GregJ Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Should be arriving today, looking forward to chronoing new loads with it. Already have the app on my phone. I got fed up with my CED M2, with the IR sun screens. I've had it for several years, last few years it became totally unreliable with E0 and E1 errors. Some time ago I sent it back to CED, of course they found nothing wrong. Even got a new sensor recently, and swapped it around, still get errors. Tried a paper target in front as a blast shield (yeah, for 9 minor ) , change distances, etc, etc, etc. Some times it wont even store a string. Some times it works great for a string, or part of a string, other times it acts up from the get-go. Some times I get E0/E1 error with the velocity, other times just the error. Yes new battery, several times. I am so done with it. Rant off - sorry. Will post feedback once I get some time on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrow Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I made the move to the G2 and its proving to be the best chrono I've had yet. The phone app is awesome. Bluetooth works reliably. The whole unit is easy to setup and use. Its awesome. Let us know how it goes for you. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Finally got to chrono some rounds today with my G2. I love this thing!!! Super simple, quick to set up, the app works wonderfully. You can set up templates in it, open a template, chrono a load, save that as a group, then you can text or email that group. I really like being able to email the data (also sends it via CSV file), so I can print it off and put it in my binder. No more hand scribbled notes. You can also input the bullet weight, and it will calculate the PF. This thing is light years ahead of my CED M2. Below is a load I was testing (tested in 3 guns, S2, 75, and MPX).

forty5cal1911 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 How does the unit connect to a cell phone? The site states via a 15' audio cable. is that just a 3.5mm audio cable or does it have a lightning connector or usb c on one end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promtcy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Pretty sure the G2 is Bluetooth only. The Caldwell Precision Chrono uses a 3.5 mm audio jack on both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, G2 is BT only. Love mine, sooo much better than my CED M2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forty5cal1911 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Greg how do you feel the accuracy of the G2 unit has been for you? I've read a lot of reviews that report inconsistent velocities. Have you compared it side by side (or inline) with your old CED? Would also be interested in any other users feedback. I love the app capability but if the unit doesn't give accurate readings it's a no go. Edited April 18, 2020 by forty5cal1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevrofreak Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I had my G2 set up next to my Labradar the other day and the average velocities were within just a few FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CED Millinium 2 unit would not give me consistent readings, constant errors, etc, so I really was not interested in comparing the velocities, I just wanted something that would work and be reliable. I will say the velocities from the G2 has been consistent with those from the few majors I've gone to since using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayassa Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Amazon and midway just dropped the price to $177, I was looking at buying one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiflyer51 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I just got the G2 from amazon and used it yesterday. Very easy to setup and use. The blue tooth and iPhone app worked perfectly. Just remember to put in your zip code so that it get the correct local temperature, bp and elevation. And of course the bullet weight. U can store ur results and send them to email and print them out. Results were consistent with chrono stage at match last Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiflyer51 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Next to where u enter the zip code is a GPS button so maybe u can enter coordinates, no documentation on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutist Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I just started a hunt for a new Chrono - thought I was just going to pop for a LabRadar but this looks pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
