Labradar/Mount/Trigger

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

I am currently going to purchase a Labradar Chronograph. ASAP
The "Labradar All Purpose Mount" is out of stock and backordered everywhere and I also want to get the Trigger addition.
Is there any other mounts/tripods that shooters that have the Labradar use?
Which Trigger connection to get? I have seen several different Trigger options.

Thanks much
Len

I just use a standard vortex tripod and mounting plate. Generally use it on my own though so don't have to mess with hot firing lines and stuff. Tried a few of the table top mounts and didn't like them.

Never had any issues getting it to trigger so haven't bought one of those either.

They sell a quad pod thing that you put EMT tube into that looks pretty slick. Goes over the gun for easier aiming, triggering.

I've used the Labradar tripod and a full-size camera tripod. Depends on how much bench space I have, shooting position (prone/bench/tripod) and how windy it is. I use the JKL recoil trigger and it has been awesome. The only shots I miss are the ones where I forget to arm the LR before shooting.

I bought a short, stout tripod from Amazon. Look at the ratings before you buy. I've also have a JKL trigger but I don't use it anymore. The LabRadar works fine without it.

If you want an indestructible hard case for your LR without breaking the bank, look at the Apache cases from Harbor Freight. Them come in various sizes and colors. The price is very good for a Pelican case knock-off. My case holds the LR, various wires, tripod, inertia trigger and external battery with a little room to spare.

Make your own. The tripods and that orange mount are crap. Get a 8in square 3/8 piece of steel at TSC or other supply house. Drill hole in center for bolt to attach the Labradar directly or a camera type ball. I'll post of a pic of mine. Solid

My bench mount is a 12" quick clamp with a 1/4 x 20 bolt welded to the end. Works great. I also bought the Pietre trigger, science he was the one who came up with the idea. I use vet wrap to secure it to the underside of the rifle stock, and works very well. The triggering system on the labradar works, but with the Pietre trigger, I can mount the labradar closer to me, so it's within reach while sitting at the bench. Makes everything much more convenient.

I use this on from Arkco, it works great and setup time is quick

Quad base. For use with a Lab radar.

Base with folding legs for use with a lab radar unit. Body and legs are machined from aluminum and all screws are stainless.Rubber feet prevent sliding on the bench.Foot print of the unit is 6" x 6" to center of the rubber feet. When attached to the lab radar, it provides a very stable and...

Thanks, I just don't want to buy or make several different mounts and then not using them. This plte idea sounds good.

Hey Len,
I also use a standard camera tripod. Mine stays "together" in the man cave 24/7 and if/when I decide to use it, I just pick it up and walk out the back door. Shooting bench is only 20-25' away. I know not all have that luxury but that dictates how I use it.
I haven't had the need for an extra trigger. Mine catches each shot unless, like was mentioned previously, I forget to arm it. I have muzzle brakes with different exhaust angles which have to be taken into consideration or I'll miss a reading. Other than those two, mine is spot on.
The one thing I do not like is not being able to edit the shot string and put details about the load (i.e., bullet, weight, powder, primer, etc.) for easier reference.
Another thing. I had a work phone, a Samsung S8, that I used for the app and it worked great. Then I had to go to a S10 and not so great. I have tried many times and several different things/options but my S10 is a no-go for bluetooth with the LR. Luckily, work hasn't made me turn in the S8 so I keep it charged just for the LR.

The unit will fit in the 3800 Large, I even put the small tripod in with it. I have since gotten the 4800 XL which is what is in the photo above. My first case was black since then they have the orange which matches the Labradar better and is more visible. They are currently on sale and I have a 20% coupon for this weekend if you need it.

I regularly go to HF so I am going to pick one up this weekend. (I already have two new xl and two L black ones setting in my equipment area, but like the orange).
Thanks again
