Labradar mounting options?

[QuietTexan]

It's surprising that the blast doesn't tip the LR over.

Honestly it's pretty solid when screwed onto the tripod, if you use a good heavy duty one. Depends where you put the legs also, I usually put the back two legs along the front edge of the bench, so a full headwind occasionally tilts the tripod backwards. Maybe the lateral blast pushes directly into a leg of the tripod, so it stays stable in that case. Most tripods have a hook under the stem also, you can clip a biner to it and hang something and that weight really locks it down.

Could someone provide an image of a LabRadar set-up that deals with ported magnum rifles?

That's a 6" set-off with brake well forward. Never had a problem.

A friend cooked his by setting a magnum brake close to his Labradar.

The best bench stand for the LabRadar I've found.

Interesting. Looks nice

Chrono Report — Using the LabRadar from Bench and Prone « Daily Bulletin

Bart Sauter of Barts Custom Bullets owns a LabRadar chronograph. He was curious to see how his loads performed in actual match conditions, so he brought his LabRadar to a match and set it up right on his benchtop. What he learned was quite surprising. For one thing, Bart found that tuning for...

JKL trigger allows you to place unit anywhere on bench with direct view of the target.

Pretty easy to mount it to just about anything you want with a arca-swiss plate. Any tripod with a ball head works for field shooting. Unit also works with the ball head at 90 degrees, so the unit is sideways.

Off a bench I shoot with it placed back nearly at the action, no issues with running a brake or triggering the unit.

This does not solve the OP problem, but for you DYI people, THIS is my solution. Will not move. Cost a few bucks for the weight, some epoxy, a bolt, and a spare tripod swivel neck from my Leopold spotting scope.

I've been using all sorts of different mounts: the original orange plate, RRS 33 tripod, etc. I recently bought this cheapie and it works surprisingly well.

I took a solid 12 inch x 1/4 inch aluminum plate and milled a recess in center and put some rubber feet on bottom. This cost me 15.00 total. Of course the tripod head was from Amazon for 10.00.

I had problems using a tripod as I shoot off bags and the labradar was too high. My solution was to take a 1/4" aluminum plate the same dimensions as the lab radar, and put a countersunk hole dead center and mount the labradar with a 1/4-20 flathead screw from the bottom. Bingo, perfect height and no more problems.
I also repurposed an old pelican case and everything fits perfectly in the pluck foam
Oh, I also covered the bottom of the plate with stick on stair tread so it doesnt move on the bench.

Sweetness.

The LaRadar works fine when above your muzzle also. I have mine mounted with a pipe clamp 12 inches over the shooting surface for use with the bench rest tables at the club. When shooting from the ground I shoot it under (through) my tripod, no chance for the lateral blast to bother the radar when it is above your muzzle. Mine usually picks up someone as much as 4 feet to the side shooting from the ground with this set up.
