Default RE: skydiver equipped with an altimeter.

Hi Dave,

That's cool, the highest we have gone was 817m (2680 ft) and did a freefall of 40.3 seconds!! We used the Eagle Tree altimeter attached to the diver for that jump. I still want to repeat this with my Visio* attached to skydiver and see what stats we can get.

Camera footage would be nice let us know if you have it sorted. We've done a few camera jumps as well, always looks cool, have a look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CwpfeF4ysM


* Viso2: Is a skydive data logger, which tracks exit altitude, max freefall speed, deployment altitude and max speed under canopy. You must be above a 1000 ft AGL to activate it and freefall for at least 5 seconds.

Will keep you posted as soon as we have tested it!![8D]
