Hey everyone and welcome back! Today we will be looking at the full Pocket Radar Ball-Coach.
Product: Pocket Radar Ball-Coach Review – Pro-level Speed Training Tool And Radar Gun
Guarantee: 2 Years
Pocket Radar-Ball Coach- Product Overview
Whether you are a beginner just starting out in Little League, a pitcher trying to make the roster on your high school or college team, or a professional player looking to maximize your performance, the use of a radar gun is considered by many to be an essential tool in developing pitching speeds, throwing speeds, and bat speeds.
Incorporating the use of the Pocket Radar-Ball Coach will help in improving the skills of any player on the field.
When trying to determine and improve throw speeds from outfield to infield, pitcher to catcher, catcher to second, or anywhere else on the field, the instant feedback provided by the Pocket Ball Coach is the easy way to improve efficiently and effectively.
Features
Size: Weighing in at only 4 1/2 ounces with the batteries installed and measuring 2.3″ wide x 4.7″ high and less than 1″ thick, the Pocket Radar is about the same size as an average smart phone.
It can literally fit right in your pocket. No more lugging around that big cumbersome radar gun. Anywhere you go, the Pocket Radar can go with you.
Accuracy: The Pocket Coach is proven to be very accurate with readings within +/- 1 mph or 2 kph of the exact speed at up to 120 feet on baseballs and softballs. These are accuracy readings typically found in pro scout models at two or three times the price.
I have heard from people who have put them side by side with police radar guns and got the same readings 9 times out of ten, with the 1 being different by 1 mph. The Pocket Coach measures speeds from 25 to 130 mph or 40 to 209 kph.
Batteries: With just two AAA batteries (included) you can expect to get more than 2,000 accurate readings in user mode, and over one hour in continuous-on mode.
You can more than double your readings and run time by using rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries (not included). The unit will automatically shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity in continuous mode and 30 seconds in user mode.
Fun, Dependable, and Versatile
The Pocket Radar Ball Coach is quickly becoming a top choice for both professionals and amateurs alike, and for good reason.
At roughly 1/3 the cost of pro models, you get nearly the same accuracy and consistency. Trying different things, like tweaking pitch grips and delivery motions, can greatly effect the pitch speed.
Accuracy and consistency are crucial when trying to determine what is and what is not working. The Pocket Coach really gives you the consistency you need.
The ability to operate the Pocket Coach hands free is another big advantage over using a radar gun. Going hands free gives you the 
opportunity to concentrate your efforts on coaching and training instead of focusing on the radar gun.
Another valuable tool that comes with the Pocket Coach is the built in memory. It will automatically record your last 25 speed recordings. This will make it much easier to keep track of your speeds and review your results later.
Made with the same high impact plastics found in hockey helmets, the Pocket Radar is built to perform in the most demanding sports environments. With its two year warranty, you will get years of dependable service, with pro level accuracy and consistency.
The Pocket Radar can be used for just about any sport where you are looking for accurate speed readings. Accurately measure volleyball and tennis serve speeds, hockey shot speeds, baseball pitch speeds, softball pitch speeds, baseball and softball hit speeds, and lacrosse shot speeds. You can even measure vehicle speeds! If it’s moving 25 mph or more, you can measure it.
Proven
The Pocket Radar Ball Coach was named Best of Show at the 2014 American Baseball Coaches Association national convention, calling it the first pro level radar gun specifically designed for both coaching and training in one unit.
One of the best ways to gauge the worth of a product is to listen to what others are saying about it. I have spent a lot of time going over what other people are saying, and it falls into line with what I have found myself; The Pocket Radar is simply the most reliable and accurate radar gun you are going to find anywhere for under $1,000.
“If you are looking to elevate player performance, you need to own the Ball Coach”. -Three time National Coach of the Year award winner Andy Lopez from University of Arizona
Pocket Radar Ball-Coach – Any Drawbacks?
If I had to get picky and find something to complain about, it would have to be that the tripod and tripod mount are being sold on a separate basis. I really like the ability to set the Pocket Coach up on the tripod behind the catcher and devote my full attention on coaching.
I recently ran across a great deal that was including the tripod, mount and accessory kit for around the same price. I’m not sure how long this deal will last, but if you’re thinking about getting the Ball Coach, this is an outstanding deal.
One easy way I found to set it up is with a Grip Tight GorillaPod Stand. Once you affix the Ball Coach to the unit, you can hook it up to
just about any kind of fence behind the catcher or anywhere else you like.
You can also put it on the ground and the flexible mount allows you to aim it in any direction you require. The legs are flexible which allows you to wrap them around most objects, but are sturdy enough to be used on the ground, even if the surface is uneven.
It’s another cool option when you want to go hands free and focus more effort on coaching.
Pocket Radar Ball-Coach – The Bottom Line
In my opinion, the Pocket Radar Ball Coach is far and away the best radar gun available for the money. I have thoroughly researched all other options available, and there is just not anything that even comes close.
With all of its great features, top notch accuracy, and unparalleled consistency, the Pocket Radar Ball- Coach is easily my #1 recommended radar gun. If you use the Ball Coach, you will improve your game!

P.S. If you found this Pocket Radar Ball-Coach overview helpful, or know someone who is thinking about buying a radar gun, please feel free to share it with the share buttons. 🙂
Thank you for your review. I agree that it would be unreasonable to purchase a $900 unit to help a little league coach improve a bunch of ten year old’s throwing speed.
However, at this price and with these features, I think it would be a good investment. When trying to show a kid how changing a throwing technique will help them improve, it helps to show the actual results. Otherwise, kids being kids, they will often not listen! Thanks for the review. I am going to check this out.
I hear you Ernest!
It is difficult to get kids to listen sometimes, but with the feedback and consistency that the Pocket Radar Ball Coach gives you, they get excited when they see the improvements.
Every once in a while its nice to hear “wow coach, you were right!” 🙂
The Stalker and Jugs guns are awesome, and during tournament situations when I can’t get as close as I would like, it’s nice to have the range.
But in 99% of my coaching activities, the Ball Coach is much more practical and gives me everything I need.
Thanks for stopping by ~Jeremy
I’m a huge baseball lover and these little gadgets are a great way to practice. I’ve never used a pocket radar ball coach before but what a great idea.
I want one for the kids lol they would love this.
It’s very neat how they’re calling it the first pro level radar gun designed for coaching and training. In the Spring I will definitely be making a purchase, especially considering the other ones are over a thousand bucks lol!
Great price and thanks for the read.
Cheers
Hey Jeremy! – Love the name 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed the Pocket Radar Ball Coach Review.
The Ball Coach truly is “pro-level”. The accuracy and consistency that the Ball Coach provides allows you to make real time adjustments to get the most out of your practice sessions.
Ans let’s not forget…It’s FUN!
The Pocket Radar Ball Coach gives you the same consistency and accuracy you get with the best known radar guns on the market today.
I actually wrote an article where I put the Pocket Radar up against the top radar guns in the industry to show visitors to BaseballXGear that pro level results SHOULD NOT cost an arm and a leg!

What a nice instrument and I am so glad to have run across your site.
I know someone that is a coach and was recently looking for something like this. I will pass on the word.
Is the price comparable to other units like it? Does it work with soccer balls as well? I now coach soccer but at one time many years ago, I coached baseball and would have given anything for this instrument. I will pass on the word to my friend and let him know about your site.
Awesome Bobby!
I’m glad you found my review of the Pocket Radar Ball Coach helpful & you are enjoying BaseballXGear, we are glad to have you aboard. 🙂
The Ball Coach will definitely work with soccer balls.
As far as the price being comparable, most radar guns that offer the type of accuracy, variety & consistency that the Pocket Radar Ball Coach delivers usually run 3 or 4 times the price, or more.
I wrote an article where I compare the Pocket Radar Ball Coach with the biggest names in radar guns and put them side by side to give you a true look at how great the Ball Coach really is. CHECK IT OUT HERE
Tell your friend that I will be happy to answer any questions they may have to help them make an informed decision on which radar gun is best for them.

Hi Justin!
I’m glad you enjoyed the review of the Pocket Radar Ball Coach.
This is the best radar gun I have found for the money.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and please do stop back by to let us know how you like the Ball Coach.
Thanks for stopping by ~Jeremy
Jeremy, Very nice job on the review of the Ball Coach radar. One comment, you say “nearly the same accuracy “, when the Ball Coach actually has much better accuracy than the big expensive Stalker guns. Most people think that because the Stalker Pro cost $1200 it must be more accurate, but if you go on their web-site and look up the actual specification for accuracy it shows that is +/- 3% of the reading. So if you are anywhere over 34 MPH their accuracy is worse than +/- 1 MPH. At 85 MPH the accuracy is +/- 2.5 MPH. The Ball Coach radar is actually much newer technology than the big expensive, so-called “Pro” guns and is actually more accurate.
Thank you Chris! I’m glad you enjoyed the Ball Coach review.
After reading your comment, I did a little research of my own on the Stalker. You are absolutely correct. After surpassing the 34 MPH threshold, the $1,200 Stalker gun actually starts to be less accurate than the Ball Coach. Even more ammo to add to my argument that the Pocket Radar Ball Coach is simply the best radar gun for the money.
When I said “nearly the same accuracy”, I was comparing it to the $1,100 Jugs gun, which is supposedly the industry benchmark with +/- 0.5 mph. Make sure to stop back by, as your comment has inspired me to do a side by side comparison article where the Ball Coach will take on the heavyweights. Stay tuned 🙂

I love your World Series countdown.
One question I have for you is this:
What is the best way to teach a young man (age 12-14) how to pitch using good mechanics? Is it too early to start teaching some of the advanced mechanics that you see college and professional players using?
Thank you Matt!
This is a great question and also a great way to put the pocket radar to some good use.
My best advice to you for teaching good mechanics to a young man is to stick with 2 primary pitches; the fastball and the change up.
Use the pocket radar to determine speeds while you try different arm angles while at the same time trying slightly different grips on the ball until you find that perfect combination that gives you max speed differential between the two pitches.
Always remember to warm up before pitching and do not let your young man throw too many pitches. No more than 40-50 pitches 3 times a week and no more than 80 on game day.
As far as advanced techniques, I will assume you mean pitches like the curve ball. This depends a lot on the physical development of the player. To me, 12 is still a little too young. At 13-14 many players have developed sufficiently enough to start exploring more advanced pitches.
My personal saying on this is “No curve ball til you can shave”. I see too many kids who have already done serious damage by the time they reach high school. It’s just not worth it.
Stick with the fast ball and change up, then work your way into a slider and then the curve.
Most MLB players will tell you that the best pitchers in the game are those that can locate a fastball well.
I hope that helps Matt and if you need a hand with anything else, just let me know.

After reading your review, I must say all my questions have been answered. This is a great in-depth review and you have covered every aspect of the pocket coach. It’s definitely an awesome tool to have.
Thanks Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy.
The Pocket Radar looks like a great machine for young kids in their development in learning how to be excellent baseball pitchers.
One thing about youth baseball which I do find a little troubling today is the nature in which so many teenage kids – 14,15 and 16 year old years of age are opting to have Tommy John surgery done on their arms. John Smoltz during his tremendous acceptance speech upon entering the Hall of Fame this summer made a great point about this. Kids should not be throwing year round, instead participating in other sports during the winter. Smoltz, is one individual who had the right to say what he did based on his stellar pitching career in the major leagues.
I personally feel watching the Little League World Series when it comes on television every August is that no 11 and 12 year old kid should be throwing curveballs and sliders during a game. What about a kid just going with a fastball and changeup, and really learning how to pitch – mixing pitches, location, taking a little off of the fastball and so on. There would be much less pressure being placed on his/her arm, not performing the exact motion when pitching curveballs and sliders which over the long haul places tremendous and unnatural stress on ligaments within the arm and elbow.
I’m now 58 years old. I remember as a kid, it was considered dangerous to teach young kids how to throw those types of pitches as it put a strain on their arms. At those young ages the kid’s arm still has not fully developed regarding bone structure, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
My father used to play pitch & catch when I was little, then not even a teenage boy. Together we used to imitate the great pitchers of that era in the late 60s with our throwing motions. My father could do a wicked imitation of Luis Tiant. I used to love Juan Marichal even imitating his famous high leg kick as he went into his windup. My father however would not show me how to throw a curveball, keeping in line with the premise than that 10 year kids had no business throwing that pitch before their arms had fully developed.
Instead he taught me how to throw a wicked knuckleball, something which when he threw it nearly was impossible for me to catch darting all over the place during its trajectory in the air.
Just giving you my two cents, having nothing to do with your great article. When I saw that young gal last summer, Mone Davis throwing sliders to opposing batters in the L.L. World Series I wanted to cringe. Yes, she was great in that one game, although she got blown up by another team in her next outing. Still I hope if she keeps up her pitching, (and they say that she is an even better basketball player who one day hopes to play collegiately up at UConn – my alma mater) I hope that she does not tear a ligament in her elbow- all due to the strain placed on this unnatural movement on the arm of a 13/14 year old.
Thank you for the privilege in reading your tremendous article and best wishes to you.
Sincerely,
Jeff
Hey Jeff!
I’m glad you enjoyed the review of the pocket radar ball coach, it is definitely a great training tool.
I completely agree with your thoughts on kids throwing a curve ball too early. My personal rule is “No curve ball till you can shave”. Fastball, change up in different combinations of grip, arm angle and pitch location is the way to go with young kids.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your story….Loved it!
Look forward to hearing from you again ~Jeremy
Hi Jeremy I have just taken a look at your review. This pocket radar really does seems like a great product. You say it’s very accurate also and that’s the most important thing. Didn’t make any searches about similar products so I don’ know other prices but the price of this one seems reasonable. What do you think about using it in soccer?
Hey Erik!
Absolutely, the most important feature of a radar gun is its accuracy. Without it, you will find nothing but confusion and frustration.
The Pocket Radar Ball Coach is one of the most accurate and consistent radar guns that you can buy. I have ran it side by side with guns selling in the $800 – $1,000 price range and it has given me the same exact readings. For $300 or less, this is a no-brainer. It also has features that I use on a daily basis that those more expensive models don’t even offer.
As far as the Pocket Radar working with soccer; Yes it does. It works with any sport where you require accurate speed readings.
Thanks for stopping by and do let me know if you need a hand with anything else ~Jeremy
This is definitely a great tool for coaching and for those wanting to measure their own abilities and strive to consistently better themselves. I was going to ask if this could be used in the likes of tennis or squash but I see that not only can it be, but it can be used to measure the speed of anything, even cars 🙂 As you say too, it’s for all levels, not just limited to beginners. Great item, and great informative post 🙂
Thank you Jyl!
I’m glad you found the Pocket Radar review informative.
The ball coach is absolutely suitable for any level. While you may not get quite the same distance as a $1,000 scout model, you will get scout level accuracy and consistency.
These are really the 2 essentials that you will need for coaching and training if you are trying to improve your skills.
A great item indeed 🙂

Baseball is not so famous in Asia region, but I believe the pocket radar can be used for measuring the speed of cricket balls in the same way. I am not sure how it could be set if ball is not directly coming in the gloves, but bouncing off the surface. I am sorry if you are not much familiar with cricket as a sport.
No worries Chander.
I am not too familiar with Cricket rules, but I am looking forward to getting to know the sport better. I have seen a few games now, and I found it very interesting. You can definitely draw some parallels with baseball.
As far as the pocket radar working with Cricket; Yes it will work exactly the same as with measuring baseball speeds.
Simply hold in the trigger before the pitch is thrown and release when the speed is shown. The pocket coach will display the fastest speed during the pitch.
I hope that answer your question Chander. As always, if I can help with anything else, just drop back by and I will be happy to help.

Hi Jeremy
I’m no baseball fan and that’s partly because I know nothing about baseball, so it was very interesting to read and learn about it on your site.
I never knew that softball and baseball were two different games!
Thank you for educating me about baseball and letting me know about the fancy gadgets like the pocket radar. It seems like a very versatile training tool.
Very well written and well designed. Keep up the great work!
Cheers
Jelly.
Hey Jelly!
I’m glad you are enjoying the site and I just know that you are going to love the game of baseball.
The pocket radar is definitely a very versatile training tool. Tons of great features that are hard, or even impossible to find on even the most expensive radar guns. The pocket coach is one of my favorite “fancy gadgets” 🙂

I used to play baseball in my younger days, and I never saw anything like this! I know you are looking at my picture and say, “younger days?” LOL! Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!
I recently started getting back into baseball, simply because I saw a baseball game, and I remember how fun I used to have. Let me tell you, I still have my game! hitting 9 out of 10 pitches, and throwing high speed pitches.
However, I haven’t really ever had a way to relay the speed of my ball.. This would certainly be an interesting addition to my arsenal. How can this radar gun help on with the way we throw? I understand the speed, but how do we take those results and use them to our advantage? Am I missing anything?
Hey Chris!
I promise not to judge! LOL
First off, I think it’s awesome that you’re getting back into baseball. It’s a full body workout, doing something that you truly enjoy doing. And hitting 9 out of 10 pitches and still throwing with speed is a great accomplishment… kudos to you!
The advantage with using the pocket radar, is that you have the opportunity to record 25 of your last throwing speeds. So, what I do with my players is to make minor adjustments with pitch grips, arm angles, leg position, etc… Making a minor adjustment with your grip on a 4 seam fast ball can impact your speed as much as 5-10 mph.
After a throwing session, I will sit down and review the session with the player so that we can determine which particular grip works the best for them.
Same goes with any position on the field and where they are throwing the ball.
Example: I will have my right fielder take 10 throws towards home plate and record the speeds. I have found that simple body position, or arm angle adjustments can add 5-10 mph to their throw, saving a couple crucial seconds for a play at the plate.
With the ball coach it’s very easy to see what is and isn’t working.
I hope that answers most of your questions and if there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know and I will get back with you a.s.a.p.

I love your website, is very informative!
thank you so much for the post.
wish you the best and keep up the hard work.
Hello Jeremy, thank you for the informative review of the pocket radar.
Fantastic, this site has absolutely everything for both beginners and regular baseball lovers. I am not a fan of this sport in particular but I was lucky to find this site that has helped me to understand that it is this controversial sport; at first I thought it was a boring sport (still what I have in mind) but I think it is not and I would ask Jeremy if players are the ones who have to take into account the movements of almost all players, are among these their teammates or have to concentrate exclusively on the opposing team ?.
I wish that a special section be included in the “Tips & Advice”: “Tips for Beginners”
Congratulations, It seem an interesting sport and I think I’m going to see a little more closely to better understand the rules and strategies as explained so easy in most of the articles.
You’re welcome Renan!
The pocket radar is a truly unique radar gun with features that you don’t see on even the most expensive guns.
As far as which players you have to concentrate on, I would tell you that yes; each player on the field should know exactly where their team mates are positioned at all times.
Is baseball boring? Well, no. From beginning to end, there is always action, whether it be mental strategy, or the play taking place at any given time on the field. Check out this article I wrote about this very topic https://baseballxgear.com/is-baseball-boring-i-think-not
If you would like to learn more about the rules of baseball, this article will explain everything a beginner needs to know https://baseballxgear.com/simple-baseball-rules
I will get to work on a section for “Tips for Beginners”, this sounds like a great idea!

I have never used a radar gun because I grew up during a generation that didn’t rely on electronic equipment. However, your post captured my intention, was very informative, and written in a manner that I could easily understand.
I liked all the pictures and other graphics that you utilized throughout the writing of the article.
Keep up the good work.
Hey Allan!
While radar guns were around when I played, I never had the opportunity to use one.
The pocket radar ball coach has given me the opportunity as a coach to help players improve all aspects of the speed game. I have used other radar guns, but the features the ball coach offers are unbeatable.
One of my favorite features is the ability to record pitch speeds so we can go back and review what is and what is not working.
Whatever you decide to use it for, I know you are going to enjoy it.

Jeremy, what an awesome review for the Pocket Radar Ball Coach. You have covered every detail of what I need to know about it, its performance, accessories, and where and how to buy it. Even as I was wondering if it came with stand/and or accessories, you answered my question. Pretty good price too. Thanks a lot for your helpful insights. Have a great day.
You are most welcome Cindy!
With all of the features that have been packed into the pocket radar ball coach, it really is an unbeatable price just by itself.
When these deals come up that includes the tripod and mount, and all those other accessories, it is just incredible.

Theres a ballpark about 30 minutes from me, that uses these machines and you can see how fast your pitch is and stuff! 300 dollars for one of those is totally worth it to improve your accuracy and speed though for sure!
Great article!

Thank you Matt!
When you compare all the features and accuracy of the Pocket Radar with models that can cost in the thousands of dollars, you can truly see the real value that the ball coach gives you.

Wow!
I just broke a ball radar I bought about a year ago, I used it for my tennis trainings, but the first the ball hit it the screen got cracked :{
You think this one would stand better?
Btw I really liked the tripod idea… it’s always a struggle to find a suitable place or someone to hold for you
Hey eli!
I have put mine through a lot of abuse that I’m sure it wasn’t made for and it’s still ticking nicely.
Is your ball coach still under warranty? Is it still giving you readings?
If it’s just a cracked screen, you can send it to them for repairs. Here is the number – 1-888-381-2672.
They have great customer service and I’m sure they will work with you until you’re happy.
I love the tripod set up too as it allows me to concentrate more on coaching.
If you need any further assistance, just leave a reply to this comment and I will be more than happy to help.

Hi Jeremy
This looks like a great product to have if you are playing tennis or baseball. I don’t think the traffic cops should get their hands on this machine LOL
Hey Viljoen!
You are correct. The Pocket Radar Ball Coach is a great tool that you can use in any sport, or anywhere else you need to track speeds.
I hear you about the traffic cops, no need to make it any easier for them. 🙂

Hi Jeremy,
Really good review of the Pocket Radar Ball Coach. I can see where you could use this in lots of applications, not just baseball. It could well be worthwhile if you were training for a lot of different speed related events. Too bad it wasn’t around when I was in little league. Thanks
Hi Ed.
This is definitely a great machine for any kind of training where you need to know your speeds.
I wish I would of had A Ball Coach when I was in Little League too. Who knows, maybe we would be reading my career stats right now! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by ~Jeremy
Hey, this looks like a really neat gadget. I wish I’d had one of these back when I was learning to play baseball as a kid. I’m sure it would have dramatically improved my game.
I’m right with you Marcus! I remember doing pitching drills back in Little League trying to improve speeds with different grips. One day my coach brought in a radar gun to try and help us determine what was and wasn’t working. The readings were so inconsistent that coach actually threw the gun at the fence. One of the main reasons I like The Pocket Coach is the consistency. Who knows, maybe if I’d had one then you could be reading my career MLB stats right now! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. ~Jeremy
This post is great. I have personally used this radar gun and I believe that your review is spot on. Great job.

It’s not cheap for an individual but for a pro coach or a club, it could be worthwhile. I agree about the tripod though – adding a tripod to the cost???? but if a standard camera tripod will do the trick then that’s not so bad as you can pick one of them up cheap if you don’t already have one
Hi Eoin! This is definitely a useful tool for any sport or activity that you may require an accurate speed reading. It is a little expensive, but you are getting a top quality radar gun for about a third of the price of pro models. I see coaches spending $150 – $200 for radar guns that never give accurate or consistent readings. This leads to nothing but confusion and frustration, i.e. a big waste of time and money. Thanks for stopping by Eoin and if you need a hand with anything, please leave a comment and I will get back with you a.s.a.p. ~Jeremy
Actually, when you think about it -it’s not that expensive really when you consider what you’re getting. It is specialist technology and you’re not likely to find it on the local supermarket shelf.
If you’re serious about your sport and the pocket radar ball coach is a useful tool – then it’s worth paying for it.
Hi, Jeremy. This is a great review and I really enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Peggy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. If you need a hand with anything, let me know. ~Jeremy
This is a cool piece of technology, and if I played baseball competitively, this would certainly be a product worth buying!
Hi James! This is definitely a cool training tool. Easy and fun to use. Thanks for dropping by and come back anytime. ~Jeremy
I think this device can save people all the way around and this article was well written
Thank you David! Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Thanks for dropping by. ~Jeremy
Hi Jeremy. I didn’t know people can buy pocket radar ball coach, nor have I ever heard of it. This is something for serious pitcher to get. Nice review and a good idea to include video.
Hey Tina! Most people I tell about the Pocket Coach have never heard of it. It really is the ideal training tool for any sport. Fun for all! Thanks for stopping by and if you ever need a hand let me know, I’m always happy to help. ~Jeremy
Very Descriptive Information about the Pocket Radar, and it is good you inform people that it does not come with the Tripod. Nice Job!
Thank you Michael! It’s too bad the tripod doesn’t come with it. There is a deal where it does, but those deals are usually short lived. I went with the Gorilla mount anyway so I can use it anywhere I want. Thanks for dropping by. ~Jeremy
Nice post, the information on the radar is awesome.
Hi Amanda! I’m glad you found the review informative. If you need a hand with anything else, let me know. ~Jeremy
