I am looking around for buying a chronograph,and have had no luck searching in my home land,Australia.So I went for the last resort and looked on Ebay.com and found a F1 chronograph for $74US-$94AUS exluding international posting.I was wondering if anyone could help or knows of a place to purchase these devices in Austraila.And is the price for that chronograph well priced or not?

Any help would be great,Thanks guys/girls.

Link for the chronograph...It is way to long,how do I compress it into a single word?such as look -here- and that word becomes the link instead of the 1000character link.I have googled it and had no luck and I asked a few people and they asked if I was kidding and wouldnt help.

to shorten a url use tinny url or learn some html

in the spirit of ghetto ing thing together why dont you just buy 2 ir phototransitors , hook them up to a mic plug, download audacity, line 2 ir leds up so that they make a beam across to a corresponding ir phototransitor, hit record on audacity, then determine the time between the 2 spikes and calculate the velocity

sorry if i just confused the hell out of you, you would have to be a true ghetto engineer to understand what i just said

Me and my friend did that a while ago its crapy,to much work for a result that probably isnt all that acurate.Thats were the chronograph comes in.
