ColorAlti LED Skydiving Altimeter.
Freefall Data Systems took the idea of peripheral vision altitude awareness and started from scratch, developing an extremely flexible, user-friendly altimeter that enables you to gauge your altitude based on the color of a light in your peripheral vision.
Available in 4 different LED light configurations!
FlexiLight
- The standard flexible gooseneck-style light that can be positioned anywhere in your field of vision. While most useful when installed in open-face helmets, this original light created for ColorAlti can be used in many types of full-face helmets as well. The housing is rigid yet flexible and contains a single LED. The FlexiLight is the go-to light for flyers of all camera helmets.
C-Shaped StickyLight
- C-shaped LED light pattern that sticks to the inside of a full-face visor. Made for jumpers with full-face helmets who want LEDs both in their upper and lower peripheral vision. This can be useful under canopy, especially for those who have a visor stop (ex. for a camera) so that the lower lights are still visible when the visor is open. Works with all full-face helmets, including the G4, G3, KISS, Phantom X/XV, AERO, Dynamic, Fusion, TFX, etc.
5-LED Strip StickyLight
- Five LEDs on a single strip that can be placed according to your desire, but is generally placed horizontally above the jumpers eye. Designed for jumpers who primarily use ColorAlti in freefall.
2-LED Goggle StickyLight
- Originally conceived for goggles, the 2-LED StickyLight has become popular with full-face helmets as well for those prefering a more minimalist approach. It can be placed in many different locations on a visor or goggle.
Note: See more info on StickyLights and the installation in the video section at the bottom of this listing.
ColorAlti has the ability to provide a constant method of altitude awareness, whereas an audible altimeter generally only sounds during specific portions (the low end) of a skydive.
ColorAlti also allows the user to make the lowest freefall and canopy alerts flash if they desire; this has an additional attention-getting effect and makes the lowest alerts stand out. ColorAlti is extremely flexible in how it can be programmed and there are a truly enormous number of possible combinations of settings.
Key Features
- Free Bluetooth® wireless technology iOS/Android app for setting and gathering data from the altimeter
- Patent-pending technology provides continuous and immediate feedback of your altitude via the hue of a light in your peripheral vision
- Up to 8 freefall, canopy, and ascent alerts
- Ability to save an unlimited number of presets for quickly changing settings for different jump types.
- Super bright color LED can easily be seen with tinted goggles
- LED brightness and saturation can be adjusted
- 256 different hues
- Control unit easily fits in an audible altimeter pocket in your helmet
- Bendable gooseneck on FlexiLight LED light stays in place even at very high freefall speeds
- Logs jumps, canopy and freefall time
- Provides altitude and vertical speed graphs of your last jump (records up to 7 minutes of data), which can be saved to your photos for future reference or sharing with friends
- Rechargeable lithium polymer battery (USB cable included)
- Long battery life (approximately 200 jumps or 3 months)
- Low battery warning (a five-second red light) at 1,000 feet
- Always on
- Remembers your settings and data when the battery runs out
- Adjusts automatically to local elevation
- App can display in both feet and meters, mph and kph
- Wingsuit mode gives wingsuiters a more accurate assessment of their flight time and lowers the threshold of what is considered freefall from 80 mph to 40 mph
- Swoop mode makes certain that all freefall alerts are turned off below 1,500 feet and increases the threshold of what is considered freefall from 80 mph to 100 mph
- Speed Tracker feature for realtime feedback of approximate freefall vertical speed via color
- Landing zone altitude adjustments can be made for those landing at a different altitude than takeoff
- Designed to function up to approximately 30,000 feet

Great AltimeterNot only an audible but also a visible altimeter. Battery life is very good, lasting a few days for needing a charge/
It has unlimited altitude alarm settings and Up to 5 pre-sets.
Unlimited altitude alarm settings.
LEDs brightness can be adjusted, 33 different lights alerts and effects, alerts can be stored in pre-sets.
A little bit of a pain to get the bluetooth to sync with the phone but once they are connected it works good.
Great for coach jumps working with STUs.Posted on
