very cheap altimeter
 

hello, i want to know how high i'm flying, and maybe someone know some cheap altimeters which record altitude or something similar? i don't need something expensive, max. price about 15$, if there aren't any cheap altimeters, then maybe i'll try to build something with arduino

You may find something with the electric glider threads. Look under ALES Altitude limited electric sailplanes. $15 is pretty cheap, there may not be anything that cheap, but there could be.

then i'll try to build something with arduino, with parts from china, the cost might be about 7-10$

oh, and also, if i can't measure altitude now, maybe someone can guess it?

Raz,

Those photos look like about 1,200 Feet above ground..

Based on object size, and looking down from thousands of skydives..

TEBerg,

wow, I was predicting much less :D something about 500-700 feet

Hi Razzion,

It is very subjective looking at a photo from a camera pointing in front of your aircraft. You may be lower, like 700 feet.
I'm just guessing.

For your reference; here is a photo looking down from about 1,000 feet above Madera, California.

At least two TX RX setups use a telemetry download setup.

Plug in something like this Jeti Telemetry Sensor Altimeter MAlti EX

And you have a readout on the tx lcd screen for more money you can have a talking tx telling you the altitude.

Gonna blow your 15$ budget though.
