Chronometer Garmin Xero C2

The Garmin Xero C2 is an ultra-compact and portable chronometer that measures projectile velocities from 100 to 5000 fps. Thanks to its sensitive sensor and extra-fast processor, this chronometer is highly reliable, even at high firing rates. The Xero C2 is easy to operate and can be used with a tripod or mounted directly on a rifle or pistol.

Reliable velocity measurements

The primary reason to use a chronometer is, of course, to measure velocity – and the Garmin Xero C2 truly excels in this area. Using a highly accurate sensor, it reliably measures speeds from 100 fps up to 5000. In addition, it features an even faster processor than its predecessor, the Xero C1 Pro, allowing it to support firing rates of up to 10 shots per second. During setup, you select the type of projectile you are shooting, which affects the maximum measurable fps:

• Pistols and rifles up to 5000 fps
• Bows and crossbows up to 600 fps
• Air rifles up to 2000 fps
• Airsoft replicas up to 1000 fps
• Other projectiles up to 5000 fps

What’s new on the Garmin Xero C2?

Compared to its predecessor, the Xero C2 offers several very practical improvements, listed below:

• Increased number of sessions (200) stored in internal memory
• Connectivity with compatible Garmin smartwatches
• Compatibility with Applied Ballistics for improved insight and advice for long-range shooting
• ‘Resume session’ functionality, allowing you to shoot with different projectiles while keeping data separated
• Supports firing rates of up to 10 shots per second

High ease of use and optimal functionality

The Garmin Xero C2 features a robust, waterproof housing that can withstand the effects of recoil when mounted on a rifle or pistol. For mounting on the included tripod, it also has a ¼-20 thread on the underside. Operation is very straightforward thanks to four buttons on the top. Using the ShotView app, the Xero C2 can be connected to a smartphone, allowing shots and associated data to be clearly tracked. The chronograph records various types of data, including:

• Average measured velocity during the current session
• Deviation of the most recent shot compared to the average velocity
• Difference between the highest and lowest measured velocities in the current session
• Kinetic energy (requires the projectile weight to be entered)
