New Altimiter StrattologgerCF?

StratoLOGGER

It records the flight data for later viewing, unlike the cheaper options. Those altimeters just handle deployment and report peak altitude.

just read on their website it is the replacement for the stratoLogger SL100 it is priced on the website for 54.00

I don't see where it says that it's the replacement of SL-100?

It sounds like it's meant for those extreme flights at BALLS.
MD with very little room for electronics.

Besides the SL-100 can store up to 35 flights not 16

SL100 product page says: This product has been replaced by the StratoLoggerCF altimeter

What is the advantage of this over the RRC2+ or the Adept22, which are cheaper?

It is smaller.

Ooh! Ooh! I went to Perfectflite Direct today to order a new SL100, but then guess what I saw there instead?
Just ordered a CF model...

The main difference is the new physically smaller StratoLoggerCF costs ~$25 less than the older SL-100 version. Since the altimeter is good to 100 kft, PF also increased the maximum record length from 9 minutes to 18 minutes while reducing the number for flights in memory from 32 to 16 which is a good thing because if you do get to 100 kft, and you come down at an average of 10 kft/minute, you don't have a main deployment record when the maximum record length is 9 minutes......

It's nice having a smaller altimeter, and I like the cheaper price, but I'm going to miss the amplified, external beeper. Too bad he couldn't have kept that connector on the replacement (it's worth a few extra bucks). Having that loud speaker has helped me locate a rocket more than once.

I set up my Stratologger CF's today for a Saturday launch. Only had one issue with the set up, the old SL100 software would not set up the CF. You need to down load the current Perfectflite Data Cap program from the Perfectflite website; https://www.perfectflite.com/Downloads/Download Program/Windows/PerfectFlite DataCap.exe

The new software can be used for the SL100, CF & Pnut. The CF has all the function of the SL100 and it's small size makes it easier and neater to configure the Av-bay.

Good to know - thanks! I have not programmed mine yet but I'll make sure to download the newest version when the time comes.

Got my CF in the mail a few weeks ago. VERY nice looking altimeter! It'll work perfectly (haha) as a backup in my 54mm MD.
