A used, good condition Replogle Barograph can be bought for under 250 USD.
Two Cameras--200 USD.
Homemade camera mount--15 USD
Barograph paper, film and processing all cost--??10 USD per flight.
Recalibration annually 35 USD as opposed to every two years for approved
logger.

If you ask around, someone might have the barographs and cameras they will
give you--maybe---if you are lucky.

Turnpoint photography is tricky and sometimes dangerous. Shoot a bunch of
pictures and have an old-timer look at them before you count on it.

Our club has a old model Volkslogger available for use--Quirky; and a B
model EW --even quirkier (is that a word?)
Most members have not even read the manual--on the website.

Are IGC approved loggers too expensive? What is there cost point
compared to a Barograph and camera setup? I.E. The cost of a Colibri
logger compared to the cost of an approved Barograph (in 2008
dollars). I don't know the cost of a barograph 20 years ago (in there
heyday) but they could not have been cheap.

Also, are clubs and individuals making loggers available to newer
pilots for badge flights as barographs were?

Just some pondering.

Of course they are too expensive!

Our club took up doantions and bought a EW Avionics Microrecorder.
About $800.

It is very compact, portable, and very easy to use. Anyone in the club
is welcome to use it.
