SkyBean SkyDrop Vario, Lightest GPS Variometer: Paragliding, Hang Gliding

Description: SkyBean SkyDrop VariometerLightest and Smallest GPS Vario available!SkyDrop vario is a full featured combined GPS variometer, and at only 68g, it is the lightest vario with display! SkyDrop is a middle class instrument, dedicated for wide range of pilots. Rather than listing all the features of this great Variometer, here are some of the highlights (more features are in the Specs below): Once pilot is autonomous in basic skills (take off or landing), she/he is thirsty for air time. SkyDrop will gratefully help with this mission. It doesn't need to sit on cockpit of cocoon harness, or even worse - at old school leg mount. Instead of that, a riser mount puts instrument right in front of pilot's eyes, where she/he can easily read all what is needed.We recommend riser mount also for advanced pilots, due to safety reasons. When using riser mount, pilot can operates device with brake in her/his hand.However small and lightweight SkyDrop is, we found some space for complete set of motion sensors. Their fusion with the best available baro sensor creates high sensitive compass or instant vario reaction.Competition pilot at the front of leading gaggle needs reliable backup. SkyDrop generates FAI1 class IGC tracklogs and has waypoint navigation with route length optimisation.Tandem pilot has very limited space for instruments, but SkyDrop on passengers shoulder or helmet easily solves this situation.Do you like hike & XC? SkyDrop with its 68 grams in combination with your mobile phone is all you need for these exciting adventures.Leg mount is for camera, not for prehistoric instruments anymore! Riser mount is ideal for "always looking up" acro pilots, who also need some kind of instrument. SkyDrop can provide safety features like altitude alarms, or just G-force meter for fun. Maybe infinity tumble counter will come ;)Physical parameters:weight 68 g (double battery model 86g)dimensions 98x57x19 mmbattery 900 mAh, 7-12h (double battery version 2000 mAh, 15-25h)memory 16 GbFeatures:vario - analog/digital/average, acoustic signalization, graph historyinstant vario responseflight loggs - IGC/KML accepted for FAI Category 1 competitionsGPS - ground speed, altitude, heading, glide ratiowind speed and directionaltimeters - 5 adjustable altimeters (relative, absolute, GPS or QNH mode)height above ground level (AGL) competition waypoint navigation with route length optimisationairspace violation warningfully customisable - multiple screens with configurable layouts and widgetsandroid connectivity - XCTrack, FlyMe, XCSoar, LK8000, TopHat, Sky Land Tracker, Paragliding DashboardiOS connectivity - FlySkyHy, SkyLogger, SkyLogger XXLdigital compassG-meterweak lift detection (pre-thermal sound)odometerbearing and distance from take-offflight diary, fly time, real time clockauto take off and landing detectionUART output (for E-readers connection)Every future feature will be available for free in software update, check current version here.Package contains:SkyDrop variometerraiser holder with adhesive hooks&loopsprotective cordura pocketmicro USB cableuser guidesticker Visit our eBay Store - TrikeBuggy!
