Newbie 0 #1 November 11, 2005 I'm dying to know what this thing performs like. The price is damn good - £100 - and seriously thinking about picking one up. Anyone used one, or know someone that has. I'm particularly interested in how the LED works. "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanHarrop 42 #2 November 11, 2005 You should be able to find something with a search. There was a bunch of them loaned to the deaf folks recently during the DWR and I recall some posts about the L&B products after that."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie 0 #3 November 11, 2005 did try a search, the only thing i came up with was a post i made several months back before they were out, if anyone was looking into getting them. Please feel free to link me to anything if you managed to find anything though. Many thanks. "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mx757 4 #6 November 12, 2005 I used them at the Deaf World record jumps recently in Lake Wales FL. Mads was kind enought to send ten Optima for us to try. 5 had Red LEDs and 5 had Sqaure LCD that you could see though. the LCD would flash a blueish color and it would change it flash patterns for different attlutudes. it could be set to three different warning alerts in incredments of 10 feet. I had my fist warning set to 5000 as our planned break off was 4,500 and 2nd warning at 3000 feet and final warning 2000 but as I said you can set them to any height you want. also under canopy they flash at 1000 feet and 500 feet. they are really Nice I loved mine. the LCD works better with a enclosed helment the LED works great with googles or frap hat. Hats off to Mads for sending us these to try out. Buy one you'll LIKE it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
