Description

Our new little one – ready for ascent

The state-of-the-art DFM-17 is our latest Radiosonde and currently one of the lightest and smallest radiosondes on the market. It was designed for precise and reliable measurement of temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed. It is easy to use, simplifies the preparation before the ascent and thus, making it the ideal instrument for daily sounding.
