3D printed colors

We have also other cool colors - Yellow, Green, Magenta, Neon green in PTEG material. Custom color combinations will be available.

 

While purchase - Please specify color of vario in a note.

 

hardshell case

Despite we managed production of hardshell cases for vario long time ago, they still haven't arrived due to conflict in the Red see, so the ship has to go around Africa via Cape of Good Hope instead of Suez. We will send this pocket to all adopters when we will get them.

S0 Early Bird Rev. 2504 erster Eindruck

Habe vor kurzem das Gerät erhalten. Danke an SkyBean für die schnelle Lieferung. Für mich löst dieses Gerät meinen Vorgänger Skydrop ab, da ich ein größeres Display benötige um die Daten wieder besser lesen zu können. Erfahrungen im Flug habe ich bislang noch nicht sammeln können aber mit der Lesbarkeit des Displays bin ich schon einmal sehr zufrieden. Bin schon auf die ersten Flüge und die weiteren Funktionen die noch implementiert werden gespannt.

First impressions are super good

I tried the new "SO" vario yesterday, the black and white display is huge, it is super readable in the sun, the vario has instant response, feels bombproof and ergonomic.
