Overview

The Xero C2 launched January 23, 2026 at $699.99 and is positioned above the C1 Pro rather than replacing it. The headline upgrade is sample rate: the C2 captures up to 10 shots per second, where the C1 Pro caps out around one shot every two seconds. That matters if you run a string through a stage timer, shoot rapid fire on an MPA chassis, or want shot-to-shot ballistic adjustments on a competition clock. Applied Ballistics support over Bluetooth lets a Garmin tactix or Instinct watch pull the velocity straight into the firing solution.

Key Features

Rapid-fire mode reads up to 10 shots per second for stages and string drills
Reinforced housing for harder range use
Applied Ballistics connectivity through compatible Garmin phones and watches
Resume Session for picking up a string after a battery swap or break
100 to 5,000 fps measurement range with IPX7 water resistance

Pros

+Only sub-$1,000 Doppler chronograph that handles rapid fire cleanly
+Applied Ballistics connectivity closes the velocity-to-solution loop in Garmin's ecosystem
+Rapid-fire capture is built for stage strings, not only slow-fire load work
+Garmin ecosystem keeps adding features through firmware

Cons

−$200 more than the C1 Pro for features most reloaders will not use
−Most valuable inside the Garmin ecosystem; less compelling on Kestrel-only setups
−Overkill for hunters and casual reloaders
