cdv Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 21 hours ago, steveg said: CPT_GhostLight -- THANKS! Brad -- Very keen eye you have there! That remote mount being recessed like that is VERY intentional; the first time I handled a D2, I immediately noticed that to access the buttons on the remote, a user must manipulate their thumb in what I consider to be a very awkward, unusual manner (requiring you to loosen your grip on the handle and "contort" your thumb in an unnatural way). So, by "recessing" the mount like that, it will also "recess" the remote control, so to speak, thus placing the face/screen of the remote more nearly on the same plane as the rear side of the handle. As a result, the motion of your thumb that is needed to access the buttons on the remove will be a much simpler/more natural motion. And yes, the upper shaft will "slide into the handle," in the way the stock shaft does. Thanks! Steve Another good point "for me" with that recessed mount....it "should" solve the rubbing problem I have on my thumb knuckle. On the stock shaft/handle my thumb rubs on the bottom of the remote. Get r done Steve.... I'm saving up my clad to pay you! Cliff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the forces of waves, it has been an important part of my set-up for years. HH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having not swung a Deus (only handled one briefly), that "hand rubbing" was not something I would have noticed right off, but yes -- with the remote "recessed," I think it will likely mitigate that problem, as well... Thanks -- I'll hurry along as quick as I can, with it! Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the "production" model, the remote-control mount will be black plastic (not white), and the handle and arm cuff will be carbon fiber, not 3D printed plastic Looking forward to the finished product, Steve. Meanwhile, nice homebrew rig, Dave, can't wait to hear how it does on your next trip down south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
