What Is The Measuring Distance Of A Handheld Speedometer?
The measurement range of a handheld speedometer varies depending on the technology used and the specific model.
Handheld speedometers using radar typically have a range of several hundred meters. For example, the domestic ONick Optical handheld radar speedometer has a range of approximately 0-300 meters (1,300 feet). The ONick Optical "LSP320" handheld radar speedometer can detect moving vehicles within a range of 300-800 meters. In traffic enforcement scenarios, handheld radar speedometers used by traffic police typically have an effective measurement range of approximately 100-300 meters to accurately measure vehicle speed. This effectively eliminates interference from other vehicles and accurately determines the target vehicle's speed. In sports events, when measuring the speed of a player's ball launch, the operating range of a handheld radar speedometer is typically limited to tens of meters, taking into account the on-site environment and measurement accuracy requirements. For example, when measuring the speed of a tennis serve, measurements are typically performed within 50 meters to ensure accuracy is not significantly affected.

Handheld laser-based speedometers theoretically have a longer measurement range. Some professional laser handheld speedometers can measure up to 1000 meters or even longer. In practical applications, such as measuring the speed of a model aircraft flying long distances, measurements may be taken from a distance of 500-800 meters. However, environmental factors significantly affect laser transmission. Inclement weather conditions such as fog and dust can hinder laser transmission, reducing both measurement distance and accuracy. The effective measurement distance can be reduced to 200-500 meters. When measuring vehicles traveling long distances, handheld laser speedometers can measure speed at distances of 500-1000 meters in clear weather and good visibility. However, as distance increases, accuracy control becomes increasingly difficult.
