Stratos
Tactical GPS Altimeter

The Stratos is a pressure altimeter with an integrated GPS for spotting, canopy navigation and GPS track recording. It is designed and tested to operate in high altitude, low temperature (HALT) environments, and connects wirelessly to HUD glasses, the Soundlink audible altimeter and the Deep and Steep app.

  • Pressure altitude to 50,000 ft MSL
  • HARP and DIP navigation
  • MGRS or lat/lon coordinates
  • Drop tested
  • Operates down to −40 °C (−40 °F)
  • Water resistant, 1 m for 30 minutes

Jumpmaster Tools

Integrated GPS

Excellent reception in many types of aircraft, as well as in freefall and under canopy.

GPS markers

Up to 100 named markers for HARP and DIP locations. How it works

Distance to HARP

Distance to HARP displayed in chosen units (miles, kilometers, nautical miles).

ETE to HARP

Estimated time enroute to the HARP.

Groundspeed

Groundspeed displayed while in the aircraft and on jumprun.

G-Serve (GPS Server)

GPS Signal Assist

Purpose built firmware to provide GPS assistance in the aircraft.

Position

Place the Stratos near a window for best signal. It will relay for up to 3 other devices.

Switchover

Connected Stratos will automatically switch to internal GPS after exit.

Preload Satellites

Connected Stratos will download satellite data to find signal more quickly.

Remote LZ Operations

Altitude offset

Set the DIP elevation in relation to takeoff site. How it works

Pressure (QFE)

Enter the DIP pressure in millibars. How it works

MGRS or lat/lon

Enter and read coordinates in MGRS or decimal-degree lat/lon. Display units

GPS Navigation

Speed, direction, distance to HARP and DIP.

Safety Notification

Canopy alert when current glide won’t reach the DIP.

Wireless

Engo HUD glasses

Altitude and navigation data in your line of sight, in freefall and under canopy1. HUD connect

Soundlink audible

Connects to our Soundlink audible altimeter1.

App connect

Transfer GPS tracks and logbooks to the Deep and Steep app. App connect

Off by default

Connectivity is disabled by default and whenever it is not in use, for security. Wireless connectivity

Power

Battery life

About 10 days of skydiving from a full charge2.

20-minute charge

Enough to get through an entire day of freefall training.

1.5 hour full charge

From 0% to 100% in about 1 hour 30 minutes.

USB-C

One port for charging, with USB Power Delivery, and for connecting to a computer for firmware updates.

Automatic shutdown

Turns itself off 14 hours after power-on, but never while you are still in the air.

  1. Engo HUD glasses and the Soundlink audible altimeter are sold separately.
  2. Battery life depends on the functions in use. The display light, GPS recording and wireless connections drain the battery more quickly.
