phrunt Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The T2 is the most comfortable of my detectors, they sure put a lot of effort into the design to get it well balanced, then they go and throw the volume control/power knob right where it rubs on your clothes on the left hand side of the rear battery box so you keep bumping the volume 😛 , no matter how much thought goes into something they still find a way to stuff it 🙂 I wish more detectors followed that design, not only the weight/balance side of it, it just looks really good too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the same for me , I do not like the T2 power knob side location . Side buttons are not for me ..🙂 🙂 I have even broken an Equinox CB side button and had to send it to the after service . Hopefully ML have a serious after service and they sent me a brand new pod ✌️ 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO im convinced take my money!! XP Deus II the perfect balance Can I get a display model and use it as a weathervane? Would look cool on my roof. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstrackerman Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The length of the deus front of grip to rear of arm cuff ..ORX is 11+ inches almost 11.5. The deus fully adjust back is 11.5 inches. By comparison the tarsacci max adjustment was 9.5". That was like the Garrett ace and AT series where the arm cuff hit middle of forearm. I hate that because that ruins the balance in the detector. All factory shafts should be long enough on both ends to accommodate taller longer arm people. They would still be plenty adjustable for shorter people. I'm 6'4" so not super tall but it's been hard over the years to find detectors that were adjustable enough. Makro did not make tall man rods.. Fisher talk man rods were super long lol. Etrac tall man rods only were 1.5" longer and $63 each! Whites and Garret were too short The deus is actually long enough for me on the coil side and I would love another inch or so on the cuff side but I can deal with it the way it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palzynski Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I am 6' and I would prefer one more inch on the cuff too ... I plan to make an home made rod so that I have exactly what I need/want ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut to length, drill holes where needed etc. I have a couple of those lower rods so I may try that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just move the upper arm shaft back one screw hole and it adds over an inch. The simplex lower rod is slightly to small in circumference. But if you bought a standard or tall man center for for the deus then you would have a longer upper to make a better setup for longer armed guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickindirt Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Thanks for the heads up on this basstrackerman. I will definitely be doing this also. The armcuff also does the same thing. I didn't know of this way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
