Steve Herschbach Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 9 hours ago, ALEXANDRE TARTAR said: The battery will disappear, the battery cable too. 4 lithium ion cells type 18650 will be inserted into the tube with a anti fall screw cap . The redesigned armrest becomes sliding. So based on the above, sort of like this, but the upper rod probably a little thicker. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvr Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 How is the balance of the swing with current battery box removed (sort of like shown) compared to it fully assembled and ready to go? Reason for question is that, on the couple of occasions I have had elbow problems, I have added weight behind the arm cuff of some of my detectors to better balance them and reduce torque induced on the elbow. Upper edge of arm cuff positioned right behind elbow and not on forearm helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 There will be four batteries in the upper rod, instead of in a separate battery pack under the rod. Something tells me Fisher will be paying attention to the balance since that’s been a major selling point. But if as you are asking, you just remove the batteries... it’s nose heavy. Though not that bad in my opinion. I’ve swung worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvr Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Thank you for trying that. I hope you are right that they will keep it well balanced. A little bit lighter coil might just do the trick. I think I remember reading that during the development they had played with different types of epoxy with difference weight density for the coil as part of the overall dynamics of the package ... but please don't have a coil that needs to be held down because it wants to float! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That’s a clean looking design Steve. You’re probably right on target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryC/Oregon Coast Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 So where are you imagining the headphone cable connecting too? I don't see that to clearly. GaryC/Oregon Coast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 I’m just going by what Alexandre is saying, and he would know. So hopefully he will chime in with where the headphones will go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joe Beechnut OBN Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 My Opinion...........They better move up with something more modern....more of a Carbon fiber look. ....And I don't think four 18650s are going to do the job, I'm thinking more (4) 26650's inline ..same battery the MDT uses..the new Fisher needs at least 8 hours hunt time to cover these young guys and who have endless energy, and not have to walk back to the car to change the batteries after 5 hours....And for the Old Goats like me have a insert that holds the (4) smaller (less weight) 18650 batteries.....I need to work for these guys....second though I enjoy hunting more. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steve Herschbach Posted July 8, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 I agree about the four 26650 batteries Joe, and your version does look nicer. A perfect design. Hey, I’ve got an idea. Fisher should put out an early version of this detector. Then, after enough users have time to use the machine, poll them for ideas to come up with the perfect finished version. 8 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Agree emphatically on the battery capacity........I can easily hunt for 8 hours which my TDIBH battery pack fortunately gives me (4x18650). Fisher must find a way to achieve this run time ☝️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
