Classic Vario | Paragliding

Classic variometer for paragliding pilots with instant vario technology & sound.

Are you a paragliding or hang gliding pilot looking for an instant vario, an altivario, a gps vario or simply an all in one flight instrument? Our variometer integrates instant vario technology and calibration algorithms to get the most out of your phone sensors. And if your phone doesn’t have a barometer. Don’t worry, you can easily connect external varios via bluetooth or usb.

Beeps like a professional vario:

With the instant vario technology our phone vario gives you the acoustic feedback at the instant you’re feeling it while paragliding or hang gliding. Entering thermals, centering and finding the core is easily done without any significant delay. You can use predefined sounds and tones or fully customize your own vario sound using vario tone editors for leGpsBip or XCTracer. Setting lift, pre lift and sink tone thresholds is done with no more than a fingertip.

Multiple altimeter settings:

Our varios provide the full range of GNSS and barometric altitudes you come across while xc paragliding or hang gliding cross country including Flight Levels, QNH, QNE or QFE. You can easily set specific altitudes for your current location, start/landing sites or using the integrated lookup from METAR stations. GNSS altitudes (including GPS) such as the mean sea level and the WGS84 altitudes used in .igc files and .kml and for logging are provided as well.

Integrated Flight Book:

What is an epic xc flight without sharing among other pilot / paragliding buddies, friends or family around the table? Our phone variometer comes with an integrated flight book that keeps all of your flights at your fingertip. You can easily share and analyze your flights, have distances calculated or visualized in google maps and google earth. For xc flying / xc tracks, triangle, three turnpoint and one way distances are calculated continuously.

Live Tracking

Just turn on instant live tracking to fly with your paragliding buddies and see the latest location, altitude and distance flown so far. No need for extra accounts or signing up procedures. Minimum payload using compression.

GNSS Logger:

Our logger is precise and accurate supporting all global navigation satellite systems including GLONASS, GALILEO, GPS, … . Our logger is precise and accurate using not just GPS but any of the available satellites. Logging formats support .kml and .igc.
