Review Summary

The altimeter is generally well-regarded for its functionality and ease of use, performing reliably even after significant impacts, though it requires proper setup like drilling holes for pressure readings. However, there are concerns about the durability of the attachment bracket, with multiple users reporting it breaking after minimal use, leading to loss of the device. Additionally, some users noted challenges with obtaining compatible batteries in certain regions and the risk of losing the device during flights.

Estes Altimeter

By: Vbarbarino

This altimeter works great, especially for the price. I use it on my Aerotech rockets and have had no issues with it. Make sure to read the directions and drill holes in the rocket so the altimeter can read the atmospheric pressure.

Estes Model Rocket Altimeter

By: charliemoss

Although this altimeter is easy to use, the attachment bracket at the end of the casing is very fragile. I have owned two of these. The bracket on the first one broke off on the fifth flight causing the altimeter to be lost. The bracket on the second one broke off the first time I used it. Not worth the low price.
