Chronographs are key tools in safe paintball. But, chronos have their share of problems. Optical chronographs are dependent on lighting conditions.
Radar chronographs, are more expensive, bulky, and heavy - until now.
Inc. Sports Sensors took the doppler radar experience from their baseball Glove Radar and put it to use for paintball. Doppler radar emits a small burst of microwave energy, and then detects the changes in its frequency when it bounces off of a moving object. Sports Sensors reconfigured their software so that instead of measuring the speed of a baseball heading toward the sensor, it measures a paintball heading away. Operation is simple. Pressing the button again prepares it to take a new reading.
