audible altimeter

[glgflyer 0]

I realize this is a question of opinion but what is considered by most to be the best or most reliable audible altimeter to backup my Alti-2 Galaxie?

They're all good, depends on how much you want to pay for one, and how much functions you want/need.

For instance do you need a logbook, need it to be able to double as a visual alti, need for your beeper to be real simple, need beeps under canopy, stuff like that.

if you want just want something for freefall- Solo

if you want something for freefall and under canopy- Optima or Neoxs

diamonds are a dawgs best friend

With no computer included : VISO, OPTIMA or SOLO all from Larsen & Brusgaard; NEOXS from Parasport
With computer: PROTRACK from Larsen & Brusgaard, SKYTRONICS from Parasport; NEPTUNE from Alti-2

I personally prefer Larsen & Brusgaard products for their reliability and the incredible good service.

Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

It is, you can also use it as a digital alti later on if you want (you'd have to buy another beeper then though). The Neptune has everything in one unit, L&B don't have anything comparable to it. I'd personally stay away from the Parasport Italia ones - have seen to many problems with their digital products and their customer service doesn't come close to L&B and Alti2's.
