the same outstanding technology in a compact, affordable and easy to use package.

Choose "Pre-Order" as payment method at checkout and we will contact you for payment when the units are in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does LabRadar work?
LabRadar velocity measurements are based on Continuous Wave Doppler Radar and advanced Digital Signal Processing Technologies.

Is it Safe to use?
Yes, LabRadar was designed for compliance with the United States FCC Regulations and CE requirements.

How accurate is it?
LabRadar has an accuracy of better than 0.1%.

Will it work in the hot, cold, cloudy, sunny, shade or changing light conditions, rain, indoors, outdoors?
Yes, unlike most light sensing chronographs LabRadar is not affected by these environmental conditions.

If you’re not in the center of the radar beam is the accuracy diminished?
No.

Does it work on batteries?
Yes. LabRadar uses 6 AA type batteries. It can also be powered from an external USB power pack.

What range performance can one expect with LabRadar?
In general LabRadar will typically measure the velocity of a 7.62 mm projectile from muzzle up to 100 yards. After extensive testing of a variety of calibers you can expect to obtain velocities at these distances *. .177 Pellet - 30 yards; .177 BB - 30 yards; 22 LR - 60 yards; 223 - 60 yards; 270 - 70 yards; 308 - 80 to 100 yards; 9mm - 130 yards; 40 S&W - 130 yards; 45 ACP - 130 yards; 500 S&W - 130 yards; 12 gauge Slug - 90 yards; Paint Ball - 50 yards; Arrows - 50 yards; * Since every bullet has a different profile your results may vary. In general, the larger the base (excluding the boat tail) the great the distance the projectile can be acquired.

What is the Warranty period?
One year from date of purchase.

What data does LabRadar provide?
LabRadar provides minimum/maximum velocities, extreme spread, average velocity and standard deviation of a shot series. Velocities are constantly tracked and recorded at various distances along the flight path. The user will be able to define the distances he would like the velocities displayed. You will also be able to download all the shot and series data to a CSV file.

How reliable is the LabRadar?
Infinition, the company that created and manufactures the LabRadar has been designing and manufacturing high end instrumentation radars for more than a decade. Infinition’s high end radars are used daily by professionals at various Research Centers, Ballistic Laboratories and Proving Grounds around the world. The LabRadar has been built from the same technology inside Infinition’s high end radars and brings that technology in the hands of the shooters and hunters, providing an accurate and reliable way to measure the velocity of various projectiles.

Can the LabRadar be used with bow and crossbow?
Yes, it can measure velocity on a wide range of different projectiles. An adapter will be needed on the bow to communicate with LabRadar. This adapter will communicate with the radar unit via the built in bluetooth. The adapter will trigger the radar in the same way as the muzzle blast triggers it. This adapter is in final development and will be available soon.

Can the LabRadar be shipped out of the USA?
The standard LabRadar can be shipped to Canada and Australia. A slightly less powerful version can be exported to other countries. The less powerful version will track the bullet out to 50-80 yards rather than the 100 yards of the standard unit. For those who only want to record muzzle velocity, this is a non-issue. Please email store@longrangehunting.com to place an order to ship to a country other than USA, Canada, Australia.

On another forum thread or topic I saw a question (which I can't seem to find again) about "what happens when more than one LabRadar user is on the firing line? Will my own LabRadar unit be triggered by my neighbor's firing?".

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE LABRADAR USERS ON THE FIRING LINE?

In the Youtube video below, there is a demonstration of the various "settings" for the unit. Two of the settings relate to handling this situation.

1) Trigger Level (sensitivity)

2) Transmit Channel (frequency)

My understanding from the video is that you would set both appropriately and the Transmit Channel is probably most important.

Our May delivery batch is sold out. New orders will ship in July.

So, any one actually have one?

You,guys actually sold out of these? Where are they? By now the hype built up users would be posting there own reviews on some forum or another and I've yet to see the first consumer mention one or using one?

 

[Bob L.]

No, they only reached their limit of pre-orders for shipment in May. I was one who pre-ordered and was recently notified that the May shipment was delayed until July. Very few have actually been shipped to anyone and those who received them seem to have been afforded special consideration.

That's the whole issue here, the "afforded special consideration". Who are they and where are they? One would think by now that something would had surfaced on the internet about consumer use of these units in the field. Not just a select special group that got demo units to play with and report on.

My thinking is these are not in production yet, they are still gathering pre orders to see if there's justification on producing the units. I may be off base and wrong but my gut says unless they get a certain number of sales they may never come to light.

++++what he said!!!

My guess is that they know the demand/interest is there but from speaking over the phone with labradar, the company that is supposed to manufacture/design these units is in Canada and apparently not the most reliable or they are putting all their resources into another project. The interest is there and it would be nice if a U.S. Company could jump on board and put something comparable out into the market. The main problems with chronographs is the inconvenience of setup or strapping to your barrel and possibly affecting the way the rifle shoots. If those two things can be remedied we would be on to something.

 

[Bob L.]

There clearly is a production problem, which I am beginning to believe will not be solved. The units which have been shipped are probably only prototypes.
