Fryderyk 0 #1 Posted August 1, 2022 Hi, I was looking through the Internet for information about digital altimeters. Yesterday I found the Skylife, an Ukrainian company, making visual altimeter Vega, an audible Sirius and a hybrid called Orion. The last one seems particularly interesting and pretty similar to Atlas from Alti-2. Do you have any experience with their products? I couldn't find any info or reviews in English...

I checked out a Vega at the Rock Sky Market store at CSC. It is surprising to have not seen one of these yet, except at the store. It seemed well built and rugged. A case similar to those used for the N3/Atlas which protects/ covers the display appears not to be available, but the dimensions being so similar, the Vega might fit.I think the readability of the L&B displays is much worse than the Skylive & Alti-2 products because they use a seven segment display type - straight line segments to display the number. The Skylive & Alti-2 display (even way back to the Neptune 2) have a “rounded” font, with higher aspect ratio of each character, and a thinner stroke.https://www.rockskymarket.com/digital-altimeters/2234-skylife-vega-visual-altimeter-digital-altimeters.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #3 December 25, 2022 (edited) Thread bump. The Skylife Vega/Sirius/Orion have been sold by Rock Sky Market at CSC for quite some time now, which is quite an advantage to have a brick and mortar store to help if there is trouble. They seem to well designed/built and have all the important features at a great price, but aren't popular. Why? They didn't catch on even before the Ukraine war.

You are mistaken, we sold our products very well before the war in Ukraine and in different countries. Now, of course, there are fewer orders, but we continue to work and ship orders on time. Three new devices will be released soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
