Syride Alti V4 is a lightweight, compact, and highly responsive altimeter and variometer designed for paragliding. It combines precise sensors, a clear display, customizable screens, and Bluetooth connectivity. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced pilots looking for a reliable flight instrument without unnecessarily complicated operation.
One of the key features of the V4 generation is its ability to connect to a smartphone. Through the Syride Link app, the instrument can use your phone's GPS data to display GPS altitude, ground speed, coordinates, and other information normally unavailable on variometers without a built-in GPS receiver.
