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.

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.
