Chrony accessories

[crabo]

I have the Blue Beta Master Chrony. I am looking at a printer and the sky screens. Does anyone know if these accesories will work with other chronographs? This is my first and I bought it used for $60. I don't want to put money into lights and a printer to find out that I want to get a different brand later, and my accessories won't work.

I like that that you can also run the Chrony LED on 12 volt battery.

It looks like the LED lights, even though they cost more, are a better deal than the fixture. It looks like you have to buy bulbs with it.

Any recommendations?

Neither of those lighting accessory kits have any electronic connection to a Chrony. In other words, the Chrony doesn't even know they are present, or absent.

There is no reason (beyond some 'physical adaptation') why the lights won't work with any chronograph that is compatible with incandescent light.

+1 on lighting info...and I agree that the LED option is probably better between the two

"Chrony Ballistic printer" will work within any of the Shooting Chrony series...seriously doubt it'd work with any other brands...

The lights aren't necessary outdoors. If I was going to do much indoor chronographing (air gun, bow and arrow), I would opt for the LED version. It will outlast the incandescent bulb version. Unless you shoot it, you'll not likely ever have to change the lamps. If I were you, with the LED version, I'd thoroughly tie up the excess cabling. I enlarged the photo and there are bullseyes printed all over the cable sheathing.
