Where Do You Wear Your Alti

Why an altimaster 2? It still works. I'll get something smaller and cooler when the 2 dies.

An Alti 2 can die? I have seen them survive bounces.

I have an Alti III on my left leg for RW
And Alti III on my wrist I use for students.

I don't know yet. I bought mine new in 1975 for $59 or something, and painted Mickey Mouse on the face (yes, folks, I was young). It's had a crystal fall off in freefall, and been dropped any number of times.

It's been mounted on 4 different rigs I've owned, and on conventional gear I didn't. I'm pretty used to having it on my chest. My mount is extremely basic, and hasn't failed me yet.

Maybe I'll keep it

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Alti II on my chest for FF. Alti III on my left wrist for RW.

Wendy I have a wrist mount for the Alti II I'd be glad to give you if you need it. I don't use it anymore.

I've got an Alti 2 as well, given to my by a fellow dz.commer (thanks Matt!!!!!) It works well, and has been looked after.

One of the riggers on the dz made a mount for me, it sits on the back of my hand, and it's quite comfy! I borrowed a wrist mounted one once, but my wrists are really skinny, and I found that it hurt that little bone that sticks out of your wrist.

Wendy,
They were $57.50 I think.

Dytters in each helmet,
Alti IIs on each rig at right leg strap. I have made special pillows to angle them the way I want. I got tired of putting it on my wrist.
This works for most everything, but if I do AFF I will put a wrist mount on (something I can show to the student if necessary).
Lastly, I still have my eyes, which are pretty good altimeters. The internal clock helps too.

I'm trying out the wrist mounted Alti III's these days, but on breakoff from RW I really MISS having that good old Alti II on my chest strap. Don't like having to look for something like a wristwatch in a track, with the old chest mount I only had to look down for a moment.

Anybody remember the days when people used to mount their II's on old beer cans ???
