relicmeister Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Want to know if it will fit inside my camo duffle backpack and don’t want to have to fit the coil on at the site of use. Could somebody measure this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Which coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 This is with the 9” round coin and the ORX. What you see measured 24 1/2 inch from end to end . Hope this will answer your question. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 The coil will also fold back flat against the shaft. This gives a more compact profile but you add the distance between the shaft attachment point to the BOTTOM edged of the coil in overall length (a few more inches). Plus the coil and lower shaft can be easily slid off the main stem and oriented however you want for packing. It is all pretty compact. I have fit the whole thing into a carry on for flight no problem with out disassembly other than sliding the lower shaft and coil off the stem so I can pack each separately in my bag as convenient. In the field, I externally strap it onto my day pack until I reach my destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Thank you Chase and Chuck, this is the information I wanted. The backpack I want to use will fit about 28” with no trouble. If I still don’t want to take the lower shaft out, I’ll have to fold down and rotate the coil shaft like me Chase said. Or I can separate them as it looks simple to do. What kind of lower rod clamp does the ORX have? Durable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You’re going have a hard time rotating the shaft being it’s square. The locks on the shaft is not twist lock being the shaft is not round but a tab you push to lock on a flat surface. Chuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you have a point, so either I can handle the 9” coil sitting perpendicular to the shaft inside the backpack, or I just carry it sepetate and clamp it on at my site. Really looking forward to running the detector, seeing some really good reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The first picture I’m posting is with the locking tab unlocked and the other you can see a little is in lock position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Pretty sure I can fit the full collapsed ORX in my backpack and just leave the coil outside-just zipper the bag up to the coil which will lie flat along the side. If I don’t like it, then I’ll just take the lower shaft/coil off like Chase does- simply not that big a deal Expecting delivery tomorrow- so excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
