edge04 0 #1 May 23, 2011 So far I like it. Seeing if I like the finger strap on my thumb or pointer finger. I notice it calculates a high MAX speed. One jump was 151 and another 171. What is that?? It is set for TAS Also, for you guys that download to a computer, what program do you use? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #2 May 23, 2011 QuoteI notice it calculates a high MAX speed. One jump was 151 and another 171. What is that?? It is set for TAS Read the owner's manual. Does that represent FPS or MPH? Were you flying a wingsuit, belly-flying, doing head-down, or what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsreznor 0 #3 May 23, 2011 I use Jumptrack, L&B's software. You also need to buy the USB adaptor to get data off. I wear the strap on my middle finger. The altimeter sits flatter that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 6 #6 May 23, 2011 I got drunk dialed last night so while I was talking I thought I'd change batteries in my protrac...ya know how hard it is to find those little springs in carpeting?! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pchapman 262 #8 May 23, 2011 If it acts anything like a helmet mounted ProTrack (and I'm not sure if it is), don't trust the MAX speed readouts. The devices can be fooled for a few seconds by body position changes. I can track off well from RW formations, by my ProTrack always shows a spike in speed up to 160 mph or something...

If you know it represents mph, then why are you asking "what is that?" Do the speeds seem to match what you were doing on the dives? You can easily reach 151 and 171 mph while going head-down. What exactly are you unsure of? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #11 May 23, 2011 Head down? In AFF? I'm going to assume you mean that you exited in something other than a stable belly-to-earth position? (Because if you're doing head down freeflying as an AFF student ... uh ... ). As others have said, the "max" values on an Altitrack are often anomalies on the data. What were your average speeds? Those are more likely to be realistic measurements of your actual speed."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer Paralog: http://www.paralog.net/ and in that case you just need the second (and buy Paralog from its site). I don't think you can try Jump Track without buying it, but Paralog can be tested without buying it (comes with a demo database). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
