Look at the logo on the helmet in the photo on Chuting Star. Seems that Skydive Radio guys took it? Is there a relationship between the show and this product? I can't see the point in having one of these and an audible. It's hard to ignore the audible, but if you only have one, I guess this is as good. Full disclosure, Elemental is a paid sponsor on Skydive Radio. What you heard was an advertisement not a review. The photo in question is of my personal helmet. I've not made very many jumps on the unit yet because I've been super busy flying but so far I like it. I agree that selectable altitudes would be nice but as an added layer of awareness the pre-programed altitudes are working fine for me. Skydive Radio
