I’ve used a small low latency transmitter plugged into the ws6 master and paired my Legend headphones and my Avantree torus neck speakers, works very well. About $30 on Amazon..

I wish there was a product that locked the WS6 master to the shaft, mine has come off a few times, put a short leash on it but still its a poor design, has anyone found an aftermarket solution.

I have had 3 different Avantree products, excellent quality, I use the Torus with both my detectors the Legend and the Deus2 ws6 master, I use a low latency transmitter for the master, works great, I use the Torus a lot, listening to music and detecting, great sound.

I can get one and was considering it but having watched a few videos tests I don’t see any reason other than curiosity, I have 350 hours on my Legend and love it, I do have two Quest pinpointers and they are really good, one is five years old and still works like new, also the V80 is costs more than the Legend, but maybe in the future I’ll get one, I’m sure the build quality is good.

The Avantree Torus is my go to, haven’t used my headphones or earbuds since I started using them, they work great and so comfortable I forget I have them on.

I have used mine for several hunts and the battery has been charged once, I found that using it on the second level of sensitivity works best for me, still detects deep but no falsing, I made the bottom hole larger so the protective tip doesn’t get hung up, even at the lowest volume it’s still loud, I put a peace of tape over the speaker, I like the discrimination feature with the different sounds and lights, overall I’m enjoying it.

Sorry Steve I thought you were referring to the Max pointer not the detector.

I’ve been using the XPointer Pro for about 3 years, it’s a PI pointer waterproof to 200ft, it has been and continues to be an excellent product, I certainly recommend it, I recently bought the XPointer Max, it’s a VLF running at 9.5k waterproof to 10ft it has discrimination and some other interesting features, the jury is still out on this unit though.

I run 2.77 and like it, only update I want is the volume without headphones, 1 is to low and 2 is too loud, don’t understand why the gap is so large. The Simplex is my goto park machine.

I have the Avantree clipper pro it’s low latency, I have used it with my Tony Eisenhower headphones to make them wireless, just plug the phones in and carry it in my pocket, works great and the battery life is a few hours, I’ve been considering trying Bone conducting headphones and would buy a cheaper wired version to use with the Clipper Pro

I find the 906 gives me enough air for shallow diving and adequate battery life, I imagine the 910 would work well too but would use more power. I bought a cheap adjustable regulator on line but you have to change to a lighter spring because of the low air pressure ( 16/17psi) I had to fiddle with it quite a bit to find the right balance. It’s very important to dismantle the pump as much as possible and clean it and smooth out some of the rough castings, you will see a lot of particles inside but it’s a simple job. Before I built mine I searched online for any information on 12v hookahs, there’s quite a bit there, I encourage anyone who wants to build one to do the same, There are a lot of naysayers, but it works fine.

I used the 906, I found I didn’t need the pressure switch. I also have another hose setup that uses an ordinary snorkel with purge valve, no regulator, just an open system, very easy to breath, only downside is exhaust bubbles are a bit noisy, There is a very bright fellow in Australia that uses the same open system with a full face mask and an Equinox, he does very well with it, check his Youtube channel “Philbo Baggins” Good luck. Note added by Steve Herschbach 11/24/20 - Please read. If anyone builds their own hookah system, please keep in mind you are putting air in your lungs. Oil (exogenous lipoid pneumonia) or particulate matter can lead to illness or death. All true diving compressors are carefully designed to emit no oil using sealed bearings, etc. All compressors can fail, so having an excellent filter system is also critical, even if the compressor is properly designed. You'd hate to be breathing aluminum particles because a part is prematurely wearing out. Finally, air lines for tools may outgas dangerous fumes when carrying hot air, especially when new. Only use proper food grade air lines designed for breathing air. Bottom line - don't go too cheap! Just in case you are one of those people who think mineral or vegetable oil is safe.... it is not! Oil in lungs is oil in lungs - not supposed to be there!! "However, a wide variety of other oily substances have been reported to cause the disease, including petroleum-based lubricants (e.g., Vaseline), oily nose drops, laxatives, spray lubricants, and lip gloss. 59 Risk factors that predispose to aspiration include gastroesophageal reflux disease and neurologic or psychiatric illness. In one case, exogenous lipoid pneumonia was reported in a commercial abalone diver who presumably aspirated aerosolized mineral oil contained in the unfiltered air generated from his surface air compressor."

I have built a couple of 12v hookahs, the latest is similar to the Blue nemo, It works fine for shallow diving to 15ft, I use a small 7.2ah battery that gives me an hour, I have 2 batteries in the group 24 battery case I use to contain the unit and change when needed, it works fine but if the Nemo had been available at the time I would have bought one. The photos show the hookah and the cooler float I use also the inflatable dry bag that holds wallet, keys, glasses etc.

I bought the Neewer monopod and after some thinking about the adapter, I came up with my solution, I had some 1in rifle scope rings and thought they might work but they were too small so looked online for 30mm rings( a tad big ) , ordered a set for$19.00, made an adapter plate of aluminum and set about putting together something that works, the arm rest is PVC that I put on a piece of aluminium tube that I split and used fillets of JB weld to attach, will make a rest later. because the rings were a tad too big I used a couple of wraps of hockey stick tape( great stuff, use it on my scoop handle), looks like it will be a winner for under $70.00.

I had the Scubatector, it was a very good product, no issues at all, sold it when the Pulsedive came out, another great product, I also have the Quest Xpointer pro and it’s my go to Pin Pointer, waterproof, rechargeable, multiple modes and adjustments and a very reasonable price, 2 years no issues,it’s too bad they abandoned the North American market.
