9 g
At 23 x 23 x 11 mm, it is the smallest variometer on the market.
600 h
With a standard CR2032 coin cell (500 h at high volume).

Individually adjust volume, sink tone, sensitivity, tone modulation and take-off detection.
Alu
Housing made of high-strength, anodized AW-7019 aluminium.
Stays quiet at launch and only starts beeping once you're in the air.
Switches off automatically and warns you in good time when the battery is running low or the device is jammed.
The fast response time (tR) of the Nano Vario lets you hear thermals instantly. You center more precisely, stay in the strongest lift more easily and gain altitude much faster.
Born from many years of flying experience: We designed the Nano Vario to be radically minimalist and precise – exactly the way a flight instrument should be. Handmade in Salzburg.
because every detail counts
Mount it at the back of your helmet and forget about it. At 9.3 grams you won't even notice it. A CR2032 coin cell lasts for up to 600 flight hours, often several seasons. No charging, no cables.
A variometer that always works, even when the sun isn’t shining. Attach it to your riser, helmet, shoulder strap, or cockpit—it stays right where you put it, ready for action on every flight.
Flying cross-country with your phone? Your phone records your track, and the Nano Vario adds a precise vario tone with more than 16 pressure readings per second.
Switch it on and fly, no app and no pairing. It is operated with a single button. The clear tone helps you feel thermals and center them cleanly.
Scope of delivery
Delivered in a sustainably produced cardboard box – made in Austria.
That was a deliberate decision. A wireless connection uses a lot of energy and makes the device more complicated. We optimized the hardware entirely for a fine response, long battery life and clean audio output. We tested more than 40 piezo speakers for the sound.
The NanoVario measures air pressure more than 16 times per second and detects altitude changes of around 10 cm. A purpose-built filter model ensures a direct yet stable response. This lets it achieve results as good as or even better than varios with an additional accelerometer.
Two self-adhesive Velcro strips are included. They hold the vario on your helmet, harness strap or cockpit. You set the matching sensitivity in the menu:
You get the best readings in a spot without air turbulence. Positions on the side of the helmet are unfavorable, because airflow and head movements cause rapid pressure changes there.
Up to 600 hours with a standard CR2032 coin cell, depending on the volume setting. The battery comes pre-installed. When it gets low, you'll hear an extra tone after the power-on tone when switching on. The vario will then keep beeping for around 20 to 30 more hours, so you have plenty of time to replace it.
In two minutes with the included Phillips screwdriver:
The NanoVario works from −20 °C to +60 °C. The housing is made of anodized aluminium (AW-7019), high-strength and scratch-resistant. It is not waterproof: above all, protect the gap around the button from water, sand and dust.
Yes, everything is done with a single button:
NanoVario with pre-installed CR2032 battery, Phillips screwdriver, 2 self-adhesive Velcro strips, quick guide and stickers, packed in a sustainably produced cardboard box from Linz.
We mill the aluminium housing ourselves in Salzburg. Each housing takes around 30 minutes and 18 tools. Anodizing is done in Bavaria; development and assembly take place in Salzburg. We deliberately produce on demand – it is not a mass-produced product.
We generally ship on the same day. Delivery takes approximately 2–3 business days within Austria and 7–10 days across Europe.
Find the thermals and fly as far as you can, with the world’s smallest vario.
From 175 km the sun slowly starts to set – how far can you get?
Tip: turn the sound on! On a phone, it plays best in portrait mode.
