Johnny_Cage12 0 #1 April 28, 2009 Hi all, I am in the process of buying my own gear and have come to the altimeter stage and need some advice. I have always jumped just the wrist mounted Galaxy and have had nothing but good experiences. I will be buying a helmet soon and am interested in getting an audible altimeter as the reviews that I have read sound awesome. I would prefer that one of the altimeters have a computer for logging jump characteristics. What setup and combination of altimeters do you all use and what recommendations can you make? Thanks for the help! John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's digital for readability, and I like the logging (though I wish it was USB-compatible). Great customer service, too. Altimaster Galaxy - on mudflap, mounted via The Wedge. For tracking & wingsuit stuff.Signatures are the new black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humbled1 0 #12 May 5, 2009 I use: Alti-Track on wrist: Love the analog look plus loads of jump data that I still not sure what to do with...(and yes I have jump-track and still wondering why..lol) Optima in helmet: works great in freefall/under canopy, very easy to configure beep altitudes using numbered profiles Visio on mudflap using bonehead mount: Great accurate digital display, ez to see while tracking and under canopy. good luck"Tell ya the truth, I don't think this is a brains kind of operation."

Altimaster (barometric) on wrist Skytronic-GFX (Digital) also on wrist until my mudflap arrives - for canopy heights ProTrack in helmet. Seems like a good set up for me. (.)Y(.)
