FlySight 2 Audible GPS

FlySight 2 Audible GPS.

FlySight 2 is a complete redesign, building on all the things learned with FlySight 1.

The FlySight 2 starts with all the original FlySight features:

• Real-time audible feedback using tones and speech
• Review of data after the jump using the same applications you've used with FlySight 1

And then the FlySight 2 includes these new features:

• More powerful processor with Bluetooth Low Energy radio
• Improved audio quality
• Additional sensors (acceleration, rotation, orientation, pressure, humidity, temperature)
• Water resistant case (IP67)
• USB C

Initially, the functionality of FlySight 2 will be similar to FlySight 1, but as with the original, the manufacturer will be improving FlySight 2 with free firmware updates. The first priority once will be to work with mobile application developers to build an interface to transfer data and configure FlySight 2.

FlySight 2 can log GNSS at a rate of up to 25 Hz, pressure up to 200 Hz, and acceleration and rotation up to 6 kHz. Looking ahead, this data will be used to provide information about the unit's orientation during a jump, as well as to improve the accuracy of distance measurements over short time spans, e.g., shortly after exit.

Included in the box with FlySight 2:

• FlySight 2
• FlySight 2 mount
• USB A to USB C cable
• Mounting hardware (both VHB tape and screws are included)
• FlySight bottle opener for releasing FlySight 2 from the mount

The FlySight 2 is "unlocked," which allows the user to go back and forth between the official firmware and third-party firmware.

Notes on mount compatibility between the Flysight 1 and FlySight 2:

The FlySight 2 has the same footprint as the FlySight 1, so it is compatible with the FlySight 1 aluminum mounts as well as the Cookie FlySight mount. However, it is not compatible with mounts like the one from Adrenaline Workshop, which enclose the entire unit, as the new case is a little taller on one end than the old one.

The new FlySight 2 Mount is not compatible with FlySight 1 units. The FlySight 2 slides onto posts at the front of the new mount, then rotates down and clicks into place at the back like a ski boot. The FlySight 2 is released by pulling back on the tab, either by hand or using the included tool.

The curve on the bottom of the FlySight 2 mounts is the same as the original FlySight 110/110 mounts, which should fit most helmets. Unfortunately, it was not possible to produce this new mount with several different curvatures, but the manufacturer is looking into 3D printed spacers to adapt the mount for helmets with different shapes.
