SOLAR-POWERED AUDIO VARIOMETER
CONCENTRATED PERFORMANCE IN AN ULTRA-LIGHT INSTRUMENT
Equipped with the very latest generation of sensors from the drone industry, the BipBip PRO V2 is an audio vario with unrivalled responsiveness. Thanks to its high-capacity battery and high-performance solar cell, it will accompany you for the duration of your flights. The acoustics of the BipBip PRO V2 can be adapted to suit everyone, thanks to a wide volume range. The tone of the beeps is balanced and soft. You'll be flying stress-free, without compromising on efficiency.
Its many customisable parameters mean it can be totally adapted to your flying style. Whether you're into cross-country or cross-country flying, this concentrate of technology, made in France, will never leave your equipment.
Always on top.
- UNRIVALLED RESPONSIVENESS
The most responsive in its category.
Equipped with the latest technology straight from the UAV industry (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) such as drones, the new pressure sensor built into the BipBip PRO V2 provides ultra-fast measurement of the pressure in the air. (128 times per second).
This centimetric pressure measurement (1cm resolution) is processed by a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) which we have developed for the specific needs of free flight. It enables precise calculation 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 make the most of every climb.
- SUNPOWER TECHNOLOGY
Unlimited flying time thanks to solar power.
With its impressive 193mW SunPower solar cell, the BipBip PRO V2 is completely self-sufficient in energy, whatever the settings (volume, descent alarm, LED, etc.). Solar energy is stored in the BipBip PRO V2's internal battery, which has a huge capacity, allowing it to operate for up to 400 hours without sunlight. The solar cell recharges the BipBip PRO V2 continuously whenever it's in the sun, so its autonomy is unlimited.
This new, thinner and more discreet solar cell is reinforced with a robust layer of PET/EVA, giving it high protection against impacts and scratches.
Mini varios have a reputation for having an aggressive sound. So to help you fly with peace of mind, we've developed exclusive acoustics that deliver beeps that are always gentle on the ear. The BipBip PRO V2 incorporates an audio synthesiser sound generation and produces sounds with an ADSR sound envelope, making the beeps pleasant and intuitive.
For even greater comfort, you can choose from five volume levels, including a silencer + flashing LED. The BipBip PRO V2 adapts to your use, whether on the helmet (even full-face), the shoulder, the riser, the cockpit, etc... And its volume can be changed with a single click during flight without missing a single beep.
Tests carried out at 1013.25hPa 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.
- long, progressive beeps for precise rate-of-climb information.
- short beeps for simple, effective ascendancy information.
- slow integration gives a damped and averaged vario, for a better understanding of the information. Ideal for weak ascents with a wide turn radius.
- quick integration for almost instantaneous, fast vario. Ideal for leeward, choppy thermals that are difficult to exploit.
- TAKE-OFF DETECTION
You take off. The vario is activated.
A feature previously only available on instruments designed for competition, take-off detection enables the vario to be activated only after take-off. So with the BipBip PRO V2, pre-flight and waiting for optimum conditions at the take-off point are carried out without distraction.
If required, the ground vario can be activated by simply changing the volume. It is also possible to completely deactivate take-off detection via the configuration menu.
- LOW LIFT DETECTOR
Never miss a thermal again.
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)They're not strong enough to roll up, but they'll help you find the nearest thermal.
In the image, the pilot in grey has not activated the low lift detector function, whereas the pilot in green has activated it. When he arrives in the zone of weak lift, the buzzer beeps slightly, allowing him to search for the core of the thermal.
- ULTRA COMPACT & ULTRA LIGHT
Smaller and lighter than a matchbox.
Even more compact, robust and scratch-resistant than its predecessors, the BipBip PRO V2 is an ultralight audio vario.
Its featherweight 26g means you can leave it on your equipment at all times, whether you're on a quiet morning flight, a bivouac or a long technical cross-country.
Its multiple settings and possible uses make it indispensable both for paragliders making progress and for competitors looking for a reliable vario they can always rely on.
They are also designed with ease of repair in mind: we offer spare parts if you need them.
All our instruments come with a two-year guarantee.
We are also fortunate to be surrounded by a community of passionate pilots who contribute greatly to improving our products and making them ever more effective. Developed with the help of some of France's greatest paragliding pilots, at legendary hang-gliding sites (Annecy, Saint Hilaire du Touvet, Gourdon, Organya), they are the guarantee of quality instruments.
