Neptune or Pro Track?

Recommended Posts

Quote

Looking to buy one or the other. For those who have used both which are you more happy with?



I'm very happy with my Pro-Track. The Neptune is pretty cool too!

However, I have a friend who's done many jumps with both a Pro-Track and a Neptune. The jump data he got, was very different on the Pro-Track and the Neptune.

I dunno about the level of customer service provided by Alti-2 since I don't have a Neptune, but I do know that the customer service of Larsen & Brusgaard is outstanding.

If you only want an audible, i don't personally think the neptune has any advantage, the protrack is well proven, and everyone knows about their customer service. If you like the neptune's features, get it. I'm thinking about getting a neptune, but there's no way I'll get it until they get the software finished.

I have been very happy with my neptune so far. One HUGE advantage I think it has over any product out there at the moment is the ability to update the firmware.

That been said, what are you looking to use it for? If for a visual altimeter then definately, it's very very nice.

So far my customer service has been great with Alti-2, granted L&B's is good too(I have a pro-ditter), but so far I've been given no reason to think that Alti-2 isn't going to provide the same level.

Good luck with your decision.

why is it not incuded in the list, what do ppl think about it ect...



Because he isn't considering buying it, he said he wants either one or the other. Skytronix is supposedly a "lower end" pro-dytter. Ive never seen one or used one so thats sort of an assumption. im sure it works fine though.

The Skytronic a hassle to use, customer service is non-existant, and I went through 3 of them in a matter of a year, with 3-4 months being the average time to get one repaired or replaced.>:(

I got to use it a total of 15 times in the year that I messed with one.

So now I keep a ProTrack in my helmet and a Neptune on my wrist and I couldn't be happier.

I have both, and my choice goes with the Neptune. I use mine as an altimiter, but if I started over from scratch I would have bought one for an audible, they are cheaper than the pro-trac and have more features. And they are waterproof, also like it has been mentioned, they are updateable. Look at both of them and make up your mind.

How much are they selling for in the US? They're pretty new, and I can't find them here.

Its been a great feature since the damm SW needs updating every week it seems!:S

Looks like it WILL be a good product, but right now, I'd wait. Just my 2 CDNcents

We carry both the ProTrack and the Neptune in my store. The Neptune was a little slow to take off, but now is picking up momentum.

Customer service is equally awesome with each company, so that's not been a deciding factor. I do think the price difference will continue to make the Neptune more attractive than the ProTrack. Not to mention that it's easier to navigate the set-up...
