Keeps Me Informed
Rated by: mnskydiver688 (more about me) on 2007-05-04 08:19:11 (user reviews) Review ID:1793

Pros: Ease of Programming, Volume, Reliable
Cons: Excellent intro audible

I have been very pleased with the Pro-Dytter. I am starting to really get into RW and it is often easy to lose altitude awareness while using a wrist mount altimeter. With the Pro-Dytter I am able concentrate on the jump. A dytter should never replace a regular altimeter, but it is an excellent tool to add to your kit.

I like my pro-dytter, but it's missing some features that would make it safer
Rated by: obadz (more about me) on 2006-11-27 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1707

Pros: Sound volume is perfect. Interface is convenient and safe.
Cons: Only beeps if still in freefall. No check beep on exit.

I've only been using my pro-dytter for a few jumps and it's been working great, reliably, etc. I'm very happy with the sound volume. Others have already commented on all the positives, so I'll focus on what, in my opinion, should be added to future versions (they haven't fixed this in the solo) 1) It only beeps if you exceed a certain vertical speed (30mph for 1st and 2nd warning and 65mph for 3rd warning according to manual). So if you end up fighting line twists under a spinning main (a situation where an extra layer of altitude awareness would be welcome), the audible will NOT sound the siren to tell you just busted through your hard-deck. I'm not suggesting the siren should go off and only stop on landing but I wouldn't mind it sounding for a second or two even if I'm under a well functioning main as a reminder to stop aggressive maneuvers once below the hard-deck. 2) It doesn't signal its presence as you exit the plane. It's nice it beeps when the plane flies through 1000ft, but a lot can happen between 1000ft and full altitude. People take their helmets off, audibles can slip away... It would be nice to have it beep on exit, as it first detect some vertical speed to let you know that it's there, activated, with you. Of course nothing can ever replace visual altitude awareness but if we could make these little devices safer and more useful.. why shouldn't we?

Pro-Dytter is the best
Rated by: bradbuzea (more about me) on 2006-04-06 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1515

Pros: customer service, reliability
Cons: none

I love my Dytter. I have recently started to free fly and the Pro-Dytter has been very helpful. Larsen & Brusgaard’s customer service is the best in the industry. I have sent my altimeter in for repair (it has been long out of warranty) and they have replaced it with a brand new one and extra batteries at no charge!!! Thank you Larsen & Brusgaard,
