I've tried a lot of different tapes (bike, badmington..).. didn't help much. At the moment I use a 3D printed grip stopper, but that's no "end-solution" either. Maybe an angle compensating mounting bracket / shim would help, but I've been too lazy to design one in CAD, yet

I have made a "grip stopper" out of EVA foam. It's a soft and squishy "donut" that allows much of the weight to be spread out over my thumb and index finger so my swinging hand barely has to grip the Equinox's control pod handle. Basically, it's a foam version of this:

Here's a pic or 2 of my EVA grip stopper donut thingy. It's janky, but it works. I'm going to work on a cleaner version eventually, now that I think I've settled on the Equinox 600 as my go-to detector.

Let us know what you think of it. I liked it during beta-testing.

There are free 3D printer design files on thingverse here

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4106131

for folding Equinox head mounts, in addition to coil ear stiffeners if anyone has access to a printer.

Now I like that. Please post pic with control mounted if possible.

Thanks!
