Delay-free variometer

Normal variometers have the disadvantage that climbing and sinking are always displayed with a slight time delay. With the Mini 5 GPS, data from various sensors is combined using a complex mathematical process, eliminating the time delay. Thanks to the delay-free display of climbing/sinking, finding and centering thermals is much easier than with a conventional variometer.

GPS logger

The XC Tracer Mini 5 simultaneously records IGC and KML files. The IGC files are recognized by the FAI for paragliding competitions. And you can view the KML files directly on Google Earth.

Excellent autonomy

Don't be surprised if you never have to recharge the vario during an entire season! The vario has a built-in highly effective solar cell and a lithium polymer battery, which when fully charged is sufficient for approximately 30 hours of continuous operation, including FLARM and FANET operation, data transmission via BLE, and recording of IGC and KML files. And since the battery recharges during flight via the solar cell, the autonomy is almost unlimited. The battery can also be charged using the supplied USB-C cable if necessary.

Safety first

The Mini 5 has a built-in FLARM and FANET that protects you from collisions. Your smartphone receives the FANET position signals of your buddies via the Bluetooth channel of your Mini 5 and displays them on your phone.

Bluetooth

The XC Tracer Mini 5 is equipped with a BLE 4.2 module (Bluetooth Low Energy). This makes it easy to connect to the vario or smartphone via BLE.

Simple

One button and that's it. The button is used to turn the device on and off and to change the volume from 0 (no sound) to 4 (loud).
