Not sure if this is the correct area to post this but anyways, Is there possibly any indoor chronographs for sale anywhere that don't require a light fixture above the sensors?.

Preferably a cheap unit,from what ive seen during my searching online though all seem to be outdoor units and if shooting indoors need a seperate light/fixture that attatches to the chrony.Do the cheap yellow coloured paintball chrony's work indoors?.............

Regular chronographs do not require a special light fixture for indoor usage, they only require the use of lights which do not flicker like fluorescent bulbs. Using a simple high wattage incandescent bulb above the Chrony and the light diffusers that are provided is sufficient to allow indoor operation.

What the guy above me said. I just put a lamp next to mine.

I agree with the others. Just make sure you have a decent light near or above it. I've tested airsoft guns in my basement all the time.

Same here, as long as it's not one of those pesky eco-tubes you're fine ;)

And if the problem still exists (as it does here, probably because of the 60HZ in my wall outtake) there is infrared lights designed for chronys!

I was hoping to find a cheap chrony, cheapest I see here in Australia is a seller on ebay selling F1 Chrony's for $175.00 Australian :cry: doesnt look like any chronys are cheap apart from those cheapy Airsoft Chrony's that only read light coloured or white bbs :roll: ............

You might want to consider the Combro, you can get it directly from the manufacturer here:

The issue is that you're limited to a maximum calibre of around 8mm for safe testing so it's more for standard bore airguns that spudding.
