Hi, I'm not a very experienced skydiver so please excuse me and correct if I say something wrong, specially about the equipment. First, I agree with the guy who says it should be useful not only for cutaways, but also for stolen gear. Specially in Brazil, we get that quite a lot. So, I think it should be have to be charged not less than once every 6 months. It doesnt make sense to charge it often, specially when you never know when you're being robbed. I also believe it should have GSM+GPS capabilitles. I know that these consume a lot of power, so maybe the GPS could be turned off by default, and the GSM pings the server every 30 min or so. It would only turn the GPS on and transmit its location when there's a request from server. So, in this case after a cutaway I open the app or browser and ask for location. When the device picks up the message, it will turn on GPS and send location in real time (updated every minute, or less, this could be set remotely). This would work both for stolen gear and cutaways. If the device is put inside the container (pilot chute or risers or whatever) then I think we would have problems getting the location when the gera is stolen, because the GPS would be hidden, right? I dont know how to solve this problem since I dont know much about equipment. I know it should be discrete. Maybe make it in a similar shape of the hackey handle to replace it? At first I thought I should be able to put my own micro-sim card, and use my own. But then I'd probably by limited by my country and not be able to track it if lost somewhere. So maybe it would be nice if I could choose to use my own sim card or get the worldwide data plan. So, these are my 2 cents. I'd be really interested in such device. And I know many people around here would be too.

3 days battery life doesnt seem to do it...

And guess who's not in business anymore? Too bad, I had an alter and really enjoyed it. Until of course it was stolen from me.. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bch9wYNFgWm
