alec86 0 #1 July 15, 2011 hey just looking for some advise im nearly finished with my raps course and im looking at getting an alti, the 2 im looking at are the Galaxy Alti Master 2 and the Viplo FT50 Altimeter, so just asking which I should go with both seem about the same to me, so thought I would see what you guys thought as you have more experience with these than me Thanks AlecSpank the Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #2 July 15, 2011 Either's fine. I think many would probably consider the Galaxy's a touch on the nicer side but it's usually a touch on the more expensive side. If the price were about even I'd probably buy the Galaxy. I got the FT50 because I bought it as part of a graduation deal package they had going way back when and it's done me fine.

Price depends on where you buy, some places the FT50 is more than the Galaxy.

Gary73 10 #4 July 18, 2011 I like the Galaxy because its face glows in the dark, making night jumps a lot simpler. I also prefer its overall look, but I've had both and they're about equally reliable, in my experience.

Galaxy without glow face = $154 Galaxy with glow face = $159 FT with black glow face = $149 FT Superlight (aluminum case with glow face) = $165 As with all products, you pay for additional options.My reality and yours are quite different.
