SOLAR AUDIO VARIOMETER

CONCENTRATED PERFORMANCE IN AN ULTRALIGHT INSTRUMENT

Equipped with the latest generation of sensors from the drone industry, the BipBip PRO V2 is an audio variometer with unrivaled reactivity. This ultralight instrument will be your flight companion with unlimited flying times thanks to a large internal battery and a high performance solar cell. The acoustics of the BipBip PRO V2 is adjustable with a wide range of volume output. The tone of the beeps is balanced and soft. You'll fly stress-free, without compromising on efficiency.
Its many customizable parameters allow it to totally adapt to your flying style. Whether you’re an avid XC pilot or a hike&fly enthusiast, this concentrated technology made in France will never leave your paragliding gear.
Always on top.

The most reactive in its class.

Equipped with the latest technology directly from the UAV industry (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) such as drones, the new pressure sensor integrated in the BipBip PRO V2 enables ultra-fast pressure sampling (128 times per second).
This centimetric pressure measurement (1cm resolution) is processed by a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) that we have developed for the specific needs of free flight. The result is an ultra accurate and fast response time of altitude and vertical speed.

In its category (vario with pressure sensor only), this exclusive technology makes the BipBip PRO V2 the most responsive vario, allowing you to get the best out of every thermal.

Unlimited flight time thanks to solar energy.

With its high performance SunPower solar cell of an impressive 193mW, the BipBip PRO V2 is totally autonomous in energy whatever the settings (sound volume, sink alarm, LED, etc.). The extra solar energy is stored in the internal battery of the BipBip PRO V2 and its great capacity allows a runtime of 400h without sun. The solar cell charges the BipBip PRO V2 as soon as it is under the sun (on or off), its autonomy is thus unlimited.

This new solar cell is thinner and more rugged thanks to an extra layer of PET/EVA, protecting it against drops and scratches.

More than just beeps
EXCLUSIVE ACOUSTICS
Much more than just beeps.
The BipBip PRO V2 integrates a brand new onboard buzzer and a tailor-made amplifier especially designed to produce a loud and clear sound. We offer you an unequalled sound volume range (95dB at maximum volume), without even a dent in the run time.

Mini variometers have the reputation of having a harsh tone. In order to allow you to fly in complete serenity, we have developed exclusive acoustics that delivers sweet tones to the ear. The BipBip PRO V2 has an onboard audio synthesizer to generate sound with envelope modulation (known as ADSR), producing intuitive and enjoyable beeps.
Loud and clear
EXCLUSIVE ACOUSTICS
Loud and clear.
We made a quick benchmark on sound volume of various mini variometers on the market and the result is impressive. A difference up to more than 20dB, meaning a volume 4 times louder for the BipBip PRO V2.

For even more comfort, you can choose from five volume levels, including a silent with blinking LED. The BipBip PRO V2 adapts to your use, whether on the helmet (even full face), shoulder strap, riser, cockpit, etc... And its volume can be changed in a jiffy during flight with a simple click on the button, without missing a single beep.

Tests carried out at 1013.25hPa in initial pressure then simulation of altitude variation at +2m/s for 10s, i.e. 0.23452hPa/s, at maximum volume. Measurements in dBA with UNI-T UT353 decibel meter.

A vario that adapts to your flying style
VARIO PROFILES & CUSTOMIZATION
A vario that adapts to your flying style.
Whether you are looking for uncompromising performance, or more interested in contemplating the sun set, we've got you covered. The settings available let you tune the instrument to your style with new advanced settings, as well as two audio profiles:
  1. long and progressive beeps for more detailed information during the lift.
  2. short beeps for a clean and effective lift information.
Loud and clear
VARIO PROFILES & CUSTOMIZATION
Your own rhythm.
We have developed a new exclusive filtering algorithm for paragliding that allows you to choose the response time that is best for you.
  1. Long integration time gives a more dampened, more integrated response for a better understanding of the lift information. Ideal for weak Winter thermals with wide turn radius.
  2. Short integration time has an almost instantaneous response. Ideal for chopped down thermals or lee side during Spring.

Take off, the vario beeps.

A feature previously only available on instruments designed for competition, the takeoff detection mutes the vario until takeoff. Thus, with the BipBip PRO V2, pre-flight check and waiting for optimal conditions are distraction free (and for your buddies too).

If necessary, the vario can be activated on the ground by simply changing the volume. It is also possible to completely deactivate the takeoff detection through the configuration menu.

Don't miss a thermal.

The sound of the BipBip PRO V2's weak lift detector is made up of short modulations indicating weak lift (from -30cm/s to +10cm/s), not worth turning but can give you a hint of a stronger thermal nearby.

In the picture, the pilot in grey has not activated the weak lift detector. The pilot in green has activated it, and when he reaches a weak lifting area, the buzzer helps him to search for the thermal core.

Smaller and lighter than a matchbox.

Even more compact, rugged and scratch resistant than its predecessors, the BipBip PRO V2 is an ultra-light audio vario.

Its featherweight of 26g will allow you to always leave it on your equipment, whether for calm morning flights, bivouac flights or long technical cross-country flights.

Its multiple settings and possible uses make it indispensable for the beginner paraglider as well as for the competitor in search of a reliable vario on which he can always rely.

BipBip PRO V1 or V2, what are the differences?

The BipBip PRO V1 was sold from November 2020 to December 2022. It was then replaced by the BipBip PRO V2.
The BipBip PRO V2 has our new vario algorithm that further improves its reactivity. It has a USB-C port where you can plug in a headset or earphones with our USB-C to Jack 3.5mm adapter. The BipBip PRO V2 is thus in conformity with the European standard regarding the directive on the universal charger.
