wingsuit audible altimeters

[Weeeee 0]

Hi,

i am buying a new audible alti.
Some people in this forum have said the neptune (2 ?) sometimes misses the beginning of a jump.

I am curious what alti's are used and who's works reliably, for logging flight info, as well as beeping...

I have a Neptune, but I use it as visual alti.

Optima is the best audible I've used so far:
4 freefall profile with 3 alarms + swoop guide.

I use a Pro-Track for my audible and a Neptune to record freefall data. Works great for me.

The best things in life are dangerous.

I wear three...
Altitrack on my wrist
Galaxy on my chest or mudflap
Optima in my helmet

Optima is wired to my camera indicator, so not only do I hear it, I see it too. IMO, Optima is the best audible out there. I like the NeoXS as well, but it doesn't have output for light.

Optima in my helmet
AltiTrack on my wrist. Love my Alti!! I don't download to my PC nearly as often as I should, but it's a great recording device. Next up I want to get a GPS to play with too.

Three (3) Altimeters:

I wear an Altimaster Neptune in one of those Square 1 gloves with a pocket designed for it. I really don't use it under wingsuit flight but like it on my hand out in the airstream as a data logger. I still have not got around to downloading to Paralog though and using all the software features......too busy in my work life.

I have an Altimaster Galaxy mounted on a BoneHead mount to my container mudflap. I use this under wingsuit flight. For some reason the "analog movement" of the needle for altitude vs. time in the air "works" in my head better.

In my helmet I wear a L&B Optima. 4,500 ft for break off, 3,000 for pull, and 1,500 siren hard deck to go for handles. I also like the adjustable canopy alarms that sound off. Even though I have a "sense" of low altitude under canopy I still like the audible chirps.

I also like to fly listening to my I-Pod in my Oxygen A-3 Full Face Helmet. The helmet is very quiet, I can hear the music great, and I can hear the Optima alarms over the music quite well.

Music of choice will flying; trance of course! Its even more surreal when you fly your wingsuit on a night jump.

Have Fun!
