If you're going to include the one from HobbyKing (didn't know about that one until your listing), then the micro altitude sensor from Eagle Tree Systems, which can also function as a standalone device given some power - like the HK unit - ought to be added. https://www.eagletreesystems.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=64&product_id=60

I have actually flown this as a rocket altimeter on a few occasions before getting some rocket-specific units and still have one in one of my field boxes.

There are some still in the dealer pipeline. I was able to buy two G-Wiz LCX units earlier this year (the Comanche 3 required 5 flight computers). As I understand it, no more are being produced, sadly.

That's what I figured might be the case

I've removed them from the list, as they're not readily available.

I have both ordered and received product through AMWProX.com (AMW nozzles, Estes Pro kit and Cesaroni hardware); IIRC, no shipping info, product just showed up.

I do know that Robert is still "out there" and that the AMW/CTI sales are still going through, but that doesn't answer the question about Pico - ARE they still actually available? It seems like no one has been able to get any response about these alts in a long time.

Well, how about another one... If you have the Missileworks WRC+ as a remote event control listed then you should also have the Transolve TripleFire (I know these are available as I ordered and received one earlier this year).

The altimeter I'm working on (called AltiLogger) is not available yet, but it is close to being released so you can add it to the list if you want to (more info and pictures at https://www.facebook.com/flytrak)

How close? If it's within 2 or 3 months, I'll add it now. If it's going to be longer, give me a heads up when you get close and I'll add it.

I'm looking at about 6 weeks to be ready for production, then another 2-3 weeks for the first units to be ready to ship, so about 8-9 weeks in total, if nothing unexpected comes up.

Here is AltimeterThree getting ready for flight testing. A _long_ time coming, but the Bluetooth ↔ Apple integration part has been quite something (though Android was not too hard). In fact, the hardware is finished already, including the final cases. The nice thing about this generation of product is that the software can be quickly updated with enhancements by just pressing a button on your phone.

Cool, John - please keep me posted, as I'll include it as well.

Woo! Looking forward to this one.

I'm quite surprised at the length of the list of all the altimeters, that's awesome!

Let me get this straight: You can download the flight files via bluetooth and install updates via bluetooth as well?

Yes, that's right.

The AltimeterThree is the same length and just *slightly* thicker than the current AltimeterOne and AltimeterTwo, but it includes a very nice graphic display and a battery that has about 4X the capacity as before. We're also flowing those enhancements down to the AltimeterOne and AltimeterTwo. One "bonus" feature to the new line of products is that they will all fit into a new snap-in quick mount we've created. So if you have a payload bay you can snap the altimeter quickly into and out of all of your rockets. Or you can still just tie it in.

By the way, see the "recording time" display in the AltimeterThree above? You also see that on your phone--while your rocket is on the pad! No more "I wonder if my battery is dead?" You see a real-time display (updated from the altimeter every second, not just simulated) that displays the recording time and battery gauge.

There is other goodness, too, but that's enough for now. Time to flight test!

WELL.....I would be happy to help with the testing. Since we're in the middle of a cold spell lets see what it's thermal limits are (WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE)!
 
I'm working on compiling a list of all the altimeters and timers currently available, as well as things that are close to being released.

Kevin, I expect to be able to ship TeleMetrum v2 sometime in January. Depending on how long it takes you to put the list together, perhaps including that makes sense? I just realized I haven't updated the web site with specs on the new boards yet.

TeleMini v2 is also coming along well but we don't have a target data for releasing it yet.

Thanks, Bdale - I've put the TeleMetrum on the list. I've got a lot of info to collect, yet. I'll add the TeleMini when it gets closer.

Didn't realize there were so many. That's awesome. Great list!

I'm working on compiling a list of all the altimeters and timers currently available, as well as things that are close to being released. In addition, I need contact information for the manufacturer (website is fine).

Would it be too much of a pain at this point to add functionality? like

A = apogee
R = recording (data versus time)
D = deployment
T = telemetry
