Viso
Rated by: lomaxp (more about me) on 2008-06-24 08:27:07 (user reviews) Review ID:2002

Pros: Customer service, value
Cons: not great mounting systems

Really like these and have received fantastic customer service when I had issue with screen. Only downside is I don't like the lace on system and the protector is also not great if you want to attach on multiple bits of kit e.g. helmet to mud flap, etc.

Great Altimeter
Rated by: fuzrb14 (more about me) on 2007-09-07 05:21:09 (user reviews) Review ID:1865

Pros: Logbook, playback feature, backlight
Cons: None

Aside from loving the performance that this altimeter offers, I am also amazed with the customer service that L&B offers. Recently I realized that I had lost my wrist mount for it. I then sent an e-mail to L&B asking where I would be able to find one. Within the next 24 hours I had a response from them offering to send me one for free! I have enjoyed all of the features of this altimeter and would recommend it to everyone! Good product and great customer support. What more can you ask for?

VISO
Rated by: brabzzz (more about me) on 2007-05-06 09:06:10 (user reviews) Review ID:1795

Pros: Real time jump replay
Cons: The strap, and maybe the screen

Does what it says on the tin. The backlite is cool. Screen is clear when viewed straight on (more or less). At extreme angles it not so great, but LCDs never are. Anyway, i'm practically audible dependent so who cares about the screen! ;-) The real time jump replay is great. You basically hit play after the jump and you see the seconds tick on the top row and speed (or height) on the bottom row. Means you could try different positions (say for wingsuit) in each quarter of the skydive and be able to compare them without a laptop afterwards. Likewise, speed built up vs. time during a swoop is easy to see. Data logging seems perfectly adequate. Nope, there is no PC link...but it never claimed to have one either. The supplied wrist strap is sh*te. On the first jump the seam/stitches split 75% across. As in i nearly lost it on its first jump. Two lines of stitches and all's well no - but it's a shame regardless. If you want/need one, it's a good bit of gear.
