The C2 adds a significantly faster processor that tracks up to 10 shots per second for rapid-fire support (the C1 Pro cannot track rapid fire). It adds Garmin smartwatch integration so you can control the chronograph, view live session data, and import muzzle velocity into the Applied Ballistics solver from your wrist without leaving your shooting position. The C2 introduces a resume session feature that lets you pause a session, switch firearms, and continue collecting data under the correct profile. It connects directly to the Applied Ballistics ecosystem via AB Comms for seamless muzzle velocity transfer. The housing is reinforced and rated for direct rifle mounting to withstand recoil. It includes a protective cover in the box. The C2 uses USB-C for charging (same as C1 Pro) and maintains the same 6-hour / 2,000-shot battery life, IPX7 rating, and 100–5,000 fps measurement range.

Yes. The C2’s faster processor supports rapid-fire tracking of up to 10 shots per second, depending on projectile velocity. This is a major upgrade from the C1 Pro, which could not reliably track rapid-fire strings. This matters for PRS competitors shooting fast strings, load development with semi-auto rifles, or anyone who wants every shot captured without slowing their rate of fire.

Pair the C2 with a compatible Garmin smartwatch (such as the tactix, fēnix, or Enduro series) to control the chronograph remotely, view live session data on your wrist, and send muzzle velocity directly into the Applied Ballistics solver on your watch or phone. This means you can start and monitor sessions without leaving your shooting position or pulling out your phone — particularly useful at a busy range or when shooting prone.

Resume session lets you pause your current chronograph session, switch to a different firearm (for example, while the first barrel cools), and then come back and continue collecting data under the original session profile. The C2 keeps data separate for each profile, so switching between rifles or testing multiple loads during one range trip doesn’t mix your data. This was not available on the C1 Pro.

Bullets, arrows, crossbow bolts, slugs, birdshot, paintballs, airsoft BBs, and pellets — any projectile traveling between 100 fps and 5,000 fps. It works with suppressed firearms, firearms with muzzle brakes or compensators, and doesn’t require any attachment to the firearm. Setup is the same as the C1 Pro: turn it on, place it next to your firearm, point it downrange, and shoot.

Yes. The C2 has a reinforced housing specifically designed to withstand recoil when mounted directly to your firearm. This is a design improvement over the C1 Pro. The C2 also includes a 1/4-20 thread tripod mount for table or ground placement. Most shooters use it both ways — mounted for consistency during load development, on its tripod legs for general range use.

The Xero C2 comes with: Xero C2 chronograph, protective cover, 1/4-20 thread tripod mount, USB-C charging/data cable, and documentation. The protective cover is included in the box with the C2 (it was sold separately for the C1 Pro).

Yes. The C2 pairs with the ShotView smartphone app over Bluetooth for recording session results, comparing velocity shot-by-shot, tracking deviation, managing configurations, and more. New to the C2: the configurations feature lets you manage and track projectile and load data for multiple firearms and bows. If you have more than one Xero C2, you can start a session on one device and continue it on another through the ShotView app.
