Wyoming Shooter Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'm in the market for my 1st chronograph. The CED Millennium appears to be high quality and a good value. Your thoughts? A forum search wasn't much help. Thanks and best Christmas wishes. ELN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I've been very happy with mine. It also came with the IR screens for indoor use, but I haven't had an opportunity to try them out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It's a very good unit. I apparently had a sensor go bad but CED was great in replacing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Mine works well too. I use the Infrared screens often, when the sun is low, or if there are scattered clouds. It keeps errors from coming in through those variables. I would not buy one without 'em... Don't forget the Battery! Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I've been happy with mine. So happy that after I bought mine and shot Area 1 I picked another one from the prize table that came with the infared skyscreens and battery. I always use the infared skyscreens. If it's good enough for USPSA, it's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 They're great. The best thing is the consistency between different units. You can go to a major match that CED sponsors and know that you'll be right on at the chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery charger doesn't tell you when the unit is fully charged. Small complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Mine works great. The IR screens gave me fits when they were used indoors. Finally figured out the fluorescent lights were causing the weird readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrashb Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) Which reminds me of my only complaint. The battery charger doesn't tell you when the unit is fully charged. Small complaint. When the battery pack starts to get warm, it's charged. Edited December 11, 2006 by acrashb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigS. Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have a CED as well with the IR light screens, but won't pick up the shots anymore after only the second time out. How do I know if the sensors are bad? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 the indoor range i go to has an assortment of lights. at first i thought it was the flood lights causing the IR not to pick up the shots. So i made a cardboard shroud that covered the top and the side. it helped some of the time. then i noticed the light behind me was fluorescent. i taped a target in the front along with the shroud and VOILA!! readings 99.9% of the time. depending on your lighting situation, you might need to cover the back sensor with a target too.
