Bushnell: 8500 vs 9500i

[Solidjake]

The 8500 consistently alerted to the Bushnell radar gun while the 9500i alerted around 5 times with 20 shots.

Any videos?

original 8500 or x50?

Any videos?

Unfortunately no. If I see my friend with the 9500i I will record the shots again, but the 8500 was from a BMW forum member that I met today to install lights for.

original 8500 or x50?

Original.

perhaps, 9500i has better filtering.

How far apart were the shots timed?

The 8500 consistently alerted to the Bushnell radar gun while the 9500i alerted around 5 times with 20 shots.

I'm assuming these were Q/T tests. If so, isn't this consistent with the majority of information on the 9500i response to Q/T and/or I/O?

How far apart were the shots timed?

About 10 - 20 seconds. My friend is lending me his 9500 tonight. I'll make a vid of how it alerts to off axis shots and front facing shots.

Then I'll do one with my v1 to compare and if I can get hold of an 8500 I'll make a vid for that as well.

Correction, it is a 9500ix

If you are testing QT, your results should be similar to the ones me and a few other forum members did below. Just make sure the gun isn't shot directly at the RD and is at a good distance away from the RD's.
