After using a Neptune for 100 jumps or so i decided to sell it because of inaccuracy, difficulty reading the screen, and i got tired of having to replace the batteries so often. I went back to my Galaxy until the viso came out then i figured i would give it a try. I trusted the company already from jumping with 2 of their audibles(pro-track and solo)and knew if they put the same precision and care in a visual altimeter it would be great. When i got it and jumped it, i couldnt have been happier. It was dead on every time, The screen was easy to read, and when i knocked something loose in it the first day of jumping it from a hard bump on exit, L&B was great with customer service and replaced the unit at no cost. I bought the protektor after that and havnt had a problem since then.

I bought one and used it for about 30 jumps before deciding to sell it. With small cesna's it isnt very accurate and the altitude would be consistently off by 50-500 feet. Usually it was at least 150 feet off. When i got tired of the unreliablility of the visual altimeter i used it for about a dozen jumps as an alternative audible since my other one doesnt log jumps, but i found it was still very consistently off from my altimaster 3. When jumping from an otter it was very accurate and if that was what most of my jumps were i probably would have kept it, but with a 207 being my primary aircraft I can't count on it.
