Neptune's amazing logging features

What you see:

jump summary jump details
jump speeds logbook summary

Oops! You forgot to log your jumps last weekend: did you make 5 jumps Saturday, or was it 6? Was the 2nd jump on Sunday that sweet 4-way, or was it a 2-way head-down? How long was that wingsuit jump - 2 minutes or 3?

Don't waste your brain space trying to remember what jumps you did! Let your Neptune take care of it all: see the date, time, and all the stats you need for all your jumps. Download them to Paralog and save them on your computer.

There is no time limit to your jumps - Neptune will record the longest freefall you can make (safely, of course).

   Neptune Customer's Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does it mean that you can update Neptune software? Why is this a big deal

    In short, free software updates mean you get the equivalent of a new Neptune every time we come up with a new feature.

    When you buy electronics, you are buying two things: hardware (the physical thing) and software (what it does and how it does it). The latest, greatest, most advanced personal computer with no operating system and no programs is just an expensive paperweight!

    The Neptune is no different; when you buy a Neptune, you are paying for both the physical parts and the software that makes it do all the great things it does.

    We can make the Neptune change how it does things, add new features (like Swoop Mode, which we pioneered and released in 2004) and remove things people don't like (like max speed, which was removed by popular demand in 2003).

    If a device's software is not updateable, you have to buy an entirely new unit every time a feature is changed. With the Neptune, you get the new features on your old Neptune for FREE.
