JohnGraham 0 #3 April 20, 2005 I like having mine on the back of my hand - happened to come in handy when I had a hard pull - I could keep tugging (I had planed to pull high on that jump anyway) and keep a track of my altitude at the same time without changing my body position; Convinient! :) Does anyone out there use a bonehead alti-mount at all? What do you think of it? Does anybody know if it would be handy for a free-fly begginer, so you don't have to move your arms radically to see it? Cheers!

IanHarrop 37 #7 April 20, 2005 I had to vote other cause I couldn'tmake multiple selections - chest mount (almost 29 year old Alti-2) - hand mount (Alti-2 Galaxy) - audible in helmet (Alti-2 Neptune)"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 93 #9 April 20, 2005 On the hand, but I move it nearer to the thumb than most, with only the index finger through a small loop. It is easier to read with less no hand rotation needed.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuoteI do plan on getting a chest mount one for freeflying though, some time in the future. I'd like to get expert feedback on that one, especially in relation with back flying, and to a lesser extend sit flying. Burble?

The Altimaster 3 wrist strap helps tighter the Handy-Mount around my wrist and the altimeter lens is just below my camera lens and parrellel. Now I need a new excuse for pulling low! Hee! Hee!

Back in the day when 10 way was the only game in town, the base would wear an altimeter on the front of his helmet. That way everyone could see it with out looking down to his chest strap.
