| | Great for gliders, to help find thermals | 2021-08-31
A great addon for BNF telemetry models that don’t come with an Altimeter.
| | Handy device | 2020-11-03
Very small compact unit and it does what it claims to do.
| | Spektrum Vario | 2019-07-30
It is original Spektrum product so 5 stars is the must :D :D :D
| | Works fine with dx18 gen 1 dsmx | 2018-11-07
Unit is easy to integrate with a DSMX 9 channel and tm1000. Works fine with a dx18 Gen 1. Just remember to use a ‘y’ to commect the bind plug and data plug from the tm1000 to the receiver. Sensitivity is good.
| | Competitive price | 2018-07-30
Works exactly as advertized. Requires some knowledge and familiarity of the concept by the user.
| | Spektrum Vario | 2018-07-02
Excellent vario - worked well as soon as fitted.
| | Spectrum vario | 2017-08-01
Great unit, my third now. Only way to find the light lift.

Does it work? YesIs it precise? SometimesDoes it work all the time? Not exactly.This variometer does function, however the accuracy and reliability of the unit is just not there all the time. Some times it functions properly and gives accurate feedback, yet other times this thing will go crazy and contradict actual flight. Yes I have tried relocating this unit to multiple locations inside the few aircraft I have equipped it with and have found the movement to result in negligible
| | Does the job | 2017-07-11
If you want to know the altitude of your aircraft this is the unit you need.

Works as advertised.

As I thought it would be this is the variometer sensor and the wire more than the photo shows

It is really fun using this item. It really tells you when you are gaining or losing altitude.

Just what I needed, and happy to find this in Amazon. Works as advertised, exactly the product I was looking for.
| | Clever stuff | 2016-08-03
Plug and play simplicity, paired easily with sender, rcvr and transmitter, (DX9) Sensitive!! Reads changes in pressure when sat stationary.

Performs as expected
| | Spektrum variometer | 2016-01-05
This variometer is a Great addition to the Telementry feature avaible on the Spektrum radios with the voice function . Not only does it tell you if you are climbing or descending , it also gives you your altitude . The transmitter can be programmed for the time intervals to report the altitude. It's good to know if you are climbing or decending , and it's a big help in finding thermals . All this info without taking your eyes off your glider or whatever aircraft you have the variometer

Authenticity of Reviews

Trustami is an independent service provider for the display of external reviews. Trustami imports customer ratings from third-party platforms.

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
