Mark Your LZ

Use the app to create a marker for your LZ and send it to the Insight. Or mark the LZ directly on your Insight. The Insight will use this information to assist you on your skydive.

Spotting from the aircraft

On the climb the Insight switches itself to the aircraft screen: altitude in the centre, with ground track, groundspeed, distance to your saved LZ and vertical speed around it.

Configure Your Display

Keep it simple with large altitude, front and center (the default). Or get advanced and configure the display to show any of 7 other informational fields. Extra information can be shown during freefall, canopy flight, or both.

When the pressure sensor sits in a burble, GPS altitude data helps correct the reading in freefall and under canopy.

  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.
