Bought one and love it. Works well. A Friend added the light kit and uses all the time! Very convenient to document tunes.

I have the deluxe kit one and I like it.
The tripod is a somewhat adjustable by shortening one leg for un-level surfaces
I use the IR light set all the time and noticed I was getting errors the closer they are to fluorescent lights. Fluorescent lights are turned off as much as possible.

The hardcopy manual included is very basic. The Android App is a challenge, but is it useful once you figure it out.

I can't help with this unit, but my Chrony failed the other day. I ordered a Pro Chrono Digital to replace it that should be here next week. I'll try to remember to post my experience with it.

Get into edit mode, press on the error or other entry you want to delete until the trash can pops up on the top right, press the trash can, entry should disappear, then save it by saying Yes.

finialy got it working no bad reading today just alot lower then expected. on i pad go into edit mode it will put a minus sign on each shot and a red box at the end of that shots line press and hold the red box to delete. why couldn't they tell u that???????????? but only getting 385fps ave with cphp 14.3 i added i shim and reading went up 2 fps but seal is getting beat up can't wait for my marauder pistol hopefully in 2 weeks. Hooking to ipad gives temp and bario press. Let's u key in gun description and pellet type and weight u can save templates for each gun/pellet so only have to type once lets u email sheet to friends or save. I think I'm gunna like it
