The Evolution Inversion is a wrist mount altimeter. It measures 2 ½ inches at the bottom and tapers in to 2 inches at the top and weighs 4.3 oz. This altimeter comes standard with a 1 1/2 inch wide double overlapping wristband. It also has Free Fly friendly warning zones, and a counterbalanced movement. After hearing concerns about the accuracy of a mechanical altimeter when it is inverted, we put together a series of tests to compare readings of our Evolution altimeters in various orientations. The altimeters we used in the tests did not show any noticeable difference, and were consistent, regardless of orientation (when they were in a positive pressure environment, not in a burble). However, if you apply theoretical gravitational influences to the design of the movement, you could conclude that the reading could be influenced, however minutely, by orientation. Since relative workers use the majority of altimeters, this has not been a concern because the goal is to stay in a horizontal position. As a result of testing and research, we have come up with a solution for the issue. The Inversion altimeter, the first mechanical altimeter designed for free flying, features a counter balanced movement. The counter balancing of movement components eliminates any theoretical gravitational influence that may affect the reading consistency when inverted. -
The Evolution I is a hand mounted altimeter that is small and light in weight. It measures 2 ½ inches at the bottom and tapers in to 2 inches at the top. It is 1 inch tall and weighs 4.3 oz The body is CNC machined from 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and is anodized in blue, black, red, yellow, purple, or silver. The face with its large bold numbers and a contrasting needle creates an instrument that allows the operator an easy reference to which they can visually compare with, in order to determine their location to the ground. The Evolution I comes standard with a Hand Mount. You can choose from three different o-ring sizes, large (standard), medium, and small. You also have a choice of altimeter strap colors, black, blue, yellow, red, gray, and purple. If you require a special size we can make to whatever length you need. The lens is a standard screw in type as to allow the user to replace it themselves. -

The Evolution Stainless is a hand mounted altimeter. It measures 2 ½ inches at the bottom and tapers in to 2 inches at the top. It is 1 inch tall. You will feel as though you are wearing a 6.5 oz. Rolex. The Evolution Stainless comes standard with a hand mount. You can choose from three different o-ring sizes, large (standard), medium, and small. You also have a choice of altimeter strap colors, black, blue, yellow, red, gray, and purple. If you require a special size we can make to whatever length you need. -
The Evolution II is a large, 3-inch faced, chest mounted altimeter for students, instructors, or whoever wants a large faced altimeter. This large altimeter is different from others due to the way the user zeros the needle before a jump. We use the same inner adjusting housing as the Evolution I to adjust the needle. This eliminates any knobs that are sticking out from being rubbed or snagged. The face with its large bold numbers and a contrasting needle creates an instrument that allows the operator an easy reference to which they can visually compare with in order to determine their location to the ground. The Evolution II comes standard with a pillow mount. Pillows are available in different colors which are Black, Blue, Yellow, Gray, and Red. * Custom fabric pillows can be made at no extra charge given the fabric supplied by the customer. The lens is a standard screw in type as to allow the user to replace it themselves.
