I am new to the hobby with a Nox 800 as my first detector. There are a lot of exceptional ideas presented here by people who have been doing this long enough to be considered pros. I do not have enough experience to comment on the programming aspect. So far, I agree with all the hardware suggestions made. I sincerely hope Minelab puts serious consideration into the ideas put forth here. I am a 5' 2" woman and am convinced all these machines are designed for 7' tall men built like linebackers. The elbow cuff is way too wide; the accompanying strap is pointless as it doesn't fit the cuff. We had to add thick felt to the cuff in order to keep my arm from slopping around in it while swinging. The reach between the cuff on its closest hole to the grip is to long for me as well. We added two hole positions to solve this. I'm not sure that it being nose heavy is as noticeable with my shorter height but I definitely agree that a "S" shaft would be more comfortable. Summing up the adjustments I would like to see: * More positions for the arm cuff * Smaller cuff option or an adjustable cuff * More ergonomic shaft
