AltimeterFour, any word on it?

[TNmike]

Should be an awesome product

I'm still hitting refresh on their website everyday.

I didn't know he was working on a fourth version.

 

[Zeus-cat]

What does it do that previous versions don't do?

 

[TNmike]

It's going to be LITTLE for one thing

If you look on the JL home page you can see a prototype partly visible in the upper right. It looks to be a bit smaller than an SD card. I expect it'll talk bluetooth. Should be fun.

Just scroll down a little for a preview picture; will weigh about 1 gram :jaw:

I am looking for a JLCR with at least Alt-1 functions. That would be nice

 

[qquake2k]

Altimeter and chute release in one? That would be cool.

I think I heard someone, maybe John Bean himself, say he was shooting for December, 2017. I don't think he will put them on the market until they are well tested and he is convinced they are a very solid product. This is so unlike most manufacturers who hurry a product to market, only to embarrass themselves with recalls, various hangups and failures.

 

[TNmike]

Any news on A4? I'm sure he won't release it until he is sure it's an exceptional product?

 

[GrouchoDuke]

Still hoping to see it soon.

No news yet. Several fundamental changes/improvements. Same specs.

Will it dispense candy?!

That would be awesome. A few sweet treats for the walk back..

 

[TNmike]

Thanks John, I knew you were "on it"! Looking forward to a great product.

The answer is yes with the optional Pez mounting bracket.

Thanks for chiming in, John. There are lots of people excited about it.
