Cheap Digital Barometer Suggestions?

[alan_d]

Pic of cheepo Aldi one £17 IIRC.

Bar chart shows present,-1,-3,-6,and -12 hrs.

Pressure reading is reasonably accurate as I track Manston. It's out by 6hpa in the pic as I couldn't be bothered to recal after battery change.

4 years old.

Yes I have one identical to that in the house. The one in the boat is similar, but landscape format rather than portrait, and fixes very neatly to the bulkhead.

Another Vion vote

I mentioned Vion earlier because they have been recommeded before but Googling now for them almost in vain.

However found this one http://www.marinescene.co.uk/product/2945/vion-special-marine-electronic-barometer-a4000
It would seem to be what is wanted but a tad more expensive. There seems to be a new version on the way . Same price .

We got the one in your link about 6/7 years ago-it wasn't as dear as that one i seem to remember.
It does work well, esp the alarm on rapid change, if you leave it on!

You can try Vion's official web-site and drill down the links until you arrive at the particular piece of equipment:

one of the functions of my suunto watch is a dig barometer. It has trend for last 3 hours and log for last 24 hours. Very handy on the boat.

Oregon Scientific do some nice kit... complete with wireless sensors.. so you can mount on a spreader or up the top of the mast..
