Let's find out:

Thanks Bob!

Steelheader, I'm not sure; I was of the impression that for most who have my shaft, they run it with the remote on it, and then may run the WS6 on their stock shaft...to have two complete rigs.  I wasn't sure if folks were using the WS6 with my shaft, or not (and so I told Ryan there my be no need to make a version of his WS6 mount that is compatible with my shafts).

Is this something that you (and others) would find useful?

Thanks,

Steve

Very nice!  And well done on the vinyl cover!  Off topic a little but what’s the difference between the regular shaft and the lite one?   Not just the weight but are there any other differences like more flimsy?

I found the distance between armcuff and the handle to be too short for me on the lite as I am tall . And this distance cannot be modified as it is a single molded part.

I prefer shafts where the armcuff handle distance can be set to my preferences, like on my Quest Q30 mod shaft.

I’m using the ws6 master on my Steve’s detector shaft.  It is a super light combination.

Today I got the RCDIGS V1 mount. I'm glad I did because I'm going to be giving it intermittent heavy use all this week. I'm headed to a beach campground. It's a pretty popular place but I've found the D2 can hit a lot of stuff others miss, however I'm going to have to dig for it. Just about every dig is 5 scoops or more down. 😵 I'm hoping that going a week later than last year will mean more warm days and fresh finds. My wife wants a diamond this year. 😬

This is the difference - V0 was solid, V1 is not. V0 had no way to use wired headphones, V1 has ample space to plug them in. You could probably even plug a transceiver in there.

Next is the angle, I hope you can see it in the photo:

It's much more comfortable to push the buttons. Could even be leaned back more. 🤔 Here is the new angle:

And this is the old one.

It's much easier to hold the button down for ground balancing. My hands are large but not huge. Below I have my 65mm (32.5 radius) circle of vinyl covering the WS6. You'll have to make your own. There are pilot holes for the screws, I recommend stainless.

I'll be updating this thread more in the next few days from the beach, may just do a separate post.

Ryan of RCDIGS.com has a real winner here! 👍
