How's the Sonic LPR?

[simon woodstock]

the consitency on my bushy isn't great by any means, i can see times when balls go farther and shorter than other times, the chrono confirms it. i was wondering if anybody has used a sonic lpr and how much it helped their consitancy. i also like the sleeker look and it can be adjusted by allan wrench.

On my sonic I got +/-3 and 4 with a brand new gun, reg and conquest(the hand held are suppose to be within 3% of the actual reading so maybe it was better or mnaybe worse). None of it was close to being broke in. I guess that doesnt really help though since I didnt upgrade from the stock. The anti macdev people on other boards say they dont like them but they say that about everything about macdev.

You know, at tourneys when they do random chrono checks with those hand held or when they do entering leaving field chronos, I wouldnt want to use one of those if Im chronoing as close as possible. If its 3% off and Im chronoing at 300, it can be 9 fps to high or too low. If I chronoed over the good radar ones and Im at +/-1 or 2 then I do one of those hand held things it not even accurate at all. Maybe its not that innaccurate, I think they advertise within 2 or 3 or 4% of actual velocity.

alright, then i'm getting one for sure, it should work well with the red valve i'm getting

if your having velocity and consistency problems look into an adjustable tank if you dont have one start with the internals in this order
valve, lpr, vapor

[simon woodstock]

yeah, that's actually the order i'm upgrading here's the full list
lpr and red valve (same time)
revy w/ x board (when it comes out)
vapor mods and trigger
if i'm still chopping balls w/ the new revy, like i am now, then i'll get the dv8 and ACE.

does the dv8 have any low battery indications?

The chaos feed is more than you should ever need, that thing feeds surprisingly fast. I was going to get a wapr or maybe one of the new hoppers soon to be released but the chaos feed I tried is more than ehough. It feeds way more faster than i ever expectd.

I'm pretty sure the DV-8 tells you when the battery is low..they have so many features on that damm thing, im sure they dind't leave something that importnat out! :)

i'm getting a new hopper no matter what, i'm still using my pre BE 9vt, and i can't upgrade it w/ anything like the turbo rev or xboard, so i'm just getting a whole new hopper all together when the new revvies come out, i don't think i'm gunna get the chaos feed, it's a possibility though, i'm gunna go check it out right now

it's just the new revy, BE still makes it but they finally got their act together (or so i hear)
i couldn't find a link yet though.

I was shooting well over 15 bps and peeked at 22bps and it kept up fine. Only a split second delay from the eye most people wouldnt nptice.
