millertime24 8 #1 January 15, 2008 Anyone use one of these? Do you like it if you do? Guess all I need now is a helmet to put it in. I'm thinking something like the secong picture.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henryvillar 0 #3 January 15, 2008 The helmet should make for some interesting drag levels and sit-fly positions.

maurice1369 0 #4 January 15, 2008 I like the optima I have but also the Alti-2 Neptune is also a very good audible to useEXPECT THE WORST, HOPE FOR THE BEST!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #5 January 15, 2008 FYI, that helmet is only a joke. The post was about the Optima. Anyone ever used one?Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beowulf 1 #6 January 15, 2008 I use an Optima for an audible and a Neptune for visual altimeter. I have been happy with both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blink 1 #7 January 15, 2008 I just got one as well. The only thing I'm not sure of, is using a Viso as an audible ;). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #8 January 15, 2008 Cool. Thanks for the input guys. Hope I didnt make a stupid decision, but I guess anything from L&B is pretty damn reliable.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Vader won't hear much with a VISO strapped to the side of his hat.The optima is very cool. I don't have one but everybody I know that does seems to like it. I just got a VISO and can't figure out why you have to tie it to the hand strap with a piece of string. It seems like L&B would come up with something a bit more technically sophisticated.

JustChuteMeNow 0 #10 January 15, 2008 I use the optima and I really like it. It is easy to use and it sits comfortably in my helmet. However, it is not a Darth Vader helmet and so yours may or may not be as comfortable. Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

damion75 0 #12 January 16, 2008 Darth's helmet doesn't seem to be available right now... this is the closest that I could find for you. Not quite Darth *************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only have two jumps on mine but so far I like it. The slow speed canopy warnings are nice. Just be sure to read the entire manual after you get it and then go through the setup a few time.

ROK 0 #16 January 18, 2008 I like the Optima and have used it on most of my jumps. I use a Viso and a Neptune for visual and have found the Neptune to be more accurate when wingsuiting. My freefall times are closer to those I jump with. The Viso would be as much as 15 seconds off. Even when set in the "slow fall" mode. That aside...L&B rocks and I've had excellent luck with their customer service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
