steveg Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hey all. I know this is the Deus 2 forum, but this relates to the discussion going on in the RCDigs mount thread, and specifically, to DSMITH's questions. I have spoken with the guy who makes the RCDigs mounts, about an idea that I had that would make the mount directly compatible with either a Deus 1 or an ORX remote. My idea is to make an "adapter," that fits the inside of the mount, but fits the outside of the Deus/ORX remote, so that you'd simply slide the adapter into the mount, and then slide the remote into the adapter. This might be a relatively low-cost, simple way to make the mount (designed specifically to fit the D2 remote) compatible with the D1/ORX. The issues are these: 1. I'm not sure if the shape of the Deus 1 and ORX remotes are identical, or just "similar." If anyone has an answer to this, please let me know. I THINK they are identical, but not positive on that... 2. Neither of us has a D1 or ORX remote at our disposal, to use as a template for developing such an "adapter." So, if by chance anyone has a defective one, that is no longer under warranty or whatever, and thus is just collecting dust, I'd be interested in it. Again, I'd just need one for enough time to use it as a template, so it doesn't make much sense to purchase a properly functioning one, just for "design" purposes. But, a non-functioning one, that could thus be had for a much lower price, would be worth purchasing... Thoughts? Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hey Steve if interested I could send you my ORX remote so you could use it as a temp-let and then just send it back to me when finished, i am not getting in much detecting rite now so it would not be an issue to loan it to you, then just send it back when finished with what you need from it. I really want to purchase one of those RCDIGS things but I just have not had a chance to purchase one yet so if you and the manufacturer can come up with a solution for a better fit of the ORX remote I will wait to purchase one when you and RCDIGS comes up with the adapter to make it better for the ORX fit Let me know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveg Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 @DSMITH -- Send me an email, if you are interested, at steve@stevesdetectorrods.com. Ryan has a working prototype of the adapter I mentioned; I wanted to see if you'd be interested in field-testing it... Thanks! Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
