Quick replacement
Rated by: robertogozzi on 2009-11-03 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: It does well what it is made for, correct, clear, good support
Cons: none, so far

Last September I bought two of them, but a few days later I discovered that one was not performing well and it was difficult to close the battery slot.
I wrote L&B about that and they asked me to ship to their office.
In just a week I got a new one back, working perfectly.
I was using a Pro-Track before I lost it in freefall, I am still using it satisfactorily and I will keep using it in the future.
Thanks guys, it's powerful!

Would not jump without one..
Rated by: CJCivie on 2008-08-26 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Customer Service,reliable,Customer Service,Customer Service
Cons: none

These guys are in Denmark, and their response time is about 4 days. I do AFF, Video and 4way. For the first 2 I cannot afford an instrument mal. I have been on an AFF where the other instructors visual altimeter failed (another popular brand). I can set custom warning levels depending on what kind of dive I am doing. a great feature. It's a great product, just ordered an optima.

Wish i still had my Skytronic GFX...
Rated by: hurrikanejae on 2008-01-29 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Loud, Accurate, Great for speed comparisons, Easily mountable with clip included.
Cons: Programming, Buttons, Turns off too fast, No canopy warnings

Just got my pro-track that i just "HAD" to buy so i could "upgrade" from my gfx and have a way to mount on the outside of my helmet. Unfortunatley what i got was a smaller but less user friendly device than i had really wanted to deal with. the initial programming you do for setting up any new audible/computer was impossible without the instructions and the device shut itself off at least 10 times while setting things up. after the intial shock of "clunky user interface", i was happy to know it beeped at 1k feet to confirm it's on and remind me to take off my seatbelt. the warnings are loud and distinct and always on time even on the outside of my hurricane helmet. the other major reason why i miss the skytronic gfx is because this audible does not have any canopy warning sirens. this is a major turn off when you are comfortable with at least 1 siren telling you not to turn or manuever below a chosen altitude. overall, i would say if you have to go with an outside mount, the purchase is a must...if not go with the gfx or neptune..both are more bang for your buck.

Great Audible
Rated by: jcecil on 2006-07-03 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Accurate Recording of information
Cons: Not intuitive to set some options or features

As an audible altimeter this performs just as someone would expect: When you reach the easily programmed altitudes in freefall, it beeps at you. Also accurately records freefall times and speeds, a nice feature. Only downside is if you make a hop n pop, you need to freefall 5 seconds or so first to activate it to record that jump.

User End
Rated by: edkostiuk on 2006-05-26 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Well Worth the investment BUY ONE you will be happy
Cons: Batteries are expensive (not happy about their shelf life)

Took a while to learn the user end...would like to see the manual a little more streamlined for us challenged techno dummies but the device has exceeded it's expectations....I highly encourage everyone to purchase it. The Batteries are on the expensive end but the tradeoff is a device you can count on...an NY buddy and I swap pictures all the time on who is doing what in the jump world...this time no bogus claims (on his end of course) we have documented proof of freefall accuracy.

Does the job effectively
Rated by: bob.dino on 2006-04-02 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Reliable, tough, accurate
Cons: Quirky user Interface, expensive batteries

The Pro-Track is an audible altimeter and electronic log-book. While no longer the latest generation (Optima, Viso & Altitrack are newer), it works extremely well and is excellent value.

Its primary shortcoming is the expensive batteries it uses. The user interface will take a few minutes to get used to, but once learned is easy to navigate.

Recommended.

My Beloved
Rated by: Kritterchef on 2006-03-28 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: everthing but mostly service!!!!
Cons: Absolutely nothing, well worth the price!!1

Got mine about 40 jumps ago, and won't jump without it, this said it was defective when I got it, altitude alarms worked but all stats were way wrong, i tried all settings to correct, and the gave up and just used it for alarms, hesitant to email or send it off because its my only audible, well i finally emailed l&B and told them the story and they are sending me a brand new one!! And then I can send the old one back.. These guys aren't playing and they are pure capitalists either. They are for the sport and for us, Buy one BUy two you will be pleased..

A1 Customer Service
Rated by: sydneyskydiver on 2005-09-04 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pro-Track in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Reliable product and great customer service
Cons: None

As a novice, bought my first aud alti, the pro track, for my open face helmet a few months back. Deciding to do more rel work and buy a full face helmet thought it would be a bit painful to change to housing round from the two helmets every so often. Emailed Larsen and Brusgaard with this and also asked where to get more elastic bands for the protrack. Within a day they indicated they would send me another housing component for the protrack and some elastic bands - FREE. Received within a couple of weeks multiple housings, numerous rubber bands and spare batteries! These guys are absolutely awsome! Thanks Larsen and Brusgaard!!!!
