Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a compatible smartphone to use the ShotView app for session tracking and additional shot analysis features.
- Battery life is listed as up to 6 hours or 2,000 shots, so longer range sessions may require planning around recharging.
- The 100 to 5,000 FPS measurement range covers many common uses, but it may not suit every projectile application outside that range.
- Tripod use is supported via the 1/4x20 threaded mount, so a stable setup may be needed for consistent operation.
