The Solo II Audible Altimeter is a compact and reliable electronic device designed primarily for skydivers to provide crucial altitude awareness during freefall. It emits a series of audible tones at pre-set altitudes, allowing the skydiver to track their descent without needing to constantly monitor a visual altimeter.
This altimeter is known for its ease of use and programmability. Users can typically set multiple alarm altitudes to correspond with different stages of a skydive, such as deployment altitudes for main and reserve parachutes, or warning altitudes. The tones emitted are distinct and easily recognizable, even amidst the noise of freefall.
The Solo II Audible Altimeter is often housed in a durable and impact-resistant casing, built to withstand the rigors of skydiving. It’s designed to be small and lightweight, minimizing any distraction or encumbrance to the skydiver. Power is usually supplied by a long-lasting, user-replaceable battery.
While primarily an audible device, some versions or related models might offer basic digital displays for ground readings or configuration. However, the core function remains the clear and timely audible altitude alerts, enhancing safety and situational awareness for skydivers.
