I was just reading up on the Divesoft Freedom Trimix dive computer.
Freedom Full Trimix - Detail - DIVESOFT.CZ
Summary of highlights:
- supports 9 trimix gases, upgradeable to suppot CCR (9 gases + 8 diluents)
- can setup new gases while in Dive mode - also can have gases configured but deactivated (like Shearwater but unlike Seabear H3)
- 1-button gas switches
- Buhlmann with GF
- thinner than a Perdix
- color display is slightly bigger than Perdix (2.4" vs 2.2"), with same resolution
- built-in rechargeable battery, but not clear on how much dive time it is expected to provide
- rated to 300m (1000') depth
- USB interface for charging and downloads
- optional O2 analyzer add-on
- 2 buttons plus supports input via tilt, tap on screen, and shining a light on it. The 2 buttons can be used individually for short or long press and some things where you press both simultaneously.
- UI can be flipped for right or left hand use
Price is USD$693 without VAT (which you wouldn't have to pay if you're in the U.S., I believe). Even cheaper versions for Rec Nitrox (USD$480) or Advanced Nitrox (USD$607) - which can be upgraded to Trimix or CCR later.
So, are any of y'all using one of these? Review?
In response to the typical "what computer should I buy" question, why not recommend the Rec Nitrox version of this? Then they can upgrade to AN or TX later, if they go Tech. If they don't, then they have a computer that does everything they need for way less than a $850 Perdix.
I searched on here and only found one post from someone who says they have one, and that person said he thinks it is great. I found a couple of other threads where people asked about it and got no reply. But, the posts were at least half a year or so old. So, the computer has been around at least that long. Maybe someone has now had one long enough to give a review?
