Rodnik Sapphire Professional Altimeter

[TLB 0]

Hi, I am curious if anyone has this altimeter and if it is liked... And if it is a 12000 or 18000 feet MSL... I will probably have a email reply as to the MSL Monday... But I will be on the road Monday and if I had the information before I left I could make a decision on ordering before I left...
Thanks, appreciate any input...

it is 13000ft according to this http://www.robnik.com/index_htm_files/246.jpg picture.
my own one is with a m dial (4000m)
very well build, a bit heavier and bigger than others.

The wrist non-velcro hand mount is the most comfortable handmount I have ever had. 500 jumps, no replacement needed.

I've been jumping one for about 17 years. Very robust. I love the back-of-the-hand mount. Mine is 13K'.

Peace,

that confuses me, we may not talk about the same altimeter here? my sapphire is all metal apart from the dial cover and the mount.

It was plastic until 2012. All 2013 and later models are made of aluminum.

Does it feel "heavy"?

[Uriel2728 0]

it is a bit heavier than a Barigo altimeter, but not to heavy for me.
It doesn't feel heavy while jumping

@skybear: this explains the different experiences!
