Does this product meaure altitude gain or feet above sea level?

Altitude gain. Unit resets to zero each flight. Is it accurate? Can only guess but my calibrated eyeball says its pretty close.

Hello S_P. I own this Jolly Logic AltimeterOne. Before each flight, you press the red button to zero out the display. The Altitude displayed after you retrieve your model is in reference from where you launched it, not sea level. I love this handy little altimeter. I hope this helps.

It works with Air pressure to measure altitude gain. You set it at zero before launch and it reads the current pressure. Then it reads the pressure at maximum altitude and calculates feet. It is extremely accurate. I highly recommend this product. You may want to get a locator as well though. We did not and lost the rocket after about a dozen launches.

I am not able to provide you with that answer as the altimeter is now attached to a rocket which is stuck in a tall pine at the current moment. If a swift wind brings it down, maybe we will have an answer for you then. The new altimeter has not been launched yet.

I contacted the manufacturer who told me that these heaters do not work for elevations above 4500 feet. I'm surprised this isn't explained in the product description. Pretty important information, I think. Thanks everyone for all your helpful answers. I'm looking for another heating solution. Hard to beat this little heater!

It measures ground level zero wherever you press the lauch button, example,if you press the launch button on the ground it will calculate that as zero, if you press the launch button 3 feet off the ground it will calculate that as zero,i tried this, with a confirmed hight of 125 feet it was accurate at ground level and off 3 feet when launched at waist level,so I would say yes it should work fine

At my range there is a little mound the I use. Makes it higher. But on flat ground it is small. But works very well. From a 9 o'clock hold to a 8 o'clock hold.

it only goes up so high... Part of the determination of how high it is depends on the height of the surface it is mounted on.

I do not think so, but I am not sure. I have not seen anything with a reference to a barometric altimeter.LV

Yes, I live at an elevation of 5,280 ft. It works great for me...just brewed some iced tea up yesterday!

Katrina, I live about 1,500 feet above sea level (Southern California) so it works very well in my sunny area. I'm not sure how it would work as high as the Rockies, the manufacture should be able to help. Best of luck to you! Susan :)

According to the installation manual - There are DIP switches inside the device to adjust performance for altitude. It has different settings for 0-2000ft, 2000-4000ft and 4000-6000ft. Over 6000ft they advise you contact their technical department at 1-877-737-2840.

Yes, it works well in high altitudes, we live above 5800 feet and it works like a champ! i have it hooked up to a five gallon propane tank that I placed outside the house, just put a small hole through the wall or floor, installed a shutoff valve and used a hose from a propane bbq. Works wonderfully.

Not above 4000 feet it doesn't... I read that in someones review but it is not noted in the instructions that come with the unit.

I can raise it well above 10 feet. My sticker is not accurate, but I knew it would not be when I set mine up.

That height of mine is about 18inches at the peak. Hope that helps. But I agree with the other answer that it does not increase your height for the same reason.

No. you will have to get the BUNN that is specific for high altitudes. I live at 7500ft and had the same problem. What we did was buy this one and call BUNN and make a exchange. Dont know if the high altitude one is available on Amazon. Once we made the high altitude switch it worked just fine.

Yes, it just get's it over air waves. The higher your elevation the better reception, but really it works just like the chart shows on what channels you can get for tv. We searched google to find tv antenna reception for our area to see what channels we should be able to pick up. This did very well at picking up the ones we were in range of. Still using it and happy to not be paying for cable.

no it doesn't. I forget what the manual says, but I'm guessing the high is around 300d

Well.. you should first know what you are using here. This device (unless it has been changed) measures relative altitudes from a starting point, not above sea-level. This means you start at 0 and ascend. If you use the device in the primary mode to measure Peak altitude (as if a rocket) then Yes, it will display what the peak altitude was of your hike. But the other problem is duration. It will not log your rises and falls and I dont think the battery will hold for more than an hour or two of constant use.
