The miniBip V2 is the only instrument in the Stodeus range to run exclusively on its internal battery, without a solar cell. Wherever you are, recharge it using USB-C, and set off for hundreds of hours of flying.

Its compact design and ultra-light weight of 24g make the miniBip V2 the lightest instrument in the Stodeus range. Leave it on your equipment at all times, for days when you’re doing one rotation after another, or for cross-country flying.

⚠️ Important Notice About the LiveTracking Feature

The LiveTracking functionality available on our devices requires the activation of a continuous connectivity service, which involves a monthly fee.
However, this service can be suspended during months when LiveTracking is not in use.

To enable LiveTracking, the following minimum monthly charges apply:

• Tracker 4G and LiveONE: service available from €3.99 / month
• Live C and Live DS: service available from €2.99 / month

Without an active subscription, real-time tracking will not be available.

Disclaimer
The Flymaster Live Tracking system operates exclusively through terrestrial LTE-M and 2G communication networks.
Consequently, the availability and reliability of live tracking services are entirely dependent on the coverage and performance of these networks.
Devices equipped with Enhanced Live Tracking (i.e., incorporating the Flarm module) may, however, provide improved tracking performance in certain situations where standard LTE-M and 2G connectivity is limited or unavailable.
The additional transmission capabilities of the Flarm module can enhance visibility and data exchange within compatible networks and infrastructures.
Nevertheless, communication and tracking cannot be guaranteed in areas lacking terrestrial network coverage or adequate signal propagation.
Users are therefore advised that instruments relying on terrestrial communication networks must not be regarded as emergency or safety-of-life devices, nor as providing assured connectivity or location transmission under all circumstances.
Flymaster shall not be held liable for any failure of communication, tracking, or data transmission arising from network unavailability or related technical limitations.

Whether beginner or pro – with the XC Tracer Maxx II you fly more intuitively than ever before. It is not that XC Tracer Varios are only for professionals, rather the opposite. Professionals like Chrigel have been flying for so long that it doesn’t make a big difference to them if the beep from the vario and what you feel don’t match. For pilots with not so much flying experience, flying an XC Tracer Maxx II becomes an intuitive experience, what the vario beeps and what you feel matches perfectly. Come to one of the test festivals and try this yourself, you will be amazed how easy it is to fly in thermals with an XC Tracer.

Maximum precision

Conventional variometers have the disadvantage that climb and sink are always indicated with a more or less large time delay. With the XC Tracer Maxx II, the data from different sensors are combined with a complicated mathematical procedure and this time delay is eliminated. Thanks to delay-free display of climb / sink, finding and centering thermals with a Maxx II is much easier than with a conventional variometer.

And you can set the tones of the variometer as you like, please use our tone simulator.

Maximum intuitive

Screens reduced to the essentials allow intuitive flying. Icons instead of text for effortless interpretations – you don’t have to read any manual. We designed the screens to be as easy to read as possible – you just take a quick look and you’ve already grasped the essential information, so you can get back to watching the airspace and concentrating on flying. For the display we use a hardened special glass, which avoids disturbing reflections and at the same time is very robust.

You can choose which screens you want to have displayed. You can choose from the following screens:

Simple: Vario analog, Vario digital, Altitude, Speed over ground, Compass

Standard: Vario analog, Vario digital, altitude, speed over ground, compass, wind, glide ratio, flight time

Thermal: Vario analog, Vario digital, altitude, wind, thermal assistant, altitude curve of the last 30 seconds

Buddy: Displays altitude, vario, position and status of up to 8 buddies, plus position and status of up to 100 flarms

Airspace: Display with side view and top view, zoom levels can be selected. Screen update rate is up to 10Hz, warnings are integrated.

Screens are fixed and cannot be changed. Functions for competitions and XC are not planned at the moment, since everyone flies with a tablet with XCTrack anyway.

Maximum social

You can always see where your buddies are. The Maxx II has a real FANET including FLARM built in, which means Maxx II can also receive data from other FANET. If you see a buddy at the launch site and want to add him as a buddy, it’s as simple as a few clicks on the red button, only the vario with FANET from the buddy must be switched on and no further than 30m away.

You can add up to 8 buddies, so you always know how far away they are, how high they are, the vario display is also transmitted. And then also if the respective buddy is still flying or not.

And finally the position of your buddies is stored continuously. In the worst case, if a buddy does not show up in the evening, you can look up in your XC Tracer Maxx II where your buddy was the last time a FANET signal was received. You will find Latitude, Longitude, Altitude and Status. This information can be very helpful to locate a missing paraglider. You can also use your XC Tracer Maxx II as a search device, as all nearby FANET are displayed.

Maximum simplicity

To make the operation as easy as possible we have only one button to operate the vario. The operation is super simple, you will be surprised how easy it is. You can adjust almost all settings with just this one button. And for the final details there is always the possibility to connect the vario to the computer and add the final touches to the config file.

Maximum proven

Red Bull X-Alps, World Record and countless other flyers swear by the XC Tracer technology. Take a closer look at the photos from Red Bull XAlps 2021, where more than two-thirds of the pilots flew with an XC Tracer. Look for a little black box with a red string and a red button on the photos – these are all XC Tracer Varios! And some pilots have even used a Maxx.

Maximum compactness

To make the vario as compact as possible, we have spared no expense and developed an internal flarm antenna. This antenna is so broadband that it works all over the world, no matter if you fly in Europe, USA, Australia or anywhere else. And to make sure you can fly legally, the vario is CE and FCC certified.

Maximum endurance

The Vario has a built-in lithium polymer battery, which is fully charged for more than 70 hours of continuous operation, including data transmission via BLE and recording of IGC and KML files, and of course the operation of the FANET/FLARM radio with transmission and reception of FANET/FLARM data. The battery can be recharged via the included USB – C cable if needed.

Maximum light

The XC Tracer Maxx II weighs only 120 grams, so it is easy to take along on hike & fly.

Don’t be surprised if you never have to recharge the vario during a whole season! The Vario has a built-in lithium-polymer battery, which is fully charged for about 30 hours of continuous operation, including operation of FLARM and FANET, data transmission via BLE and recording of IGC and KML files. But since the battery recharges during the flight by the built-in solar cells, the autonomy is almost unlimited. The battery can also be recharged via the included USB – C cable if needed.

Safety first

The Mini V has a built-in FLARM and FANET to protect you from collisions. Want to know where your buddies are on the road? If you carry a smartphone with a suitable app, that’s no problem. The app receives the FANET position signals of your buddies via the Bluetooth channel of your Mini V and displays them on your phone. With some apps you can even send text messages to your buddies via Bluetooth and FANET. Logically, your own Mini V also continuously transmits your position via FANET and FLARM. Together with the XC Tracer Maxx II, the Mini V is one of the few Varios in the world that is certified according to the strict FCC criteria.

In the worst case scenario, if a buddy doesn’t show up in the evening, you can check your smartphone app to see where your buddy’s vario last sent a FANET signal from. If the app supports it, you’ll find latitude, longitude, altitude, and status. This info can be very helpful in locating a missing paraglider.

Bluetooth

The XC Tracer Mini V is equipped with a BLE 4.2 module (Bluetooth Low Energy). So you can connect your app (see list) on your Android / iOS / e-reader to the vario via BLE.

Simply

One button and that’s it. The button is used to turn the device on and off and to change the volume of the from 0 (no sound) to 4 (loud).

The configuration of the vario is done via an intuitive text file. If you have a problem with the vario or don’t know how to set something please read here.

Flightlog

As a flight log we recommend the LogFly software. Intuitive and compatible with XC Tracer, LogFly does everything automatically and provides a lot of interesting information and statistics.
