ALTIMETER QUESTION

Recommended Posts

hey just looking for some advise im nearly finished with my raps course and im looking at getting an alti, the 2 im looking at are the Galaxy Alti Master 2 and the Viplo FT50 Altimeter, so just asking which I should go with both seem about the same to me, so thought I would see what you guys thought as you have more experience with these than me
Thanks Alec

Either's fine. I think many would probably consider the Galaxy's a touch on the nicer side but it's usually a touch on the more expensive side. If the price were about even I'd probably buy the Galaxy. I got the FT50 because I bought it as part of a graduation deal package they had going way back when and it's done me fine.

Price depends on where you buy, some places the FT50 is more than the Galaxy.

I like the Galaxy because its face glows in the dark, making night jumps a lot simpler. I also prefer its overall look, but I've had both and they're about equally reliable, in my experience.

Well, there's more to the story....

Galaxy without glow face = $154
Galaxy with glow face = $159
FT with black glow face = $149
FT Superlight (aluminum case with glow face) = $165

As with all products, you pay for additional options.
My reality and yours are quite different.
