A type of barometer known as an altimeter measures altitude by detecting changes in the pressure of the atmosphere. An analog altimeter uses a compass-like needle to show elevation changes, while a digital altimeter uses electronic numbers on a screen.
People frequently use altimeters for work, leisure, and sometimes more serious endeavors, such as search and rescue missions. Digital altimeters are used for a variety of activities, including hiking, skydiving, and flying planes. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and packages.
They are used by skydivers to determine the precise elevation at which to deploy their parachutes. They can be used by hikers to determine where they are on a mountain peak or a backcountry trail. Altimeters are used by pilots to keep track of their elevation; without them, it would be much more dangerous to ascend, land, and avoid other planes’ flight paths.
When camping, knowing one’s elevation can help determine how long it will take to cook food over a fire. When sending objects into flight, altimeters are also frequently used by researchers.
The Global Digital Altimeters market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The first digital altimeter designed specifically for skydiving with GPS and 3D location tracking is the Dekunu. Jump-path mapping, G-force, swoop, and landing zone analysis are all part of the after-jump feedback that can be viewed, analyzed, and shared in the cloud. Similar GPS features can be found in the AON2 X2.
In addition to having an LCD Digital display, the DigiAlti from Freefall Data Systems has a distinctive LED LightBar. You can personalize up to 33 different light effects and alerts with the LightBar.
Even though VISO II+ has stood the test of time and is still the digital altimeter that sells the most units, that does not mean that it is the best option for you. To help you make that decision, continue reading for a comparison of the features.
While the X2, One, AltiX, AloXs, VISO II+, DigitAlti, Juno, and ARES II are all visual altimeters, the Atlas II can be used as an audible. The VISO II+, ARES II, AltiX and AloXs utilize replaceable batteries, yet the Chart book II, X2, DigiAlti, Juno and One are battery-powered through a USB link.
At least one basic hand or wrist mount is included with each of the DigiAlti, X2, VISO II+, ARES II, AloXs, AltiX, Juno, and Atlas II models. There are a number of additional mounting options for each of these separately. Dekunu’s One is available without any mounts; however, the majority of skydivers order either the Mudflap Mount or the Elastic Wrist Mount.
The data on the screen can be seen at night on all but the AltiX thanks to the night jump backlight.The AltiX altimeter costs the least at $219, while the Atlas II, One, and X2 altimeters cost the most at more than $400. The AloXs are the smallest, with the One and X2 being the largest and the VISO II+, Juno, and Atlas II being right in between.
The DigiAlti, ARES II, AltiX, and Atlas have aluminum cases, whereas the AloXs, One, Juno, and VISO II+ have plastic cases. The only digital altimeter with a traditional round shape is the AltiX.The cases and charging ports of the N3, Atlas, and Atlas II are different versions of the same altimeter.
The first altimeter in this line, the Neptune—which has since been discontinued—was produced in the United States by Alti-2.The Juno is a more basic version of the Atlas II that does not have logbook or audible features. It does keep information about your last jump and comes in a carbon fiber case that was 3D printed.
