If an altimeter and an iPhone had sex, this is their baby !<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It’s The One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Review by Matt Boag<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it’s kinda funny how we all use all the super high-tech gadgets in our day to day lives but when we drive onto a dropzone it’s like we take a step back, until now… I’ve been jumping the Dekunu One since it was released in April this year. The Dekunu One is just like the name says, THE ONE!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a new revolutionised altimeter with ALL the extras. Including amazing features such as a touch screen interface, jump run with run-in speed (my personal fave), ALL your skydiving data – fastest speed, where you exited, where you opened, canopy flight path… AND YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A COMPUTER GEEK TO USE IT \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dekunu ONE<\/a> is not just another alti. It is an awesome piece of technology that is going to take the sport to a whole new level, and I love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many jumps have you done on yours?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over 300 jumps now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you have a previous model, if so, what\u2019s new?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the first model produced by Dekunu. It constantly updates itself every few weeks. So it feels like a new model every time I go jumping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did have a prototype 10 earlier but this device is on a whole new level. I was lucky enough to test the Prototype 9 at Funny Farm 2016, so I\u2019ve kinda been using them since the beginning \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Device<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who is it suitable for?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

All disciplines from flatty, freefly, wingsuit and canopy pilots!! There\u2019s even a BASE mode coming out soon and there are rumours of using it for other air sports too! I\u2019d recommend having at least 50 + jumps for the newbies keen to buy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favourite feature?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hands-down the jump run direction and run-in speeds on the display. I get around to a lot of new DZs and this feature helps me a a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How does it enhance your skydives?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It gives you real time feedback of what you’re actually doing on your skydives; with this info you can learn and progress a lot faster and more safely.<\/p>\n\n\n
