December 12, 2016 New Version 9 Software for Star Gazer Three Event Expected to be released in late January 2017, the newest version of software for Slalom Course Skiers has a number of significant enhancements: Engagement is improved in short set ups (or with inexperienced overly aggressive drivers) by using a new calculation based on RPM, GPS Speed and Rate of Acceleration. This enables the system to more quickly zero in on the correct position for the Servo Motor. The Calibration for RPM Baselines can now be performed “automatically” in open water in AUTO CAL MODE. Simply throttle up and system will engage and will set the baseline for 36 mph. It will then drop the set speed to 34 and repeat, etc. All baselines can be set in this mode in under 2 minutes. Disengagement in the end turns for slower speed skiers has also been improved to make driving easier. The user interface has been tweaked and is more intuitive and user friendly.

April 25, 2013 Pylon Rope Kit for Tracking Cameras $35 Video cameras mounted to pylons are becoming extremely popular. Brands such as Wake Eye, Ski-Doc, Trakker & E-Z-Cam are very effective; however the big problem for slalom skiers comes when shortening or changing the line length which can be cumbersome. The PerfectPass Pylon Rope Kit with “Carabiner” has been used by slalom skiers for years to make shortening the rope quick & easy. This same ease has now been discovered for skiers using Pylon Mounted Tracking Cameras. The Details: PerfectPass supplies a .5 meter long rope which attaches to the Pylon. The other end has a high quality Carabiner for secure & easy rope connection. Your ski rope must be shortened by .5 meter. (In many cases you can simply remove the .5 meter 43 off section) Alternatively, PerfectPass has ski ropes available with this .5 meter section removed. Cost is $35.

Feedback was unanimously positive from a variety of skiers on all boats tested (2008 MasterCraft, 2002 American Skier and a 2001 Ski Nautique). According to those involved in the evaluation, the enhanced PerfectPass software produced an entrance gate pull and in course feel that duplicated the ZO system.
