The most compact and lightest paragliding variometer on the market !

The CHOUKA‘s lightness and battery autonomy will allow you to leave it constantly on its mounting point during each trip (helmet, risers, harness, cockpit, etc.). This vario is ideal for paragliding hike & fly, mountain flying, tandem, and above all for paraglider pilots rejecting the idea to fly with a labyrinthine system !

    Le Chouka est génial! Je m’en sert pour mon travail de biplaceur parapente, il est placé à l’arrière de mon casque et je peux l’allumer et l’éteindre facilement en vol même avec les gants. Le son est parfaitement audible en toutes circonstances et le type de son me va parfaitement bien, que ce soit faibles ou forts thermiques, le son est agréable et zen. Il fera partie de mes vols solo + un ordinateur de vol pour les infos visuelles.

    The Chouka is great! I’m using it for my paragliding tandem job, It is fixed at the back of my helmet and I can switch it on and off super easily even when wearing gloves. The sound is perfect in all situations and this type of sound perfectly suits my needs either in weak or strong thermal, the sound is nice and zen. It will be part of my gear during solo flights as well for the sound + a flight computer for visual informations.

    used for couple flights, minimal and functional; must say I had it on the back of my helmet and it wasn’t loud enough to be used with the radio on. Will try place it on my chest next time. Not a big problem for me but the plastic quality is a bit “home made 3d printed”, in fact it shipped slightly bent on one corner

    The sensitivity is good, it is lightweight and I like the design. Very satisfied!
