New Oudie Photos

Hi,

I just took a bunch of photos of the new Naviter Oudie and all the included
accessories. I also show photos of an optional modification to the Oudie's
cradle which allows it to work well with a RAM cradle or GNeck2 gooseneck.

Below are links to the updated pages.

I now have Oudie units in stock that have not been sold yet. They are
selling incredibly fast. It is a great product. I love the hardware and
the new software features.

Of course, Goddard cables will be available very soon for connecting the
Oudie to a wide variety of soaring instruments.

Good Soaring,

I measured the ball on the suction cup base. It is 16mm or 5/8".
McMaster-Carr sells a variety of 5/8" plastic balls, but they come in packs
of 25 or more and I didn't have much use for the extra 23-24 pieces, I
looked locally.

I was able to find 5/8" wood balls at Hobby-Lobby and Michaels for a couple
of dollars They fit well into the socket on the back of the Oudie cradle.
They are an alternative to modifying the cradle that comes with the Oudie,
allowing a ball to be put on the end of whatever arm you currently use. The
pieces at Hobby lobby have the ball on the end of a 5/8" cylinder making
them particularly easy to mount. Painted black, no-one will know they are
wood.

Another option is to use the RAM 9/16 ball (or any other similar
product), dipped twice into liquid plastic made for tool handles, and
allowed to dry thoroughly. RAM makes a two-ended 9/16 ball piece, and
also separate threaded 1/4-20 balls so you can mix and match sizes. I
just tried this last night, works like a charm.

If you purchase the Oudie & a ram arm from Craggy Aero the cradle
modification is free and a tilt swivel is include with the Ram Arm.

This allows you to tilt the Oudie easily without loosening the arm.
A small tilt take the glare away.
