Aeropod and Pitot tube

[speedyvelo]

I just got the two upgrades one for V3 and the other for Aeropod.
Q: is the pitot tube needed or mandatory for aeropod? I do not ride in the rain.

Thanks

Not mandatory. You should get better crosswind readings with pitot tube attached.

what about consistency in a cross wind?

I don't understand your question.

the numbers in a cross wind I m not sure that are prety ok, also the power because of this is not so accurate

[speedyvelo]

Using the Garmin Vector 3, the numbers (watts) in a cross wind are basically the same as with the AP. Except for live CdA I do not have too much use of the Garmin, I just use the AP as my main power meter.

PowerPod V3 does not come with a pitot tube. AeroPod+ has pitot tube and powerstroke and GPS Tracker. As a power meter both function the same way.
