Mipfly Mipbip X - Bluetooth Variometer

A vario that wants to disappear in your bag

Looking for a reliable reference instrument without weighing down your Hike & Fly gear? The Mipfly Mipbip X steps in. Weighing just 29 grams, it attaches to your wrist or harness without bothering you. It's an ideal companion for local ridge flights, long thermal sessions, or simply as a precise backup in the bag.

Precision and connectivity

Behind its minimalist casing (72 x 38 x 14 mm), you'll find a MS5611 pressure sensor paired with an accelerometer for instant vertical speed detection. Bluetooth connectivity (BLE and classic) establishes quickly with your Android or iOS smartphone. XCTrack, XCSoar on Android, and Flyskyhy on iOS control the data stream without latency. Note that Bluetooth automatically turns off after five minutes of inactivity to save battery; a single press on the power button reactivates it.

Power and audio feedback

Endurance is no longer an issue thanks to the integrated solar cell and USB-C charging. The dual-speaker system delivers clear polyphonic sound, adjustable up to 90 dB via a dedicated web interface. No screen to keep weight down, just ergonomic buttons usable with gloves and an included lanyard. You can customize frequencies and cycles according to your hearing habits.

On the ground, this compact format makes a difference for pilots who want to stay light. It intelligently complements your existing GPS without costly duplication. Check OTG compatibility if you use XCTrack on Android, and adjust settings in your chosen app.
