The Altimaster Neptune 2 is the complete solution for altitude awareness. It's Waterproof, a Visual Altimeter, an Audible Altimeter, Freefall Computer, and Logbook. The Altimaster Neptune was designed in response to requests from pond swoopers wanting a waterproof altimeter, from AFF instructors wanting a digital readout, from jumpers who wanted an easier way to program their digital instruments.
Features: Digital GRAPHIC LCD display. Waterproof down to 6’ of water. Display automatically changes to GROUND, AIRCRAFT, FREEFALL and CANOPY modes. Selectable units, feet or meters. User friendly menu system. Automatic calibration for DZ altitude (manual override is available). 30,000 feet MSL altitude range. Logbook maintains total jumps, total freefall time, and a full set of statistics of the last 200 jumps. Logs CRW jumps. Infrared interface for downloading log to a laptop. Software updates will be available from our website, no need to send your unit to us for updates. Four groups of personalized audible alarm settings, each group has three programmable alarms. Altitude is measured 16 times a second to ensure accuracy. Display can be electronically flipped to allow a handmount to be worn on left or right hands. Sleep mode extends battery life. Electroluminescent backlight. Training mode simulates normal freefall and descent rate for normal deployment, high speed and low speed malfunctions. 
    The Neptune 2 now has Swoop Mode - not just for the pros anymore! Field tested by the PD Factory Team and our own test jumpers, Swoop Mode can help anyone concerned with safe canopy piloting. Swoop mode gives you three programmable "chirps" under canopy, in addition to your normal freefall alarms. Swoopers: No more flatline alarm under canopy! Swoop Mode prevents the Neptune from going back into freefall mode once you've opened. This means no screaming flatline alarm in your ear during aggressive maneuvers. Wingsuit jumpers: It is possible that you can fly slow enough to convince Neptune you are under canopy. If you have Swoop Mode active and you fly slow enough to switch to canopy mode in freefall, the third flat-line freefall alarm will be disabled even though you are still in freefall!! The first two freefall alarms will function normally. Swoop Mode can be easily disabled by turning off swoop alarms. When you're not doing a wingsuit jump, you can turn it back on with the touch of a button! Uses 1 commonly available CR2450 battery.
Headgear clip and hand mount are included.
