Description

ColorAlti 2 LED Audible-Visual Skydiving Altimeter

Now made in an anodized aluminum case, includes audible alarms and features the FDS Logbook!

Freefall Data Systems took the idea of peripheral vision altitude awareness and started from scratch, developing an extremely flexible, user-friendly altimeter that enables you to gauge your altitude based on the color of a light in your peripheral vision as well as including audible alarm sounds.

This newest version includes a one-year subscription to FDS Logbook! After the 1st year, the FDS Logbook app is currently $20USD per year.

Available in 3 different LED light configurations:

StickyLight 2A

StickyLight 2A is an adhesive circuit board with 3 LEDs that mounts to your skydiving helmet’s visor. It was conceived to be the most minimally invasive StickyLight ever produced, with wires measuring only 2 millimeters thick in most places of peripheral vision. It contains three individually addressable LEDs that protrude like tear drops from above the jumper’s right eye. The integrated clip can be used to provide additional strain relief to the cable and keep it in place. Fits almost any closed-face helmet.

StickyLight 2B

For those who want a bit more light coverage, these StickyLights contain 10 LEDs that extend on a stem above the jumper’s right eye. StickyLight 2B also has a very minimal footprint for the light coverage it provides thanks to its sleek design. The integrated clip can be used to provide additional strain relief to the cable as well as keep it in place. Fits almost any closed-face helmet.

FlexiLight 2

These flexible gooseneck lights can be bent into shape and keep their form once installed. They utilize the same proven rigid construction of the original FlexiLight from ColorAlti®, but have four individually addressable LEDs instead of one single RGB LED. These lights can be used for both open- and closed-face helmets.
