FlySight GPS

[Hellis 0]

And thats my point, you want a wire to an external antenna but not a wire to a ear bud.
If you are worried about the wire snaging, just tape it to the helmet. I tape it from the GPS and all the way untill it goes under the edge on the helmet.

Yes i hope you can hear your audible, but can you hear the differnce between two tones with the windnoise.

But i agree, if you are distracted with all your gadgets as it is now i dont recomend you to buy one.

If you don't like ear buds, get a cheap motorbike intercom helmet speaker, you can fit them and leave them wired to the gps. no fiddling with buds or loose wires.

It quite versatile the way it is, it can be mounted anywhere with clear sight of the sky and use any speaker, or headphone style you like.

I don't think it should be redesigned to suit your current helmet style or listening preferences!

This is what I did, a $20 pair of motor cycle speakers. I cut one of them off, put the other in the audible pocket and I forget about them....but I hear on the jump.

lukeh and repcool, that's the kind of setup I'm takling about. And helis, enjoy your earbuds dude. I've been wanting to log data on my jumps, but the audio feedback is a feature I'd only use initially for a while to hone my flying skills. Or maybe when jumping a new suit to get it dialed in. But for ongoing use, I'd prefer to log the data and have just the sound of the wind as I whisk through the sky!

couple of days...

As has been mentioned, the antenna needs a clear view of the sky, so the design choice is really between having the FlySight on the back of the helmet with earphones routed to the inside, or having the FlySight inside the helmet with an external antenna.

I chose the former option for the sake of simplicity. This way, the FlySight itself is one piece. When used as a logging GPS, mounting is a piece of cake. It also gives a few options for the ears. In my case, I use an open-ear helmet, so in-ear earphones work great. Others have used speakers built for motorcycle helmets. I know at least one guy just stuffed a cheapo pair of earphones into his audible pocket, and that was loud enough.

Hopefully this helps explain the design choice!

btw, any news about the planned "low-profile mounting system" ?

I've got a prototype on the way, and if it works well, I should have a couple hundred sometime in February.

I don't have any nice renders on hand at the moment, but the attached image shows the design. A double-sided Velcro strap will pass under the mount and around the FlySight, with tabs holding the FlySight in place in the other direction. The four feet can be secured with adhesive foam tape (it will ship with the same stuff used in the GoPro mount), or with a more permanent method. Like the GoPro mount, the curvature of the feet should match well with most helmets.

Any thoughts on the design?

Michael,
One mount will be sold to me when you get it done. My FlySight rocks!

Im building one this week sometime out of some leftover plastic. Flysight is bad ass mike!

.................


Is it totally snag proof?
If not am wondering if a slope sided shroud would make it impossible to snag a line.

My design was inspired partly by something a local jumper put together--basically a shallow "U" with a double-sided Velcro strap passed under the mount. The whole thing was screwed into his helmet. Very simple and quite effective.

My FlySight mount is a velcro pouch for the unit connected to an elastic band with velcro ends that goes around my neck, ear pods for sound. Not connected to my helmet in any way. It's a PITA but until I have sound IN the helmet I like it. I also have two "dytters" and limited hearing to complicate things. I'll be interested in your new mount.

Hi all, please help me:

I have follow all the dialer's instruction to register my FS on Paralog SW but, when I attach my flysight to pc, a dialog box
on Paralog says to me that isn't the registered S/N so the save function is disabled!!!

Could you help me?
Thanks and BS

[MrCat 0]

That happened to me when I first used paralog/flysight so I emailed the s/n and details to paralog and they emailed me a different registration code for paralog/flysight.

It's happened again since I moved paralog over to my new laptop so I guess (and it is a guess) that the serial number paralog reports for the flysight is dependant on the hardware and probably the OS connecting to the flysight

Thanks,
the dialog box give says to me that the registred s.n. is xxxxxx (and its the right s.n. of my FS) but doesn't read the
FS's s.n. when I attach it for data download!

[MrCat 0]

I had another problem when I copied the files from the flysight onto my computer so I could edit them (this was before I found I could cut sections on the jump profile) and opened them in paralog. Paralog reported the wrong serial number unless I copied them back to the flysight and imported them from there.

Email or PM Klaus (Vidiot) he'll sort you out quickly.

I used a couple of pieces of 3M VHB tape to stick it to the back of my helmet. This stuff is amazing.

Agreed. That's the same stuff I've been sampling for use on my own mount.

Please can anybody help me, I've just bought a flysight second hand and so that, no owner manual.
Does I need a software to unload data to my PC? I'm sure yes but which one?

When I switch on the device I hear no tone. How long before take off I have to switch on?

I still don't understand what am I doing!

[catweazle 0]

Read the Quickstartguide here:

Will take a look thank you a lot.
