Record-breaking precision

AltimeterOne and AltimeterThree have been used in world-record attempts for high-altitude kite flying. The 19-bit barometric pressure sensor detects altitude changes of less than one foot, giving you the precision you need for official records or personal bests.

3,015 ft flight recorded

AltimeterThree users regularly document high-altitude kite flights like this 3,015-foot session — a typical example of what's possible with good conditions and a steady hand on the line.
