Radios First of all, they'll be invaluable allies when you're new to paragliding and the landing area is approaching, for example... Of course, they allow you to keep in touch, and can be accessorised with remote microphones or larger-capacity batteries. The models we've chosen are lightweight and dual-band (CADs that work abroad on different channels, like New Zealand or the USA, for example).

The varios are our friends, their sound guiding us like the song of the sirens. A multitude of instruments, from the simplest to the most elaborate, are available here to guide us into the invisible. For hiking flights, travel, or as an initial purchase, the micro variometer with sound is ideal: light and simple, it can be attached to your helmet, thrown into a pocket or attached to your harness with Velcro, so you can sing along as the altitude changes. They can be recharged by USB, battery or solar power. The more sophisticated variometer with display can be configured to suit your needs. It will also be more accurate, with a host of functions: altitude, vertical speed, gain since take-off, flight time - you'll have all this information in front of you in real time. It's the perfect tool for pilots looking to make progress.
