The mechanical altimeter made by Parasport has been redesigned, keeping the same sturdy, affordable, accurate mechanism. Calibrated up to 6.000 m (19.000 ft), with a temperature compensated aneroid capsule, the Aeronaut gives accurate readings along the full range of operation.

The new case is now completely made of aluminum, and its round shape of 55 mm (2" 1/4) diameter, with a thickness of just 21 mm (3/4”), makes it very compact. Glass is shock and scratch resistant. And now the Aeronaut is also water resistant!

New mounts, with steel brackets, are very easy to replace, and quite reliable. The orientation can be interchanged, so the same instrument can be hand mounted or wrist mounted just by changing the mount.

New designs of the faces make altitude reading simple and fast, with just a quick look, with figures that are large, but correctly spaced. The new design of the hand completes the look with improved clearness.

Dial backgrounds are available in white, black, and glow-in-the-dark, with scales in meters or feet.

The different scales and the different dial colors, combined with the choice to have the Aeronaut hand mounted or wrist mounted, make a total of 12 different configurations, adapting to the personal taste and habits.

Comfortable, easy to read
Slides on hand; non-interchangeable mounts

First post! With that out of the way...

Disclaimer: first purchased alti, jumper working towards A license, worn on 4 jumps at time of review, altitude indicated in feet to 18,000.

Pros: The velcro wrist strap is comfortable and very secure. The finger loop is a good size for my fore+middle finger. No needle "hiccups" that I've heard described. Crystal clear face and numbers. Slightly more stylish / not as bulky as the Altimaster Galaxy.

Cons: The altimeter body had a tendency to slide up on my hand, when looking at the face in freefall (i.e., towards my little finger) requiring me to crank my arm a little more to read it clearly. I've counteracted this by tightening the last bit of velcro strap over the fabric that connects the altimeter to the strap and positioning the altimeter closer to my thumb. Doesn't glow in the dark.
