Looking to buy Altimeter

[MadMe]

Hi everyone.

I'd like to buy an altimeter, and considering it will be the first time I will be using one, any kind will do. I would prefer to be at least a single deployment one.

Thanks in advance.

Look at adept rocketry. They have then for 30 bucks or so.

Ok, thanks.

But as I could see, no shipping outside US.... I'm from Romania.

I've got one of the new, PerfectFlite Stratologger altimeters, and it's about as user friendly and reliable an altimeter as you could ask for. Also, for a little more $$$, the Featherweight Raven and Av-Bays are a really seemless combo. The data off of a Raven is incredible, but you can drop it in a rocket av-bay without hooking it up to a computer at all.

I'm not interested in them being extra light, I make pretty powerful motors, I think the Perfectflite would be ideal for me. SO, is yours for sale?

You can not go wrong with either a raven or perfect flight, but I would recommend an adept. It $39.

I can only recommend to you the Altimax series.
German quality product, designed and made in Germany, fantastic precision and versatility (pyro, servo). To be honest, I am a user and not the owner, so this is not advertisement but my conviction, best altimeters worldwide. And cheap.

Of course you may need some help it is all in German..send Louis a mail he will help.

Nobody has a second hand altimeter with dual or single deployment? Advance payment....

[MadMe]

C'mon guys, I really need a single / dual deployment altimeter...

[MarkH]

I have an extra Perfect Flight Hi alt 45k that I paid about $80 for. http://www.apogeerockets.com/dual_event_altimeter.asp.

It is no longer in production. I've used it about 5 times. Still works with no problems. I'll let it go for $40, plus international shipping which looks to be about $14 to Romania. PM me if interested.

[chadrog]

Wow, that's an awesome deal - I got dibs if he doesn't want it!

Thx a bunch

I received the altimeter today, it looks to be in good condition. Thanks you for the business.

[MarkH]

I was beginning to wonder, but hey that only took 4 weeks

[Oliver]

Ok, thanks.

But as I could see, no shipping outside US.... I'm from Romania.

I noticed you already ordered one. But in general, there are some European distributors out there selling US brands. So you may not order in the US in any case.

Greetings,

Oliver

[MadMe]

Hello again.

It seems i find myself in need of a new altimeter, since the one from Mark H became 2 un-useful halfs of altimeter
So, any kind will do, as long as it's functioning and has apogee deployment capabilities

P.S. See the launch video below:

Perhaps he'd be willing to ship to you?

The altimeter is a little to "capable" for my taste :P

I'm looking for something more likely to fit in my student budget

Thx for the suggestion, anyway

I used a couple of the adept 22 altimeters last weekend as backups. They worked perfectly.

@MadMe-- be sure to ground test your altimeter and ejection charge combination before using them. You may need to make a small vacuum chamber to test the altimeter.

Good Luck!

Oh, I did, and the altimeter worked just fine, but the parachute cord snapped :|

The Adept 22 has already been mentioned. Adept itself doesn't ship outside of the US, but there are some resellers that offer it too:
http://rocketrywarehouse.com/product...roducts_id=356
http://www.cdimodelrocketry.com/prod...p?prod=ADEPT22

The Altimax G2 Simply, that was inspired by the Adept 22, is similar but a bit more expensive.

The documentation and homepage is in German, but the device is simple enough that online translation services should be feasible.

Well, rocketrywarehouse sales dept emailed me and said no shipping to Romania, and cdimodelrocketry has no stock, so i can't order

I'll have 2 try my luck with the German guys :|

[Polyalcoholic]

Have you tried to order directly from Adept?

[MadMe]

Problem solved, Mark H was kind enough to help me again, he will order the adept 22 for me

[MadMe]

Pushing this up, since i find myself in need of an altimeter again..

So, anyone willing to sell a used one...i'll be waiting

[Derek]

what are you doing to these altimeters?!?

[MadMe]

what are you doing to these altimeters?!?

Well, my first one got split in 2 halves due to a crash, and the second one was forever lost, along with the entire rocket,
witch was never found after it's first flight... :|
