What Altitude is
The round one. The one most people leave on.
Mini is for a small space, and it stays quiet. Altitude is for the middle of the desk, and it can make a sound. Same sky: a photo, a map, a clock, the weather, and the board look if you want it. FlightLog sits in your dashboard.
The sound
It can tell you to look up
A sound when an aircraft you care about is overhead. Mini does not do that. Altitude does.
The case
Produced in the UK
The case is 3D printed in PLA+ or PETG. Fine layer lines are part of the finish. It is assembled and tested before it ships.

Who it is for
For the desk you look at, and for the person buying the gift.
The AvGeek
The middle of the desk. Callsign, type, photo, route. Hold the flight you are waiting for, and let it make a sound when it is close.
A gift
The round one that looks like a present and can sound like one. Paid once, produced in the United Kingdom. They pick the face later.
Under the flight path
The plane goes over and the name is already there. A sound if you want the nudge. A clock when the sky is quiet.
What it looks like
The flight, the photo, the clock, the window.
Switch whenever you like. The board look is included. It is not a second thing you have to buy.
The flight
The name, from across the room
Callsign, airline, type, route, height and speed, on the round screen in the middle of the desk.
The photo
A picture of the type
A colour photo of the aircraft overhead. A board of lights can list flights. Altitude can show the aircraft.
When it is quiet
A clock, until the next one
Time, date and the weather when nothing is overhead. It stays the object on the desk.
The window
What is around the house
A live picture of traffic near home, with the track of the one you are watching.
The board look
LED Wall, on the circle
Airline, callsign and how far is left, in the style of a departure board. Switch back to the photo and the map whenever you like.
How LED Wall works
One flight, or the station
Hold the one you are waiting for
A tail, a flight number or a callsign stays on the board until it lands. When the space station is overhead, the same look can tell you to look up.
Faces and looksWhy it is not a board of lights

This "FlightAbove Mini" is very good. Rather than have to look up a well known flight tracker app on my Mobile Phone every time, this sits beside my chair and is on 12 hours a day. I got stuck with the initial setup but Customer Service were excellent and understanding. They gave me all the help I needed. At 4 inches the screen is small making some text hard to read. There are multiple screen options though and with a bit of trial and error, I found one setup which suited my eyes. Do I regret buying this item? Definitely no!! I'm sure there will be updates to come which can only improve this excellent piece of kit for Aviation Geeks 馃檪.

I live under the Heathrow approach and for years I have been gazing up trying to identify aircraft. Now the answer is on my desk. I still look up, then I look down to check.

Setup took about a minute. Plugged in, connected to WiFi, and it started showing planes. My husband spotted his old airline within a few minutes. Easy gift, no homework for me.

Bought it for my dad. Build quality is solid and he had it running the same evening. He still texts photos of random airliners like I am meant to know what they are.

Questions before you decide
Altitude, answered
What is FlightAbove Altitude?
Altitude is the FlightAbove most people choose. A 5 inch round display for the middle of the desk. It names the aircraft overhead: the flight, the airline, the type, a photo and the route. It can play a sound. Paid once.
What does Altitude show?
The flight name, the tail, the airline, the type, the route, how high and how fast, and a photo when one is available. A clock and the weather when the sky is quiet. A map, a radar view, and the departure-board look. It can also play a sound when an aircraft you care about is overhead.
How is Altitude different from Mini?
Mini is the 4 inch square, and it stays quiet. Altitude is the 5 inch round one, with sound, and it is the one most people put in the middle of the desk. Horizon is the 7 inch widescreen. Connect plugs into a TV you already own. The same sky is on all of them.
How is Altitude different from an LED flight wall?
A typical LED flight wall is a grid of dots that lists flights. Altitude is a colour screen: a photograph, a live map, a clock, a sound, and the board look if you want it. You set it in a browser. There is no phone app to install.
Can I lock onto one aircraft?
Yes. You can hold a tail number, a flight number or a callsign on the board look until that flight is down. Nearby aircraft do not take the screen.
Is there a subscription?
No. Altitude is a one-time purchase. Live aircraft, the looks, FlightLog and updates are included.
Can I pay with Klarna or Clearpay?
Yes. Hardware checkout accepts Klarna and Clearpay, plus cards, Google Pay, and Amazon Pay. Clearpay is available on UK deliveries.
Does it work outside the UK?
Yes. If aircraft overhead are sharing their position, Altitude can show them in most places worldwide. Coverage is fullest over Europe and North America. Produced in the United Kingdom is where the display is made, not a limit on the sky.
What is the case made of?
The Altitude case is 3D printed in PLA+ or PETG. Fine layer lines are part of the finish. It is assembled and tested before it ships.
How long until my order arrives?
Produced in the United Kingdom. Allow 5 to 7 business days before dispatch, then courier transit. We email you as it moves.
What power does Altitude need?
A power cable is in the box. You need your own USB or USB-C power supply, capable of 5.1V at 2.5 amps.
How do I change Altitude from the screen?
Press and hold the screen, or double-tap if you prefer that. Brightness and volume sit on the round screen, and Altitude can play a sound. Faces, Flights, Alerts and Device are on the same screen. The HUD curves with the circle. A change saves on its own.
Is Altitude a good gift?
Yes. It is the round one that looks and sounds like a present: a photo, the route, and a sound when a plane you care about is overhead. Paid once. Produced in the United Kingdom. They can change the look later.
