It performs reliably
Rated by: dreamsville (more about me) on 2002-06-18 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:543

Pros: Reliable audible warnings
Cons: No miles/hr, history, unreliable exit altitude

I had to get my Skytronic serviced, and then replaced about 3 years ago. Since then, it has performed reliably on audible warnings always, although I always check the warnings on the way up. Incidentally, I have also seen it go dark on the way to altitude when the batteries became too pooped to participate. It fits in a helmet pocket and has easy controls. All this having been said, I have recently bought a Pro-Track to get the history of jumps and more detailed fall-rate info, which also happens to be able to be set to miles/hr. If any of the above seems inaccurate, I am jumping a 3-year-old Sytronic Pro. Harry

Don't waste money on this product.

I bought a skytronics as my first audible. When it works, it works good. I have a lot of problems ending up with the same numbers (time, speed, exit, opening) as with other jumpers on the same dive even though we all open at the same alt. It never seems to give me the same pull warning twice, shuts off all on its own, and is causing me to buy a pro-track. Don't waste money on this product.

It's half the price of the Pro-Track and most importantly it's the most audible on the market.

I loved my Skytronic right up 'till the time it bounced. I always heard it go off, even goggles mounted in head-down. None of my mates with other brands can say the same. The timer is great for doing rel training jumps (set for 35 seconds and it tells you when your working time is finished). It logs jumps and gives you your opening altitude and all the rest but to be honest, after the first few jumps I never bother checking it anymore. 3 irritating things about it, their 'low battery' warning is useless. It came on while I was waiting to board the plane and the unit shut down on the climb to height... (expect 300 jumps per set). The shape is difficult to mount to anything but the goggles pouch works well. The 30ft increments for setting the warning tones are too small and call for a lot of button pressing (33 pushes per 1000 ft) Those aside though, it's the same price as a Pro-dytter but has heaps more features many of which I never used anyway. It's half the price of the Pro-Track and most importantly (for an audible altimiter) it's the most audible on the market. I lost mine last weekend in funneled exit. I have no hesitation in buying the same again and have a new one on order already.
